Can We Expect More From Obertan?

01 November 2011 11:34
Gabriel Obertan is said to be "like shit off a stick" over 100 meters, but is there more to come from the former Man Utd winger?

His pass for the first goal on Monday night was something a striker dreams of. It only needed a connection, and it got one from Demba Ba.

But he goes missing so often in games, and he is usually the player a lot of Toon fans call to see replaced late in the game because he seems to run out of steam.

Obertan believes that the fear factor can drive Newcastle United on to great things this season, and when he says "every player should work harder" perhaps he should listen to his own words.

Gabriel Obertan: “Everybody has to be at their best in this team.

"There’s a bit of competition now. I knew the group here and I knew there was quality.

“We’re in a good position, and everybody wants to play.

“All this adds up. We deserve to be where we are now.

“We need to keep working hard and try to stay in the team. Nobody wants to miss out.

“It’s all about the team. The spirit we have shown since the beginning of the season is just great.

“We want to keep going on that run.”
