General NUFC stuff

Alternative best individual performances XI... from players that generally were average-to-poor/forgettable for the rest of their NUFC career.

 

GK - Jon Karelse, Arsenal (a) in 1999/2000: Kept a clean sheet (he only made like 2 saves) and didn't f*** anything up for once.

 

RB -

CB - James Perch, Liverpool (h) in 2011/12: Kept Suarez in his pocket for the whole game and got Reina sent off, leading to Enrique in goal.

CB -

LB - Wayne Quinn, Lokeren (a) in 2001/02: Only went and scored, didn't he!

 

RW -

CM - Clarence Acuna, Spurs (a) in 2001/02: Bagged a header and managed to run the midfield despite playing alongside Jamie McClen for the entire match.

CM - Scott Parker, Arsenal (h) in 2005/06: Battled superbly in the centre of the park, took a fist to the face from Jens Lehmann, subbed after making a half-dazed tackle with his head after 70-odd minutes.

LW -

 

CF - Mark Viduka, West Ham (h) in 2007/09: Scored one beauty and one tap in, and made me think he was going to be class for us under Fat Sam. :lol:

CF - Shola Ameobi, Sunderland (h) in 2010/11: Knocked in a pair of goals and absolutely dominated the mackem defenders all day long.

 

Very much a work in progress ofc. Suggestions welcome

CM - Mark Kerr vs Arsenal FA Cup 2002

 

Do you mean Brian Kerr?

 

Or Jamie McClen even.

On the same theme...an individual performance XI against us...

 

Crossley for Fulham in the 1-4 under Souness. Wright-Phillips for City in the same season where we beat them 4-3, Scholes in the 2-6...

Robert Pires for Metz has to be in there, he was absolutely incredible. I remember thinking there and then that we should try and sign him, and we should have.

Dummett v Liverpool 1-0 in 2014 I think it was. Had Sterling firmly in his pocket all game.

Anita v West Ham end of the same season. Was incredible that game.

Shane Ferguson v Bordeaux at home. Kid looked like a real talent that night.

Geremi v Spurs (a) under keegan, think he got two assists and a goal!

Kompany had a game against us a few years ago when he could have been the only City player on the pitch and we still wouldn't have scored.

 

Great shout. Him and Yaya Toure were superb that afternoon if it's the same game we're thinking in 2012.

Sounds about right, Toure was immense that game as well :thup:

Gerrard when Liverpool beat us 1-5

 

 

The amount of times Gerrard had a stormer up here was unreal. Every single time we would give him so much space and he would destroy us.
