ron Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thought newcastle no.8 was their best player........sure it was anita. USed to think he was a weak link for them any time I saw them last season on tv. But tonight i thought he was fantastic in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardley Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It was a decent game tonight, Newcastle were much quicker and stronger than us in every position which made it really difficult for us to get in behind them. Their keeper quite literally had nothing to do! I thought Ben Arfa was quality, Cisses movement was outstanding but I thought McAusland did well against him. John McGinn grew in to the game and was a class act - I wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle keep tabs on him. Thompson badly needs support up front. The lack of pace in the team is worrying I'm also concerned that we have no natural width on the left side of midfield. Harkins looks good as did Grainger.

pozbaird Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I hope Newcastle ping it about like that again, and rip the Sevco Franchise a new arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Yards Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Harkins has some classy touches and looks like he could unlock defences at spl level. I can see why his nickname is zidane, obviously nowhere near as good but very similar style where he doesn't run around much but then bursts into life. Our support need to realise that he is not going to be a box to box midfielder and not to get on his back as usual with this type of player. He may work less than some others in the team but he has the magic touch that most of the others don't have when it comes to opening up teams.

Drew Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I admit to not taking much interest in English football (never have, and don't follow the fortunes of any club dahn saaf), but some of these guys ooze class, and it was great to watch. I couldn't have picked any of them out in an ID parade, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 What game were you watching??? 300 might be more apt! Was actually quite ridiculous at one point. If i was watching the game, i widnae have saw ( copyright Wee Del ) the seagulls. Check my earlier posts for Birdie updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkins looks good as did Grainger.lack of pace is very worrying,in whole team not just going forward ,seem to want to slow everything down to walking pace ,which would be fine if we could keep possession ,but its been 3-4 passes then lump it up front for thommo to do f**k all,danny seems to have given his barca style the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=Mc2 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 We had a couple of "ladies" in the comfy seats in the main stand swearing and spouting infantile remarks.

Drew Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Someone mentioned the apparent gulf in fitness levels between the two teams tonight. I can see some strength in that argument, but the Newcastle players have a level of touch and vision that allows them to conserve their energy, while Saints were chasing shadows much of the time. Every time a NUFC player received the ball, he had an option (often more than one), and this takes pressure off. Their one touch play was 1st class, likewise their movement off the ball. When players have that level of abililty and understanding, they don't have to chase the ball in packs like a Primary 7 play-time team. All that said, the Utd players closed us down when required, and showed a great deal of commitment (albeit they rarely moved beyond 3rd gear).

We remained a provincial club from Paisley (in the shadow of the foul two headed beast of sectarianism), with a core support of about 2,800 - 3,000, and a budget that would barely cover a Newcastle reserve player's wages.
