Martin was MOM - he had a brilliant game.
Man of the match for me today best game for the club & this is from someone who is very critical of him.
(I still panicked when it looked like he was going to fly into a challenge In the the area in the 2nd half!)
Still say £1 million was one of our best transfer deals ever, side pass after side pass, he should have been punished today with those pass backs.... he also has no ability to play a through ball.

I agree.Martin was MOM - he had a brilliant game.
Utter bollocks. Did you fall asleep during the second half or something? He probably played some of our best offensive balls today.
To be honest i have no prior knowledge of the guy, but your verdict doesn't sound to promising. The reports i have read said Sounders offered him a new contract and he was good a box to box player. Obviously reading an article is not the same as watching the man play! On this occasion i do hope you are wrong
Yes. Phillips did well,especially as the game wore on. Once he had got the handle of him, he certainly got the better of their left midfielder.
Normally, yes, but not today. I have been critical of him, but today I thought was his best game for some time.First half Phillips was not too great. Whenever the ball is in the air he gets muscled off it far too easily. With the ball on the ground he does much better. Not sure if he has much more beefing out to do, but he is a liability for me.

Phillips is quite stocky I think. I did shit myself when he went runnign into the box with the striker thinking he would give a pen away!
Pretty sure he doesn't like giving free kicks and penalties to be honest.That is his problem, he likes to go storming in giving away freekicks and even penalties. He has talent and certainly works hard for the team, just needs to be a bit more sensible.
He was really poor. Even by his standards.
Bigi was good today. Lot of talent there
Did you not complement him during the game?
How do you know there is not any championship clubs interested in him?Why are Newcastle desperate to get rid then and why are no championship clubs interested?

Dont think he has to go anywhere he doedmt want to and now u seem to know how much he earns and what % of that we are paying.Because Newcastle would make him go there as there would be more chance of matching his wages. As things stand he's going to be costing them a lot of money.

And this site is 100% correct?He earns £19k a week according to a site that shows Newcastle player earnings.

He had some good moments but also enough moments that put the fear of God into me particularly near the back, like the backpass to RCC that was almost an attempt to lob him. Fleck dropped a bollock when he gave the ball away at the back in that game but I'd feel way more comfortable if he was in the same positions Bigi was in today. I'd happily take back permanently but fingers in the ears and lalalalalalaing any criticism of him doesn't get a forum very far.
