Really i thought r.taylor was doing that..apols..but play colback at left back must be the same as playing sterling as wingback..he has so much offensive qualities

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Colback only played the Sunderland game at left back, every other game he's been in midfield.

 

[Alan]

Alan was wrong

*goes to change sig*

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Liverpool can win this by as many as they want. Newcastle United are in disarray.

 

[Alan]

Amazing how just changing a manager can make a group of professional footballers completely forget the basic principles of the game.

 

[Freddeno]

*goes to change sig*

Hehe

 

[Alan]

Ibe has "Serge Gnabry" written all over him, I think.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They've got bad injuries at the moment as well, plus Coloccini and Cisse being banned for their own stupidity, and Ashley's policy of slashing the squad numbers to an absolute minimum in January so long as it looks like they're safe for another year is coming home to roost.

It must be a truly depressing experience to be a Newcastle fan under his stewardship, absolutely no ambition beyond just about staying in the top flight and making sure Sports Direct's brand exposure remains as high as possible. Don't get attached to anyone who turns out to be half decent because they'll get sold. Watch every season fizzle out before the Christmas decorations have come down. Just horrible.

Even if they bring in someone like Garde, Tuchel or Gourvennec who would seem to be progressive appointments (I'd rather have Terry Connor than John Carver, seriously) they're always going to be hampered from above.

How the fuck is that not a penalty for Newcastle?

 

[Alan]

How the $#@! is that not a penalty for Newcastle?

#Liverpool

 

[Freddeno]

Liverpool really has a shitty defence

 

[Freddeno]

How did sterling miss that???!

 

[Alan]

Wow.

 

[Freddeno]

Isnt ryan taylor normally a left back..why is he playing right back? Nobody better there since simpson left?

 

[Alan]

Good finish from Allen but again Newcastle are just shambolic.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Taylor is naturally right sided, he can fill in on the left but he has played most of his football either at right back or on the right of midfield. Simpson left two or three years ago, Janmaat is normally the right back but he's having to fill in at centre half as Coloccini got himself sent off at Everton, they sold Yanga-Mbiwa and Steven Taylor is out for the season.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Taylor is primarily right footed I think, does seem to have spent a lot of his career stuck out at left back though.

 

[Alan]

Still can't believe Mapou flopped so hard in England. He was exceptional in Montpellier's title season. Being played at left back surely didn't help but still.

 

[Freddeno]

My mistake then..always thought he was left footed..he has been injured so many years now just like his name steven taylor..

 

[Freddeno]

Couldnt colback be a target for bigger clubs in the prem..guess he has a long contract now when switching from sunlun..he really has some nice qualities, just play for a shit team atm
