The Bonk Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 47 minutes ago, David Edgar said: A goal, fantastic. Wipes away all the muck. Can never fault his efforts and defensive work but it is obvious he is a poor finisher and has been very sloppy for weeks I've definitely overstepped out of frustration calling him a fraud. But the frustration is well warranted. He's been shite for weeks. Still some cunts will start point scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 No need to point score. He has to get swagger and confidence back. He had it after his goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I hope that celebration as particularly aimed at Craig Hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 He's very frustrating at the moment but that was one of his better games, his final product and decision making still needs to improve but hopefully he can build on this performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, halve. He was terrible in that first half. Something he hopefully builds on though as you say. Edited December 4 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 (edited) He needs to do the step over and go on the outside more, he’s actually good at it when he does it. Edited December 4 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Had some really poor moments today, but he kept going and didn't let his head drop, which was great to see, and he ended up with a really great goal. Just needs to now not be moved around any more, so he can build on this and really get into a rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Lovely to see him getting "Trent" booked immediately. Looked absolutely shit scared of tackling him after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Thought he had a really good game and so glad he got the goal. When he missed that chance, then quite embarrassingly went down in the box straight after, I felt really down about him. So glad he ended on a high note.

Smal Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 (edited) hope the goal gives him some confidence, aye. Don’t necessarily agree that he needs to go on the outside more, but he definitely does need use the overlap more often because he is very predictable.

Too often he slows it down then it all sort of fizzles out. He runs into a defender, he cuts back and never gets the angle for the shot, he plays a low percentage pass into traffic to a man back to goal etc. I feel like I’m giving him shit all the while. But we know how great he can be and I’m not seeing it this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will sound strange but I thought his finish for his goal was pretty crap. Yes I know his shot ended in a goal but look at it again. It was far too close to the keeper and it should have been saved in reality. We well deserved the point so I'm not complaining but his finishing needs work.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 FWIW I thought he had a mixed game but his ceiling is so high and his desire is so strong that you just have to persevere with him. You won't get better materials to work with, we just have to make sure he's working on things and not getting distracted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 He looked overwhelmed first half but that confidence came flooding back after the goal. He was so much snappier and more decisive - it's class when he does a tearing run through the middle while midfielders try to keep up with him.

A much better performance than of late but not a great performance. Not much of an attacking threat and often made poor decisions when doing that but done loads of work, winning possession etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I went for a smoke when he got through one on one. He really needs to work on his composure. Got a bit lucky with the goal too. Still, his best performance for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I wouldn't say he got lucky with the goal, it wasn't in the corner but the move was unexpected and the shot was early and well hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
