mrmojorisin75 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Appalling, diabolical, f*** me give him a chance. here, clown, can you read? f*** off. I saw you put he got better but what kind of retard uses words like that when it's obvious he's finding his feet. No way was he either of those at any point anyway. "looked diabolical in the first few minutes, made some appalling challenges and mistakes...after, say, 15 mins never noticed him again (which is a great compliment for a defender) quality, an amazingly fast adaptation to the PL" there it is again for you mate, i ask again though? can you read? Using the word diabolical to describe his start is just way over the top. Get real and do it again. watch it again, he was all over the place, he really was - he hacked down a man u player 2 yds outside the box within 2 minutes and if they had one of their better players on the pitch we might have been one down then piss poor that a couple of clowns are picking me up on vocab for what was a totally positive post, amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Did well today, but Taylor was the outstanding centre half Col - 7 Tayls - 8 - credit where credits due! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I just hate how that Cambell dude tackled Colo from behind, an awfull injury tackle. He got the yellow but thats the sort of tackle the refs need to get out the game. yeah, i said to the turkish waiter standing next to me that was a very, very bad tackle he brought me another raki!

Karjala Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Did well today, but Taylor was the outstanding centre half Col - 7 Tayls - 8 - credit where credits due! shame he was pussying about on the side lines with a nothing injury when manure got the equaliser. Would be a great addition to the west end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFunk Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Baptism of fire for the Colossus, but it's great to have a player of his stature and quality at the back. At last someone who knows what he's doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was a little nervous about him for the first 10 minutes, but he settled in fairly well. I can see him getting stronger for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 yes, he did start shaky. But there were times he simply put a head on it, when players such as Cacapa would wait, let it bounce, then perhaps take a touch, and before they knew it, would have it taken off their toes. Credit to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think he only really showed his quality once in the game, there was a high looping ball into the box with not much pace into the area which you'd expect others to struggle to clear, Colo stood his ground perfectly underneath the ball, and produced a powerful looping header to about 35 yards out, played at a spped and angle which would make it difficult for a Manyoo player to deal with on the follow up. There were a few moments that can be put down as shaky, and the press/other fans would have had a field day had Manchester United scored, but they didn't, and he never made the same mistake twice, it was clear that he had been given a real baptism of fire, and the longer the game went on, the better he looked.

Karjala Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I liked the fact he seemed to have a bit of a dirty streak in him, as well as his obvious class. Something all the main defenders have, and something the likes of Bungle and O'Brien lacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 This was: 1) His first match for his new team 2) His first match in a new country 3) His first match of the season - no pre season games at all On the whole a very very good debut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I was really worried after the 1st few minutes, I thought he looked shaky and I could imagine the amount of stick he would get if that kind of performance carried through but after that he looked pretty solid. Can't wait until he settles fully. Another plus was that Taylor looked very good yesterday. Overall impressed by the whole team. If we can beat Bolton and take a point from Arsenal then I will be a very happy man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicente_14 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 His start was a bit shaky, but that was to be expected. Liked the fact that he wouldn't let his man go beyond him, even if that meant bringing him down, better to defend the free kick than let the striker through on goal. And, also thought he looked to be the leader we badly need at the back, despite the probable language barrier, he was telling the other three where to go/position themselves, and this is exactly what Taylor needs to take him to the next level.

STM Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Really have good feelings about Taylor and Coloccini as a partnership. KK talking today about how they could be playing beside each other for the next 5 years. Would be great if that could happen. Also had occured to me that we have finally got a class centre back who has enough leadership characteristics to be captain. If Owen goes......
