biggs Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The whole team were uncomfortable in the second half, I can't see any point in having a go at one player. Shit from the start tbh and if he is so good how come he can only play with bassong beside him,a good player should stand out amongst shit and until he gets used to the premiership and comfortable with it i will not judge him but was awful today but he was not helped by a woeful Taylor.

Skeletor Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Don't like to say it but he was horrendous today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Every player is allowed an off day. He played woeful today but I've seen enough of him this season to know that he's not Taylor-esque. He was terrible today though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Aye he was terrible but he was surrounded by shite. He can't cover for three other defenders and do his own job now can he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 not the first time he's had a nightmare at home, remember the stoke game not looking like the player he was in spain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 not looking like the player he was in spain I think that's down to the fact of what he's surrounded by. If he had better players around him, he'd be better. He can't cover for everyone's mistakes and play his own game as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 When he's bad he's really bad tbh. The players around him don't excuse his lack of nous and strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I think he's looked a potentially excellent player for us, with a few poor performances. He's got all the attributes needed to succeed alongside Bassong in the long term imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The other players around him at the back should be looking towards him for some form of leadership and direction. None of that shown at all today. Pathetic performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 not the first time he's had a nightmare at home, remember the stoke game not looking like the player he was in spain He looked similar in his first season at Depor to how he has for us to be honest. Generally a good defender with some questionable performances here and there. The guys on the Depor forums said he'd take a season to properly settle in at least with us when we signed him.

Golfmag Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 My mate in Spain who used to play for Santander said when we signed Colo and Jonas, that we would love Jonas because he runs forward and back all day and that Colo is a good player but not physical enough for England. I repeat that he said this when we signed them, not after, and I think he has been pretty much spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He was poor today but he's formed an excellent partnership with Bassong which I hope to see them continuing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He was poor today but you can't underestimate what he had around him, 1 player can't make the team. Sorry, he had nothing in front of him and he had nothing to the side of him, he’s the type of player who needs a bit of time, today he didn’t have it.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He was poor today but he's formed an excellent partnership with Bassong which I hope to see them continuing. I'd replace excellent with adequate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He was poor today but he's formed an excellent partnership with Bassong which I hope to see them continuing. in every partnership there are strengths and weaknesses, it only becomes a problem when said weaknesses are shared. Bassong compensates for Colo's physical faults it seems. Taylor just amplifies them tenfold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He was poor today but he's formed an excellent partnership with Bassong which I hope to see them continuing. I'd replace excellent with adequate. I reckon they've looked very good together. Complement each other well, and a particularly promising partnership given their relative inexperience in this league.

Greg Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 He's clearly more comfortable playing at right centre back rather than left as he did today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 first game we've played against liverpool with colo right? astute spanish manager (benitez) who presumably knew enough about colo to tactically exploit his major weakness in the air, that was no coincidence if the team were raped today colo was gang raped, so to speak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFunk Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Coloccini was gash against Liverpool. Don't think we'll see many performances like that from him though tbh. He's much better than he was yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Coloccini is a good headerer of a ball. When he heads it it goes a long way However Coloccini is not the best athlete therefore he gets done on he jump time and again Strengths Distribution Reading Tackle Weaknesses Challenging for balls in the air Pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
