Superior Acuña Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think baba's crap. However, some people are ridiculous. So many people seem like they want him to fail, they're just waiting to have a go. One time he played a good ball down the line, but it curled. Before it curled people were giving him abuse, they could at least wait til it's run its course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 James Milner was the worst player on the pitch, after all he CANT play down the left ! mackems.gif Let me guess. Copyrights HTL? Indeed. Milner has always looked comfortable on either wing. Better on the right, yes, because of his crossing, but still very comfortable there. Alot more than good enough as a backup for that wing.

Northern Monkey Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 We have a left wing backup, if everyone is fit - Duff. Milner can do a job there for a game or two, but we will be less effective. We'll be even less effective with Dyer there - outside of the centre of midfield he really struggles to do what talent he has justice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 We have a left wing backup, if everyone is fit - Duff. Aye, but the point of that discussion/thread was that it was a tad silly to spend 5mill and 70k per week on a backup player for the left wing, when we already have 2-3 adequate ones, whilst having not a single fullback good enough for anywhere near where we want to be, as well as being in the need for a good centreback AND a good forward.

Cronky Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Let's not fight. We've beaten a good side. It's the sort of result that the players can really take some confidence from. As others have said, the defence was transformed in the second half. They were a lot more aggressive. It felt like they were committing themselves as individuals more, relying on the fact that their team mates were covering for them. In the first half, it looked like they didn't trust one another enough. We looked the better for Babayaro in there. He's not the greatest, but he's better than a teenage centre back.

Guest tobiazvanderziaz Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Maybe baba isnt world class when defending but when I has got the ball he is very composed and almost everytime pass the ball to a Newcastle player unless Huntington or Ramage who give it away often with a long ball. Baba is our only natural left back but an average one of them, but until we get a new LB in I will support him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Aye, I agree with the majority on this one: Baba ain't the best but he's certainly better than what we have had replacing him on the left wing up to now. Just the fact that he can pass the ball with his left foot gives him much more options and he CAN pass a ball instead of give it away to opposition players....

Gallowgate End Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ratings Harper - 6.5 - At fault for the goal, looked ok no way near the level of Shay Given un surprisingly. Taylor - 7 - out of position as a right back but dominant throughout in the air. Onyewu - 8.5 - superb performance on his home debut, everything in his zone he was dominant in the air and in the tackle. Bramble - 5.5 - got sucked out way too often and left the space for Bellamy to run into on numerous occasions. Babayaro - 7 - decent return however he needs his match fitness back. Nobby - 7.5 - same old Nobby neat and tidy and when there is a forward runner he picked him out. Butt - 6.5 - not at his usual, got far too tight therefore rolled over and over again. Parker - 9 - Colossal absolutely colossal overshadowed both Gerrard and Sissoko and was our most important and best player, not only did he win back the ball he used the ball fantastically spreading the play rather then his usual 10 yard and backwards passing. Milner - 7 - workhorse performance but lacked the delivery in this game. Dyer - 7 - caused Agger plenty of problems particularly first half with his movement and put Oba through for the goal. Martins - 7 - plenty of running and showing for the ball at key times but lacked service. (scored) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived near Leeds for 7 years and saw him play for them on the left so I expect I saw him well before you did, he did ok but he will always be limited on the left. He also played up front for them throughout most of his youth days, but he's not a natural striker either. Be mature about it and do the right thing then it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. Somehow I doubt you will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
