Guest Patrokles Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Not a bad game, I think we can learn some lessons from it. Plus Points. Smith`s attitude and all round play capped by a goal, Kieron who?? Rozey looks solid, he can head and put in a tackle Taylor did ok, no thanks to Fatty Carr Butt looked solid Geremi has been my man of pre-season(except his free kicks) The smiling Enrique in the stands looking to sign tonight BS on his mobile for 90 mins, hopefully arranging more transfers Zoggy when played left side mid Minus Points Zoggy at LB Carr still at RB Martins cannot play on the right, still has no first touch and cant score from 1 yard, £14m Mr Wenger? Ameobi should be flogged now if we are seriously going for top six Lack of LB Injury to Shay Luque not getting on Overall we looked good, won and kept a clean sheet. If BS is going 4-3-3 next week I hope Oba`s not on the right, he looked shite there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I thought Martins was busy and gave it 100% bit unlucky at times like. Shola seemed to get off on the right foot, winning alot in the air then 10mins in he looked knackered and went back to his usual self. Preferred Smith in midfield compared to upfront and was good with him and Geremi. Agree that Rozenhal looks nice and composed, tidy player. Any idea why given went off though? Martins was awful, I thought. Also I think today shows that we need to be lining up with Cacapa and Rozenhal over Taylor, as much for the fact that his distribution is piss-poor as anything. He just hoofs it long every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Smith, Geremi and Rozehnal all very impressive. Looking good! Quoted for truth !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMag 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I would imagine it will be a couple of weeks before we see Cacapa, he's not fit yet, not overly worried though, Tayls might have his faults but he's certainly not a name I would fret at seeing in the starting line up. Agree Oba was poor today, usual poor touch, but maybe it was to do with being shifted out to the right. As for Beresford on commentary - NO THANKS!

MattM4 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was reg'd on there a while ago, thought they got stopped from making torrents of games? They definitely got raided at some point... and the userbase was deleted I guess. Don't know what happened after that, as it was impossible to register. All of a sudden last week you could sign up again, weird. I guess they have just decided to ignore any warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm loving the look of Smith in a Newcastle shirt. Dare I say it he reminds me (particularly when he got back to the centre circle and was encouraging the others) very much of a certain welshman who used to play for us... The fella is better though IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fella is better though IMO Ian Rush? Was good to see a player fired up for a friendly though! Looked like he shouted "Get the fucking ball back" or something like that, but anyway he looked well up for it. His language was apalling throughout! I think he might have been saying something like 'great fucking ball!' after the goal, though. Edited August 5, 2007 by Patrokles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Though Viduka wasn't great, and was outshone by Smith today, it was good to have a forward with some strength controlling the ball with a touch, holding onto it and laying it off. He is fat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontoasey 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Not a bad display today, great goal by Smith, fully deserved his mom, although rozenthal pushed him close, clean sheet as well, only downer was Given getting injures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gram 0 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Dull game. The 'ultras' were an embarrassment. Sounded like the back of a school bus. Milner was poor. Geremi was very good. Rozehnal looks decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
