MattM4 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 A mate last night asked me: "So who takes the freekick for Newcastle this season?" ... And I didn't really know what to say. Solano I guess. With Emre or Zoggy also being able to step up to the plate. But have there been any examples during this campaign? I can't recall any.

MattM4 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 nope that was definitely open play. Had a look through the fixtures, and nope haven't been any it seems. Nobby better get his arse into gear sharpish!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg 6 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Just gone through each match report on Nufc.com, yes I'm that bored... And we have not scored a single goal direct from a free kick this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg 6 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 With Emre, Solano and Milner and even N'Zogbia it is shocking we have not scored from a free kick yet this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 With Emre, Solano and Milner and even N'Zogbia it is shocking we have not scored from a free kick yet this season. Emre's free kicks have been nothing short of shocking, he barely hits the fucking target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emre's free kicks have been nothing short of shocking, he barely hits the fucking target. But he has the ability. I'll never forget his free kick against Sunderland.

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Last direct free-kick we scored from was Nobby's against Bolton, nearly a year ago. Disgraceful. His free-kicks have been terrible this season as they always hit the wall. They look too tame anyway to trouble the goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.../\......\o/... 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Wouldn't mind seeing Martins take some of the more closer in-direct free kicks like Shearer use to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Milner's against Birmingham was SO fucking close. He takes a good one tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Wouldn't mind seeing Martins take some of the more closer in-direct free kicks like Shearer use to. I thought that too. Zog could do those as well surely. They both have powerful left boots and know where the target is. Think Zog nearly scored a quality drive from about 30 yards in the InterToto Cup, only for Shola to score from the follow-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19737 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Wouldn't mind seeing Martins take some of the more closer in-direct free kicks like Shearer use to. not a bad shout. a close range blaster from the edge of the box is usually a better bet than a curler.

Isegrim 8868 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Bring back Robert tbh People (especially Grimbo) moaned about Robert's poor service from set pieces. Robert indeed wasted a lot, but a certain amount of them where absolutely fantastic. That's much, much more than what we get to see nowadays...

A large part of the success under Robson (for me) was having quality delivery at set-pieces from either side when we had Robert and Solano in the team.
