Park Life 71 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thankfully we got the points today, yet I couldn't understand why we reverted back to 4-4-2. I was having a moan about it in the match thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4824 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Pants first half but a definite improvement second half with the introduction of Ferguson. Regardless what some say on here, he always looks direct and dangerous when he gets the ball and virtually everything he did was applauded by the gallowgate. I don't understand your hatred for Jonas, when Ferguson offers pretty much exactly the same. Lots of industry and work from out wide. Cant really be arsed to debate this yet again. Its widely accepted that Jonas splits the fans. His work rate and defensive duties have been the highlight for him this season not his creative prowess. All I have ever gone on about this season was the lack of creativity from the wings. I said back in August that we needed the right personnel playing a 433 to make a difference. Since we have switched to this we have been a team transformed. Very few would want to go back to a 442 with Jonas on the left wing. Fergusone for me is a lot more direct when he gets the ball and a lot more clever on the ball. ie, he will pass it off quickly rather than fannying on out by the touchline. (Jonas trademark) I am not saying he is by any means the finished article or that he will "do it" here, but he certainly gives us that little spark on the wing from time to time. I think you and others have to accept that his ever growing presence on the bench and on the pitch show that he is well thought off by all around him at NUFC.

Park Life 71 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 IMO the front 3 operate freer and better in the 433 with the added bonus of Hatem picking up the ball often higher up the pitch where it hurts the opp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Jonny called the crowd perfectly today - we weren't 4-0 up after 20 minutes so it was constant groaning and cries of ''he's fucking shite'' to any player who didn't get everything 100% spot on everytime. People seemed genuinely surprised that Bolton turned up, It was always going to be a battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any young player who shows promise the crowd are fond of him & want him to do well but most people's appreciation of Ferguson is proportionate. He looks okay, still a bit weak but not a liability. His crossing doesn't seem to be great mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He is basically a small Jonas with more enthusiasm and pace. Running up and down the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7485 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 He came on and added some enthusiasm and attacking impetus. Nothing more nothing less. Didn't change the game but was a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 goal.com's assessment of Ryan Taylor's performance: Ryan Taylor 5.0 He was only sent on to give Ben Arfa a standing ovation. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The talk last night was whether or not Ben Arfa's goal was better than the one against Blackburn in the cup. The lads who weren't at that game almost had those of us that were convinced. It was from his own half, not against a B team rolled out for the cup, the turn at the start etc. But watching that Blackburn goal again just now...i think it pisses on yesterday. Both were better than Crouch mind, and i still think the streak of piss will win goal of the season just because he's a gangly fucker you wouldn't expect to pull it off.

Think the Blackburn goal was better, but watching yesterdays goal last night its just not the same on the Telly as real life. Also, he makes it look so easy with that acceleration and movement of feet. At one point I wondered if his brain actually knew what his legs were doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hey CT am sure I saw you yesterday like, black coat on? Benny's goal will stay in my memory for ever "oleee, go on son, gooo on, pass, fuckin pass, goo on, ah hes fucked it, pass, keepers ganna get it, GEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDIN!!!!" Can't believe there's people on twitter saying he's still a luxury, he's a necessity not a luxury, our best player is playing his best, if it's effecting Ba I simply don't care. Woeful up to the goal though, very much like the Wigan home game, still we can really start dreaming now. Real Madrid would be my dream game, I'd love to go to the Bernabeu with 10,000 toon fans.

Could have been, I had a black waterproof golf jacket on. Gave up my normal seat in the Leazes for our lass so I was in the gallowgate. Where did you see me? Description of the goal is spot on.
