Chopra
Shows Them The Way!
While Newcastle have been struggling to convert
their chances into goals of late, unwanted Toon striker Michael Chopra
is enjoying a purple patch - grabbing his second hat-trick of the
season for Barnsley yesterday as the Tykes beat fellow Yorkshire side
Huddersfield 4-2.
The Gosforth born striker now has 11 goals in 22 games for Barnsley,
making it a remarkable turn around for the 21-year old who was booed
and jeered in his first few games at Oakwell.
Whether his goalscoring exploits are being monitored by Souness &
Co. remains to be seen and with his contract running out at the end
of the season, it also remains to be seen whether he'll be back at
United. Well played!
Match
Reaction From Souness
"I think in the fist half we should
have had more than two goals. Some of our football in the first
half was excellent and then they have got a goal and got back
in the game.
"In the second half we had chances again but got nervous in
the last ten minutes and but for a stop by Steven Taylor they
would have got something from the game which would have been
hard on us.
"They have battled hard and not given up, at 2-1 you would expect
that, but we have got to score more goals from the opportunities
we create because we created lots of chances.
"It is an important three points today as we face Arsenal next
week, but we can take some confidence as our football was excellent."
Souness on Shearer:
"He said he felt fine and knows his own body. He gave us a good
hour and looked good for an hour. Alan will be pleased with
that." |
