Bits of players games that need working on.

Obertan: Will someone shoot him in the ar*e with a dart everytime he needlessly steps over the ball BEFORE taking a player on.....it's unnecessary ( err and reminding him the ball explodes after 30 seconds of fannying on it).

Perch: Improve your distribution and stop expecting Simmo to keep saving your ass..

Simmo: Learn to jump.

Raylor: If your going to play in defence , watch a ton of videos from Arsenal/Manure of bygone days to learn where to stand .

Shola: Call your agent. Taxi!

HBA: Get some dirt on AP and get on for every game.....

Gosling: Learn to shoot if your going to leg it into the box.....

 

Jonas you are a winger not a Left Back get forward attack the opposition fullback.

 

No kidding, what happened to the player who was showing attacking confidence early in the year?! E.g. against Wolves

 

Spot on.

Jonas - take the ball past players with ease like you did last year

 

Again, what's with the Shola hatred?

 

I could see Jonas and Santon making a good partnership. Neither are amazing defensive wise, but they can both support each other.

 

fixed

 

Agreed. Without question it was having to cover for Raylor so often that has Jonas playing on the back-foot again, but he needs to kick the habit and become a tenacious attacking pony-tailed force again!

 

Yeah I've been disappointed with Jonas recently, hasn't really got forward as much as I'd like.

 

Raylor: remember how to put in a decent delivery/set piece

 

Smith: everything

 

Perch: Watch Colloccini, then do as he does.

 

Smith: Gat a haircut. It's not as if you don't have enough time or money.

 

And also who on earth was he passing the ball to for their 2nd (or 3rd) goal .. absolutely pathetic performance

Remember that he has to be more defensive because he's normally playing on the left with a less than inept LB .. Hes clearly just got used to this and may of been asked to play more defensive today to help protect another right footed LB with no premier league experience.

 

Kadar - find another club despite a CB crisis you couldn't even make the bench and you're an international as well,good luck for the future

 

TBF Shola puts a shift in but in my view Ba needs HBA or Best to get most out of his style of play.

 

Krul: Needs to work on his kicking - he can't always throw the ball out. Kicking-wise his distribution is a major flaw, often putting it out of play.

Simmo: Needs to understand that he's not a winger but a full back. I understand the concept of wing backs and getting defenders up, but often when I look and see a number 5 running up there with Ba I think who the **** is that? Simpson? Isn't he a defender. Also needs to learn how to challenge aerially, can't always rely on Taylorcini for that.

Perch (and Simmo again): Learn to mark your ****ing players, Perch went missing for Drogba's last week, Simpson for Rodwell's against Everton and both of them against Norwich for one of Holt's headers.

Gosling: Track back and learn how to defend. You push up like a striker, love taking Cabaye-esque long shots but your attacking threat is often nullified by most defences. We have Ben Arfa, Ober and Jonas for that - defend. Please.

Raylor: couldn't fault him that much today, he did alright. But is still really a utility player.

Ba: Don't ever leave us - got the makings of a Golden Boot striker in the Prem, Pulis would be ****ting himself in frustration.

Ober: Has the quality to be very good. Just mentally not there - needs to balls up, take men on and score goals/assists. Could improve his defending, but you can't fault him for not trying - he really makes the effort to get back and sometimes puts in a good tackle.

 

The weight of captaincy might have rested too heavy on his shoulders today.

Not the best of days at all for anybody and a real **** day for me in more than one way, not helped by the NUFC Box Office. If it hadn't been for the helpfulness of the Norwich Stewards (thanks guys and gal)I might have missed the game altogether. Not that it would have been such a bad thing I suppose.

Had a bad journey down to Norwich and after taking my seat up I was told by a woman that I was in her seat, I showed her my ticket showing J17 and she showed me hers, also showing J17. After a little scrutiny and the stewards taking the ticket away to find out how the error occurred, it turned out that NUFC had somehow sent me a ticket for last seasons pre match friendly. Ended up sitting level with the goal line and Krul definitely took the ball after it had crossed the line and didn't carry it over the line with him. Another blunder by the officials costing us dearly.

Can't take anything away from Norwich though as they definitely deserved to win.

 

Shola set up a goal for Ba today, I'd say he helped Ba's game .. Really couldnt see Benny making a tackle there

 

This hope he goes on to be world class
