Rich Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Outstanding today until he was beaten by O'Shea for their goal. Delighted that he's still capable of a performance like that though, had begun to give up on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Excellent performance. Amount of flak he gets is completely unjustified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He's decent when he can just stay in the box and clear crosses, like today. I don't rate him at all, but he did good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He played well, hopefully he now goes back to the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Excellent performance. Amount of flak he gets is completely unjustified. Does he get flak? People just think he's not good enough for where we want to be, which is the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just think he's not good enough for where we want to be, which is the truth. He's good enough to be in the squad, is a model pro and does his best - which is all you can ask of him. He does get a lot of personal criticism and abuse, which is pretty harsh for fans who are supposed to be supporting our players. It's not his fault he is a first-teamer so often.

afar Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Colo makes anyone look good. Played well though. Was at fault for the goal twice, once by giving the free kick away and then not marking Oshea tight enough, he gets a free header there. That spoilt an otherwise decent performance by him.

Rich Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I know where Ronaldo is coming from, he should be 4th choice CB at best really. For me, he slots in for Taylor nicely because of the quality of Colo (as Dave suggested). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It was a very good decision by Willo to bring down Saha. Can't blame him one bit for the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mike Williamson currently averages over 16 clearances per game. Not only is that more than double the number that Coloccini manages, no other footballer in the top four leagues in Europe averages more than 12. Williamson also has the stats on his side in terms of tackles and blocks. But it's noticeable that the key defensive statistic in which Coloccini outperforms Williamson is in terms of interceptions. The Argentina international produced more of those than any other player in the Wear-Tyne derby on Sunday - two of them vital ones inside the penalty box. And crucially, after an interception - as opposed to many of Williamson's clearances - both he and his team are able to retain possession. Coloccini has a 91 per cent pass success rate compared to his centre-back partner's tally of 76 per cent. Poor Willo, man!

aussiemag Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hes basically the centre back version of Simpson. Adequate at his job and thats it. Wins headers and wins most tackles. Both should be squad players, thats the difference between us and the top 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Unfortunately, because of his reputation he's stuck in an endless spiral. People think he's turboshit on the ball so every time he gets the ball, people get straight on his back and scream at him to get it away, thus making him turboshit on the ball. I'm not saying he's great, or even a good defender, but he's not that bad. I'd be shitting myself if 50,000 were screaming at me to get rid of it, then screamed at me for getting rid of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
