Daryl Janmaat started his career at Newcastle very well in pre-season and in August, and then he had a dip in form which coincided with Newcastle’s bad run starting with the 4-0 defeat at Southampton, but he’s been back to some top form again, as Newcastle have lost only one of the their last nine games in all competitions.
Daryl Janmaat – made good start to his Newcastle career
In those games we have conceded only five goals, kept five clean sheets and won six of the games.
That’s a good record in anybody’s book – and this is what Daryl has said today before we take on Chelsea in three hours or so:
“I never really had any doubts.” “Of course, at the start of the season, things were not good, and there was a lot of pressure on the trainer – Pardew – and on us as players.
“That was not nice, but I always had the belief that we had a good enough squad to do much better.” “I probably didn’t expect us to win six games in a row, but I always knew we were capable of going on a much better run and turning things around.”
“We have shown in this run that we can win different types of matches.” “We can attack teams and cause problems on the break, but we can also be organised and hard to break down when we have to be.”
“That is a big strength of the team.” “At the moment, we are very good defensively and we also have a lot of pace in attack.” “You can see that on the counter, we have really improved our football this year.”
“We have to continue like this and train hard every week. Every game is different, and we have to be prepared for that.” “If you play Tottenham away, you know you are going to have to defend a lot.”
“But if you are playing a lower team at home, you have to be prepared to take the game to your opponent more.” “If you have a clean sheet, then we have enough skills in the front line to make a goal.”
“If we can keep a clean sheet, we feel as though we can win any game we play in.”
It will be a very tough game for our lads today, and if we are going to get a result out of the game, then our defense will need to have a good game and maybe some luck too.
It’s uncertain whether Fabricio Coloccini will start today, but we have an inkling he be leading the side out today.
23 times capped Dutch International Janmaat has played 17 games so far for Newcastle United with one good goal against Crystal Palace, and he has fitted so smoothly into the right back position, that we have not missed Mathieu Debuchy.
Howay The Lads!!

I’m surprised more people have gone for the win than the draw! I’m clinging to the fact that the mackems got a result against Chelsea at home. I hope AP goes for Abeid or Colback ahead of Tiote if that’s the choice, but I think AP will show them too much respect and go for Tiote, as well his usual default more defensive set up given we have less options with pace. Hope I’m wrong though. Midfield performance is again the key for me. Can we stop Hazard and Costa? Got our hands full

Comment #5Daryl Janmaat.Very good player.Still think that on that right back position he is only 2nd.The first choice needs to be Vurnon Anita.He will adapt there very fast even though he was played on another position.

Im not having a go mate but you really need to check your facts mate re Ben arfa. Go through his past and the lad has been a rebel at every club he’s played at. I agree he is definitely a talented player, But a wasted one at that.
Have we missed Benny ??? no we haven’t. I think once Cabella gets to grips with the PL he will prove more than a capable successor to the position that Benny occupied.
Ask yourself one question mate……How many poor games did Benny have to how many good games did he have in the black and white shirt.

We have tried and he was pants. That’s why Janmaat has been bought in to replace Debs who was also in front of Anita.
Janmaat is the dutch number 1 mate…. does that not count for anything

Comment #18jazzyp
I was biggest criticizer on Anita from the moment he came here.Why?Because he was useless.All fans were respected him that time.But he was DM and he is nothing more than GHOST on that position.But right back position is something different.

Comment #19Go toon
so he didn’t play in the world cup at right back then ??
Agree with your wording on Anita being a ghost in midfield tho pal.
Im afraid Anita is nothing more than a squad member.Look how depleted we have been of late and he still cant make the 1st team

I know everything for him but for some reason I think that he can be good right back.That is just my opinion mate.And time will tell 🙂
