Newcastle 2014-15 Season Review - Player Ratings

25. Gabriel Obertan - 4.5

Appearances (All Competitions): 8 (5) Minutes Played (Premier League): 653 Assists (All Competitions): 1 Goals (All Competitions): 1 Yellow Cards (Premier League): 0 Red Cards (Premier League): 0
For a spell during November, Obertan looking like he was showing the flashes of brilliance that originally convinced Manchester United to bring him across from France - quick on the counter-attack and providing a decent end product. Yet his progress was checked by injury and, following months on the sidelines, he returned looking like a winger who seriously needs a confidence boost. Rapid when he wants to be, but often useless on the ball.
