Crumpy Gunt Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looked top heavy. Owen claims he's put on a stone with gym work and Shola looks like he's 2 stone over. Can't be good especially for Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest graemeh72 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I thought he looked as if he'd filled out. That will be his body developing as well, but if he can use his weight and strength to hold the ball up then it can only be a good thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looked top heavy. Owen claims he's put on a stone with gym work and Shola looks like he's 2 stone over. Can't be good especially for Shola. I said to Midds something about him looked different, I think he looked fairly good last night though. Got a few offside decisions wrong but showed he knew the space he should be attacking and got in a good position to score just headed at the keeper. Was similar to the way Owen was playing off the last man a lot in the first half. Bit optimistic but I am hoping he is learning this sort of thing with Owen in training.

Slugsy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Clearly he hasn't been trying to improve on his heading ability while he has been away, my gran could win more headers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'm not particularly a fan of Ameobi but when all three of them were on last night I thought Ameobi probably looked the better. Hardly suprising though since Owen had already played 60 minutes and Martins was isolated wide right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 He was hard done to by the referee a few times when he came on. He didn't foul anyone but had a good few free kicks given for pressurising defenders. Decent movement but certainly looked stronger. No point passing judgement on Owen or Shola until next season. I don't care what anyone says all the training and behind closed doors games count for nothing at the top level. They need games and hopefully easing them back in now at the end of the season will set them up for the new campaign next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looked top heavy. Owen claims he's put on a stone with gym work and Shola looks like he's 2 stone over. Can't be good especially for Shola. Both good things. Doesnt need spelling out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 His first touch was shit, he looked lacking in confidence but the only upside was that he looked stronger then before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tobiazvanderziaz Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 His first touch was s***, he looked lacking in confidence but the only upside was that he looked stronger then before Not surprisingly he wasnt sharp because he miss match practise but it will come, but to say he is lacking confidence is wrong IMO.

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 anyone remember his stupid, pointless dive when he was 1 on 1 with the keeper? luckily for him he was offside or he would have been booked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 His first touch was shit, he looked lacking in confidence but the only upside was that he looked stronger then before He brought the ball done very well just before the "dive". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniffer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Right. Carrying around a couple of stone should really give him more pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he seemed afraid to take a man on, and since he came on he never really looked like a confident forward, then again it might be the fact that he is lacking match practise.

Cajun Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Right. Carrying around a couple of stone should really give him more pace. He has never been about pace though has he? He is best bullying defenders and (trying) to use his size. An extra couple of stone in muscle is only going to improve this imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, the only thing that can be said is that it's great to see them both back. I think if they get the service next season we will have a strike force to be reckoned with including Owen, Martins, Ameobi & Carroll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Heeds the ball like he's just come out a neck brace, remember seeing Nobby one time demonstrating to him how to do it by agressively heading an imaginary ball after one of his piss weak efforts.
