Isegrim 8870 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 P.S. was absolutely loving the close-ups of Sam on the touchline in the 2nd half. Comfortably leading the game and with a close-up and mic in range Sam looks like Satan incarnate shouting, ''IT'S OUR FUCKING BALL!!!'' What was this reaction to Butt's booking (for what btw) all about? I'd like to have a caption competition from this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ..............''im not sure newcastle have played all that well to be honest'' Yer not alone in thinking that. I was expecting a far better game from both teams and at best the Lads put in a lot of effort, scored goals, and got the win we dearly wanted but didn't look anywhere near a team that could compete with the top four.

We'll not really find out until we play some top 4 teams but I do think we've got a side that can grind results out against them. We're never going to go and hammer teams because it doesn't seem like Sam's style. Currently we just seem to be concentrating on getting the job done - nothing flashy. If it keeps us in the points that's fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Beye was a bit iffy, truth be told. Emre was poor too. Martins was actually doing alright, movement-wise. Fair play. Outshone Owen today. (nb. I'd still rather have Owen) Edited October 22, 2007 by Patrokles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sams just been on TV saying he is going to work on the defence as the goal we conceded was unacceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Butt and Faye the unsung hero's for me. Cacapa looking better every game, shame about Emre done about as much tonight as he's done since we signed him....SFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8870 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Beye was a bit iffy, truth be told. Emre was poor too. I really thought this might be a game for Emre tonight. But he pretty much went into hiding for large parts of the game. Normally he at least does look very busy. Martins was actually doing alright, movement-wise. Fair play. Outshone Owen today. (nb. I'd still rather have Owen) Martins did ok. He looked more willing to make anticipatory runs instead of just reacting to things (or the pan shots were not quick enough from Enrique's long balls). I thought Owen did actually still quite well in his link up play. Due to the lack of any creative ideas from central midfield he had to drop deep far too often, but when he did he spread the ball well. I can't remember that he actually lost a ball.

MattM4 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sure he's been metioned at some point in the thread... but how about Jenas tonight!! Hilarious game from him. Couldnt believe Jol took off Malbranque and not that donkey. Good for us though, Jenas' passing was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RlCO 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 If Emre can't offer anything with 70% possession, what use is he? We already know he offers nothing when coming on while we are under the cosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Up yours, Spurs Fantastic result and credit to Big Sam, when was the last time we had four decent central defenders competing for two places? Caçapa and Faye both did well. Was N'Zogbia injured or was it a tactical substitution? I thought he did okay in the first half, but what with Milner scoring a great goal, Allardyce must think he got that substitution right. Jenas was simply poor, hilarious!

We already know he offers nothing when coming on while we are under the cosh. He did get his second assist in his last 2 games with a pinpoint corner, slowed down after he injured his calf but still played a big part in our ball retention.

I thought he did okay in the first half, but what with Milner scoring a great goal They said it was a tactical change on the telly. Was a very strange one though. Zoggy wasnt great ub tge first half, but I certainly thought he starting to get involved more and more into the game. In overall play Milner was poor, he simply isnt in his element on the left. As Isegrim said though he made in some style with that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen should have done better with his one on one chance, before his knee injury he would have taken that on to make a better angle for himself but now his pace is all but gone he's forced to shoot early, he had similar efforts against Barnsley and Wigan but I was hoping that was down to lack of fitness, unfortunately that's not the case.

Don't know, a bit of an over-interpretation imho. He could have done better with the chance, but I wouldn't really single it out for criticism as he (nearly) did everything right with it.
