PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted July 24, 2010 [quote user="scrimmage"]Ameobi looks a bit large[/quote]Possibly, but - large or not - nowhere near offside! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 24, 2010 The offside player was Nile Ranger not Ameobi. Shola was only in the building (or on the pitch at least) for the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted July 25, 2010 Can anyone identify our defender who was turned (too easily) by Amoebi (and this time it WAS Ameobi!) for the Newcastle goal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyLo 0 Posted July 25, 2010 [quote user="PurpleCanary"]Can anyone identify our defender who was turned (too easily) by Amoebi (and this time it WAS Ameobi!) for the Newcastle goal?[/quote]hisIt was Elliot Ward. He was visibly disappointed with himself after that. Went down to his knees, with his head in his hands! Yes, he was turned way too easily. Ameobi barely moved to get in front of him, which was more concerning. However, it was a friendly and the rest of Ward''s play looked reasonably good. Reads the game well and can pass the ball out from the back effectively. I''m sure when he''s back up to full speed he''ll be a big player for us. Anyhow, it was a good run out for him. Think he played about 60-70 minutes which will help with his match sharpness for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
