111180sak 4 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 facundo ferreyra, We got him on loan from Shaktar Donetsk. Never even made the bench. Not because of a fitness problem. Went back to Ukraine and was quality then moved to Spain I think. Link to post Share on other sites

David Kelly 439 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 On 08/01/2021 at 15:13, The Fish said: Would you feel the same if he'd cost £40m? Well yes because Joelinton has had the benefit of the doubt from me for a long time. I'd been told since before he played for us that he wasn't a striker and it was painfully obvious he was being played out of position. I also knew Bruce was fucking useless before he arrived and again that's been painfully obvious. So I've been prepared to stand up for Joelinton but he's now not being used so much as a striker and he still looks hopelessly average at best. I'm still holding back a little bit because Bruce has clearly fucked his confidence, but he's showing so little it's hard to believe he'll ever turn out to be a premiership standard footballer. So on that basis I think I would have given Lewis time regardless of what he cost also. He's been very disapointing so far though. Mind I thought he looked very promising on his debut against West Ham so there's potentially a player there once he's deprogrammed from Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis likes to get close to his man if it’s well up the pitch.Unfortunately when danger is coming our way he quickly( cowardly) tucks in next to the central defenders where he’s weak as piss.This also gives the opposition the option of playing it wide to the player he should be marking .He can never get across to stop the centre coming in,which I believe is his plan.A lot of cowardice needs to be eradicated from his game and pretty quickly.

Gman 28 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 On the topic of Fumaca, there's a funny article on thefalsenine, my favourite quote being: "Aside from a 4-1 FA Cup Fourth Round victory over Sheffield United - in which the Brazilian ran in the opposite direction of the ball for the sum total of four minutes" big Joe has his issues but at least it's not that bad. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 5,921 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I think that was the match when Shearer was shouting to the bench something like “get him off! He’s shite” about two minutes after Fumaca came on as sub 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I was playing Under 10s football at the time and I reckon I'd have been a better shout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's harsh given he's only been in the country for, what, 18 months? And he's played his entire Newcastle career under the tutelage of a sentient compost heap. A bit late with the reply but wasn’t there one of them on Fraggle Rock? To be honest, I’d take her, Sprocket or (for that matter) Fulton McKay, over Bruce at the minute 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
