Ronaldo Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It's also worth pointing out that he, as a non-English speaker, commanded a makeshift backline while the team was a man down... I know you weren't slating him or anything but i won't have anyone making excuses for that performance, he was mint. he's actually speaking good english now apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 He looked alot more agressive against City than he's looked before i think.

oldtype Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I feel that by end of season, we'll be worried that bigger clubs will be sniffing around for him rather than worried that he won't live up to expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My take on Coloccini: - Tough as old boots - Average in the air (in relation to premiership football) - Average in terms of pace " - Great distribution - Good timing of tackles - Good strength - Great reading of the game - Good Organiser I think the price tag was about right for him. To become more effective he needs to improve in the air. He's ok, but ok will concede a number of goals throughout the season in the premiership. I think he is a great addition for the club!

I wouldn't say he's average in terms of pace. I think when he gets going he's quite quick. Certainly fast enough for a CB and when you read the game as well as he does you don't need lightening pace.

To be fair, psychologically being up against two fellow South Americans might have helped (the whole Argentina v Brazil thing). Maybe i don't understand why you wrote "To be fair" or what you meant with it. I know what the words mean, but it sounded like you defended him as if i was being negative about him. But i meant it in a positive way. Maybe i just got it wrong about your reply, it's not always that easy to understand Let's beat the m*****s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
