I wish Colback would get rid of the ball a bit quicker like. Yesterday he wasted time looking around before inevitably playing the simple pass. He should just take one or two touches and then play the simple pass

Apparently it makes no difference that he slows down play only to then pass it back to a defender or the midfielder right beside him.

It's allegedly exactly what Anita does also. They're one and the same.

Bullshit.

I noticed three things this guy did yesterday. The foul on Mane and the two blocks at the end.

 

Can someone please let me know where he was the remainder of the game? Thanks.

 

The comparison to Anita makes me sick. Anita constantly made himself available for the ball to start off moves from the back, and constantly pressed and harried the opposition to good effect, without stupid fouls.

 

I genuinely don't understand what people are watching when they compare the two. But it's okay, we're playing Swansea next. Let's see if the improved build up play we all saw yesterday is still evident if Anita has to miss out.

 

Bloody ridiculous s*** man.

 

Your first point is pretty f***ing stupid. If you only judge players by highlight reel contributions then sure, that was his performance. But if you conveniently ignore every other small contribution then hey, it fits the narrative.

 

Colback is supposed to be Alan Smith, Nicky Butt. The typical clogger who can't control a ball and spends most of the game trying to win back posession from his own giveaways.

 

Anita is supposed to be Phillip Cocu, Daley Blind. The super technical DM who lives between his own centre-backs and does nothing other than 'play the right way'.

 

The reality is that both players are a hell of a lot f***ing similar than their stereotypes and do predominantly the same job in a midfield.

My first point is in fact not stupid, because I watched the whole game and saw none of these other little contributions he made.

This whole thing is really laughable to me. We'll see what happens Saturday if Anita sits out.

Bloody ridiculous.

The sooner you enrol back into college the better for us all. Go away.

Wildcard played, no point messing around now that I'm sure of the players that are first teamers and the positions they are playing in

Should have waited for the window to close at least. Amateurish move.

Yeah Haidara did a lot of terrible things yesterday. I could hardly believe what I was seeing some of the time.

He certainly didn't make Obertan's life easier ont hat side either!

We can't have both of those on the same time, as both need someone stronger and more authoritative to play with.

E.g. Obertan with Janmaat, and Sissoko with Haidara. However I want Sissoko to stick to one spot this year and really master it, so we really shouldn't be swapping his side for the sake of Gabriel Obertan.

How bad is this game? 

Was so hyped up when he came on. Thank a God it wasn't a red 

 

Still want him starting. Want him on the pitch with Wijnaldum. His presence and hold up play look very good.

 

How do I choose which?

This tapatalk thing is grotesque.

He was just chomping at the bit man. Very eager to impress. I like that. He'll be fine.

Man, love this guy's game, energy and enthusiasm.

His joy at scoring was contagious. Superb stuff.

Aarons needed to be on really around 60 or so minutes IMO for Obertan. Anita's injury clearly altered our plan.

Agreed.

The Anita injury was HUGE man. You can see how important he is and how quickly he moves the ball about

The guy is so classy man. Hope he's okay for next week. Really worried.

Anita is so good at initiating play from the back man. Takes up the right spaces constantly.

If we have to with Colback anD Tiote we are going to suffer.

Fair play man. Really enjoyed that. We'll get better. Southampton are decent man.

Coloccini my goodness ... Statuesque.

Fair play to Colback man.

I really love Chancel. What a start.

Colback the same stupid pass every time.

Anita coming off has changed the game.

Yup.

Missing Anita splitting the CBs and initiating play.

So rust rating man.

Cisse is disgusting.

Mbemba is class. Always in decent positions.

Get that boy a goal.
