Pilko Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 For all Colocinni's faults last season, his bottle was never, ever a problem. Played more than anyone and never, ever hid. Exactly. Some people don't understand the difference between 'bottling it' and just simply being outplayed through ability. For a good example of 'bottling it', see Nolan in any of the away games he played in last season. Stoke in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 How was Colo a bottler last season? His bottle went when we played the big teams. Check the results, re-read the match reports. Like it did against Man U first game of the season, what utter tripe. It was downhill for everyone & the club after that game you plonker. And? We're talking about a guy who tried lobbing the keeper from 40 yards in a world cup quarter-final. I refuse to think for one second that his 'bottle' went against the might of Liverpool and Arsenal.

He capitulated mentally & physically in front of us ffs. As I said elsewhere I hope a year down rebuilds his shattered confidence. Your such a fanboy for certain players it is like you have never left behind that schoolboy mentality which is nice & refreshing in one way but gets fucking boring at times.

Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I'm no fanboy, I was critical of Colo last season. But saying he lost his 'bottle' is what i'd expect from the lazy bastards at the Thompson House. Nowt wrong with his bottle, he just found it difficult to adapt last season.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Tbh, I don't think lack of bottle or effort from 90% was a factor last season, lack of ability to play football is what cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 How was Colo a bottler last season? His bottle went when we played the big teams. Check the results, re-read the match reports. He struggled more against the lower sides with the bruisers up front tbh. Spot on. Ricardo Fuller, Marlon King, Ishmael Miller and Emile Heskey are good examples. Carlton Cole left him a nervous wreck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 There was one time on monday night when a ball was heading towards him (at the Gallowgate end) and he looked like he had spotted it late and ran to get it looking all like Haven't seen him like that for a long time.

LooneyToonArmy Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Lineker urges Capello to consider Newcastle keeper Harper England legend Gary Lineker says Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper deserves World Cup consideration by Three Lions coach Fabio Capello. In his column for the Mail on Sunday, Lineker wrote: "I wonder if Fabio Capello might take a leaf out of Bobby Robson's book by casting his eye over a player who is excelling in the Championship while rivals are floundering in the Premier League. "Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper has been one of the main reasons his side are heading back to the top flight. "Finding goalkeepers is a world problem because of the way the game has changed, particularly in the movement of the ball. "I've seen even the best, like Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon, have nightmares this season. So why not look at Harper? He's solid, dependable and I know Alan Shearer rates him. But as far as I have seen, he hasn't been mentioned. "Having understudied Shay Given for years, he will not be fazed by sitting on the bench and staying focused if needed at a second's notice."
