n'zogbia's overall play and attitude

[ozzjim]

He needs time. Remember that fairy that left to go to some club near Everton that play in red. Well he was frankly a large pile of shiny shite for best part of 7 months before he got it together. Gets a couple of goals and his confidence will send him into form, think he is a quality player, BUT we need to get him higher up the pitch IMO. He seems to be getting the ball very deep and rarely being played into positions to isolate the full back.

That's true, he's a very attacking midfielder, almost an auxillary forward, even more so than Ash Young probably.  I certainly didn't expect to see him in the same team as well as 3 strikers as we have been playing,

[SoccerHQ]

I fancy him to have a good game tommorrow, maybe even score as no doubt the Geordies will give him a bit of stick and he's the sort that i can see getting fired up by the abuse.

[SoccerHQ]

As for the thread, he's been poor so far but needs time to settle. Merson, Young, Downing and Milner all needed a while to start showing their best form here remember.

[Matt C]

Going by the rules that normally apply for us when former players play against us N'Zogbia should be due a goal tomorrow.

Villa 1 - Barcodes o Nzogbia .....

[Legion]

Woeful.

[PeterWithesShin]

He really was awful today. I can think of only one decent run he made all game. Maybe he thought he still played for Newcastle the amount of times he passed to them?

[Villanation]

No evidence whatsoever the guy is up to it, how many game is he in now, and I personally haven't seen 1 glimmer of talent, we waited until about the 67minute today before he successfully went past a player, he's a wide player, attacking, what does that tell you.


ozzjim: You mean Downing, as much as this hurts to say in his defence, those 7 months, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he have a broken leg or something like that.

[Legion]

Poorly foot.

[Villanation]

Poorly foot.

aaarh, so how did that happen.......

I have to agree  with you PWS. We played with 10 men and a liability called N'Zogbia. He was truely dreadful.

[dishy]

the apologists will be out in a minute, saying he needs time to settle, screw that, he needs to grow a pair and man up, earn his over-inflated wages and stop being a pussy.

[Risso]

Another truly dreadful performance today.  I think we've spunked £10m on the basis of the half a dozen good games he had for Wigan.

That is the point, he had 1 good season at Newcastle before being sidelined in favour of Duff, then when he refused to substituted under i thin Glen Roder he was dropped from the squad altogether, then transfer listed himself.

Moody sod, petulant if he don't get his way, gets very frustrated, and won't put up with being continually taken of.
