Big Geordie Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well - that was overall poor from what I saw. A lack of pace, which whilst I know being a friendly isn't a major one, but still. Very poor delivery from either flank and zero presence up front. Smith and Ameobi can't leave the club quick enough for me - the former just simply isn't good enough. Was impressed with Guthrie and Jonas, but overall we still need plenty work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucampe Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Officially there’s no limit on the length of a ban they could impose.

Very similar except that case didn't result in legal action and Barton's got an even worse reputation. 10 game minimum I'd imagine, 15 isn't unthinkable.

Big Geordie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Anyone share my misfortune to sit through that? At least I was working, but still. Was a poor performance overall - again lacking any creativity, chances, guile and pace. Duff and Bassong probably stood out, but the rest - not even average. Alan Smith again shocking and he's now gone 3 games without so much as a shot/header on goal. Get rid because he offers nothing to the side, apart from being overpaid backup. I know it's only a friendly and we are still missing faces - but KK has a job on. A playmaker is a must, for me otherwise we are going to struggle to breakdown even average sides. Play like that against the Mancs in two weeks time, and we'll get scuttled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 4, 2008 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah I watched it, was pretty tempted to turn it off after 20 mins, but unfortunately sat through the whole lot. Agree that Duff looked sharp though never really wanted to pass the ball (in fairness in his situation I wouldn't have wanted to pass to the awfulness around him) and Bassong looked half decent. Can't really blame Harper for the goal either though and other than that he wasn't tested. Particularly awful performances for the utterly dreadful Smith, overawed (in a friendly?!) Edgar and the slowly getting worse Milner. The rest just looked tired or were played out of position (through no fault of Keegan's, we had fook all players). All in all our pre-season has been a pretty much waste of time due to the fact we've had no quality at all up front - just the wasters Smith and Shola. Hopefully everyone is as fit as they keep saying in the press because other than that there isn't really much else to look forward to. Looking at our centre-mids we really do need someone with a bit of quality and spark, no-one there strikes me as a player who can unlock defences.

Bigwig Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Was writing a long drawn out essay but got fed up and deleted it so thought I’d provide the executive summary: None of our centre half pairings are good enough We need cover for both full back positions Most of our central midfielders are squad players and not good enough to be a regular starter We’re desperate for someone creative in the middle of the pitch We’re desperate for someone who can take a decent set piece Despite having 6 centre forwards, they’re either injury prone or not good enough We have no shape in the side whatsoever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 As .com have pointed out - makes you wonder if Martins and/or Owen will be fit for the PSV and Valencia games. If not - could be a long and ultimately wasted 180mins of football for those who go. I won't be one of them - suffice to say. Last night was turgid at best - like if was on Friday night. KK must be tearing his hair out. It's one thing that some players aren't good enough - but so many going through the motions is something else altogether. :thdn:You'd think squad players would be busting a gut to impress.

Big Geordie Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 very good point. didn't think of that I'd be surprised if we bring in another CB, once Coliccini has signed on. A playmaker and another striker are still of paramount importance (keep repeating myself) :o Anyone going tonight? I'm not, but hoping to tune in on Radio Newcastle if they are providing coverage. Think we might struggle to get 20K through the gate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It’s a bit hard to justify bringing in another striker when we’ve got Owen, Martins, Viduka, Smith, Carroll and Ameobi all on the books. Not saying that we don’t need one, but we probably need to shift some of the deadwood before we can bring in replacements. I’d still at the very least make enquiries about Cuellar. Rangers are supposedly going to miss out on £10-12m this season so they might look at ways of recouping that, depending on how well they’ve planned financially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 6, 2008 Administrators Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'd agree we're relatively fine for strikers, in an ideal world we'd shift Shola and Smith and maybe think about investing that money back in on a back-up for Vids - but then if we did that Carroll would never get his shot. Playmaker we do need, our CM's really don't look up to scratch and a lot will depend on whatever system we end up playing this season. Cuellar would be an outstanding signing judging by his form for Rangers last year - but again we do seemingly have a lot of CB's on the books right now - Faye, Bassong, Taylor, Cacapa, Edgar not to mention Beye can fill in and (fingers crossed) Coloccini is on his way. (That isn't to say these CB's are that great, it's just if we only have so much money to spend, we do need to get cover for 'thin' areas.) Would love to get Keegan, Wise and co in a room right now just to find out what targets we had that we've missed, who we're still in for and reasons why.
