Onouha

[Stanley]

So beacuse he is not a RB that means he loses the ability to pass it to a team mate? Basic ball control.

In his case yes, bizarrely.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Spot on Myu and Onuoha is also very much a confidence player. It would not surprise me if he handed in a transfer request quite soon.

Wont be missed i dont reckon, let swp, hoilett and phillips and traroe all join him as well.

Who did pick a correct pass today no pun, but not many...

Edit; AND read what Stanley replied on the matter::]] He is correct,imo.

A lot more than Nedum. Worst player on the pitch by a mile. But it cant be stressed enough - he is not a RB.

[Shania]

I do agree,Stanley. I watched the match now on Norwegian telly.

He's not, and that's why we need cover at RB in January.

People were going absolutely crazynwhwn he couldnt get in the team, he was deemed our saviour by so many on here. Never got that to be honest.

Onuoha is a brilliant centre back, Isla started shocking so someone had to come in at the time. Isla seems to have better himself

If Onouha was a brilliant CB he would of started every game for the last 2 years.

Thank god none of us are manager as we would have no centre backs left:

Dunne was apparently finished after Spurs
Rio should never play again
Caulker was awful against Villa/City
Onuoha hasn't played many 90 minutes and is played out of position at RB and has no one running the channels up front. The only pass he has on is to lump it up front or go back 60 yards to Green


Please lets stop the panicking as you can't play at the top level all season.

Ned was/is one of our best players defensively, but like a fish out of water at RB hopefully he may play CB. Now Dunne is suspended rather than Rio needs to be played in the right position

[Stanley]

Firstly that's not true because he made plenty of attempted sideways and diagonal passes that were either easily intercepted or landed straight at a Newcastle player's feet.

Secondly there's no excuse for a pro footballer to constantly make misplaced passes and concede possession the amount of times he did yesterday.

Anyway its nothing new as he has never played well at RB but its not his fault he is picked and played in the wrong position. What I will say in his defence is his tackling has always been good and he has strength and pace, however his distribution is absolutely dire (when played at RB).

Its neither panicking nor trying to play manager, but just basic observations that anyone could see. Perhaps you need to watch the game back.

[SuperHoopNik]

He is a centre back, and a very good one for us. One bad performance in the wrong position and he's "overrated"...

[Tarbie]

No suprises there really.......good centre half but a poor full back. We've known that for years though, haven't we?!!

[LoftusRoadLad]

Just goes to show we need proper cover for Isla.

[Nick]

Im probably Neds biggest fan so this isnt me trying to dig him out. But Ive just watched their goal back properly and there was only 1 person to blame for it and that was Ned.... His passing was woeful and in general just didnt look comfortable. But to be fair he wasnt playing in his best position (CB) and it was his 1st game back in a while... If we're going to jump on him for his passing in this game then players like Hoilett and Phillips need to be sold ASAP as they constantly miss passes but yet have so many chances. For me Im putting this down to a bad day at at office for the big man. Also just shows that we need a RB cover for Isla in January as Ned is a CB.
