Have accepted relegation and no doubt have their agents looking for new clubs as I type.

 

 

Thats what yesterdays performance said to me. Nolan is a disgrace, as is Duff, Ameobi and Taylor. Career ending injuries would be to good for them imo.

Duff had a good second half.

Think its harsh on Beye and Bassong the had to cover a lot of ground and still managed to get forward a bit.

 

Taylor was shite though. Butt was all right when he stay in our half.

Usually I applaud both Beye and Bassong as the only players that seem to give 100% but, I felt that Bassong look nervous on the ball and Beyes usual excellent covering and tracking back where missing, as soon as he got the ball he squirted it straight to Taylor who was having the worst game I think I've seen him in (ok he didnt go missing like Duff/Owen/Strola/Nolan, but he was just desperate)

If Nicky Butt never plays for Newcastle again I will be happy.

 

He offers nothing.

Yet he offers more than Nolan. :D

 

Nolan was utterly anonymous on Saturday, the amount of times he touched the ball must be in single figures.

 

I genuinely forget he's playing alot of the time, not just jokingly saying somebody has been anonymous when they play shite, i really do get a shock when i suddenly hear his name from the commentators!

No 'wum' here but I remember how gutted/pissed off we were when Duff chose yourselves over us. Lucky escape there.

 

I'm still waiting for the actual Damien Duff to arrive at the club and play for us, the one who played for Blackburn and Chelsea, because i don't know who the hell it is that we signed!

He's lost that bit of zip he once had after his last injury, plus I think that's really affected his confidence at running at people as well.

Definitely something wrong like you say, sometimes he doesn't even want to try going past people which when he does try it he can still do at times. At least he put the ball in for Carrolls goal on saturday though, if he continues to play shite but sets up crucial goals till the end of the season i'll be happy!

Duff's crossing has become so bad. He had so many chances to put the ball in against Chelsea and just hit the first man. He rarely tries to beat a man either anymore. As soon as we're rid of him the better.

 

RTaylor was crap again at Stoke. His set pieces were terrible. Again, against Chelsea, it felt like we'd have a chance against them on a set-piece, but he was just woeful. Nolan doesn't look fit enough to be playing Premier League football as the game just passes him by. Guthrie tries his hardest, he's just not very good. Also, whilst Butt can be shite, he's been involved in some of our better play(nice ball through to Owen -v-Chelsea, set up our goal -v-Hull).

Aye Duff won't take a man on now. I know it wasn't from an attacking position but that needless back-pass to Coloccini against Chelsea just because he couldn't deal with having a man in front of him is symptomatic of the way he rarely takes responsibility these days (not that it excuses Coloccini's fuck up mind). That back pass is fine when attacking players have retreated, but it's a bad ball when they're still on the edge of the box. Even if he's lost a bit of pace and can't go past a full-back the way he used to, that doesn't explain why he won't cut in and attack the box as he did when he was younger. Ginola was still brilliant at that into his 30s. Confidence as much as anything I imagine.
