Its also amusing that they think we'd take a 10m loss, that and the Spanish article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Fucking awesome today imo. I hope if we go up he is able to transfer these perfomances to the premiership and he just too a while to settle in. I know he still makes some bad decisions which so far haven't been punished as much but at times, like Enrique, he just looks too comforable and it seems to easy for him.

Guest prestonj1989 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Brilliant again today. Was well impressed with how he kept the ball in down near the corner flag in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 So classy on the ball. He's like the polar opposite of everything else in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Just to put his performance into context, I agree that he looks much better against second rate strikers but got on wrong side of Lita from corner in first half and that mistake would have been punished by Premiership strikers as was the case last season. I don't think he's outstanding, and certainly not worth the £10 million we paid for him. I hope he continues his good form in this division and we can perhaps get our money back on him at some stage.

JH Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 My man of the match today, absolutely outstanding. This. Was shocked he didn't get it, had Lita in his back pocket all game. A season down here is really doing wonders for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 a lesson in giving players time to settle. Amen! Whether he is playing for a WC place or a move is irrelevant. He's putting in the performances and the effort and that;s much better than sulking in the reserves pining for a move away etc... Top class today. I wish he would bring the ball up more often.

I don't think he's outstanding, and certainly not worth the £10 million we paid for him. I hope he continues his good form in this division and we can perhaps get our money back on him at some stage. Even the best defenders in the world will still make the odd mistake that will give a striker a chance, he absolutely was outstanding today. I certainly don't think his improved performances are simply due to second rate strikers at this level either. If you look past the opposition Coloccini himself has improved and changed the way he plays. Of course he still has flaws that could be punished more often in the Premiership, but he's definitely getting more used to our game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It's a shame we don't have another decent CB, in the absence of Smith he would be great at CDM. Probably the best passer of the ball in our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Great performance today. Lita, Kitson and Bent are not too far away from the quality of strikers about a 3rd of the Premier League field and he passed with flying colours. Still made a couple of errors notably when he got the wrong side of Wheater just before the second and when he slid to intercept and missed it letting Lita in which may have put his performance in context had they gone the other way. Overall, a 9 out of 10 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 He's as much a confidence player as i've ever seen for us. We're near impeccable as a defensive unit this season and he's turned into a kingpin. However, i wouldn't bet against one rick in the Premiership sending him all shit again. Ideally we'd keep him cos i think this back four is definitely good enough for the top division, but if we got a very good offer i'd probably let him go. That said, continuity and confidence seems to be absolutely crucial for him and he's formed an excellent partnership with Taylor, which would be a pity to take away. I know we're in the Championship but i've never been so confident about our defense. Hopefully the whole ordeal since May has improved the mental aspect of his game, cos the physical attributes are all there and always have been. We've all known there's a good player in there.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 He still gets too tight when a striker has his back to him I think. He was impeccable today mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Liam Liam O Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 a lesson in giving players time to settle. Would be a fair enough comment if we were in the Premiership. Absolutely correct. We've had loads of poor players (centre halves particularly) who would stroll through a season in the Championship. Played well today mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
