SteveMc Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He is not infallible. He us not without mistake His defensive qualities and distribution will come under far more scrutiny. He is revered in these parts because of what we have had to put up with with babayaro ramage nzogbia at left back, and the fact that he has been a notable improvement. How many assists has he actually got? I would say less than ekkotto baines etc If we get a good fee and an adequate replacement I won't be dissappointed Same here. His pace and strength are real virtues defensively. However, his decision making and distribution are suspect at times. He may look better in a team with more movement around him though. Guess we'll find out next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 One of the negatives of Enrique going, which i think is a big disappointment, is his link up play and understanding with Jonas. They have a very good understanding, they know eachothers' game, and they often link up very well on the left. It will obviously take time for a replacement left back to get that understanding with Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't linking up as intuitively as they did at the start of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Liverpool fans seemed impressed with what they saw yesterday but I thought he was just OK - certainly not showing the standards he reached earlier in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Recently whenever he takes the ball forward you just know he's going to do something clumsy and lose it. Been nowhere near as good as he should bar Man United tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Maybe I'm not observant enough but I'm struggling to understand the recent avalanche of criticism Enrique's getting. He's been below par, yes, but no worse than most of our other players. But, if he is fed up, can anyone blame him? I cant (personally I'm not in the anti-Pards brigade, but I don't think its a coincidence that the squad is now unsettled and players like Jose who, under Hughton, had no desire whatsoever to leave the club, but now could have their eyes on the exit door).

Wullie Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 You can criticize his play going forward until the cows come home (it's pretty good tbh) but up against a tricky winger, there's not a full back in the league I would choose ahead of him. Defending is 90% of a full back's job and finding a good defensive one is fucking hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Might have been mentioned but there's an interview with him on Late Kick Off tonight. Saw a snippet where he's saying like "I just want to play football, I am happy in Newcastle, but would be happy too elsewhere" - whether he means he wants out though could be interpreted differently because of the language difference, i.e. he may not be fully aware how people would interpret it.
