So relaxed on the ball, so confident in his own ability to knock it off anyone. Reads the game superbly as well.

 

Best defender I've seen in Newcastle, tops Woodgate the way he is playing now.

 

I'm not sure he tops Woodgate yet, he's getting close and at least he's usually injury free which makes him more valuable to us.

Woodgate was easily better imo. Faster, stronger, better reading, better positionally, cracking recovery tackle if he had to make it (something that Coloccini can't do unfortunately). Also a good leader at the back, certainly saw significant improvement in those around him when he played (Bramble/O'Brien in particular). Almost the perfect centreback when he peaked for us, and it needs to be remembered that there was a good reason why Leeds fans rated him as being the more naturally gifted defender out of him and Rio Ferdinand. Such a shame he was a crock.

An absolute collosus today.

 

MOTM by a country mile and the best thing to grace that filthy turf in a long time.

 

This, a colossus today

Unsurprisingly didn't make Garth Crook's shithouse of a selection for team of the week, not even in the stupid little squad he compiled :lol:

 

Who was better a CB according to Garth then? Vidic? Ferdinand?

3 at the back vidic (who was good today tbf) ivanovic (goal disguises a very average defender) and bosingwa (hes shit)

NEWCASTLE United defensive rock Fabricio Coloccini today insisted that the Magpies can fly higher than the Black Cats in the Premier League this season.

 

 

Coloccini also dismissed Sunderland as “long ball merchants” as Newcastle knocked the ball around with style, with Joey Barton yet again instrumental for the Magpies.

 

The former Deportivo la Coruna and AC Milan defender said: “They played too many long balls, and I think all the team played well, but we’re disappointed.
