mrmojorisin75 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 John Carver in being an absolute bell end shocker. The guy is a fucking nob. Aye this really, the papers might as well pick a smack head off the street and ask them what they think. Carver is fucked man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 “Losing Jack Colback to suspension I was a bit light on central midfielders and I had to stifle Moussa Sissoko because I needed him in there. “It has worked. Things have gone against us and I have had to deal with that. “I am not making excuses, they are facts. Colback was a big miss today.” In his and Vurnon Anita’s stead, Mehdi Abeid went unfussily about his business in front of Newcastle’s back four. Carver said: “He did OK. “I want someone to get on the ball with a bit more composure. He battled and competed. “Things didn’t come off for him at times and I expect more from him.” We need Colback back in the side to offer us that composure on the ball, who else will pass it backwards and sideways? Colback's overall composure is superb too. I especially liked it when he picked up his 10th booking of the season for dissent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Abeid is clearly ahead of Anita in the pecking order now, it'll surely be him and Colback in there once he's back from suspension, with Sissoko pushing further forward again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 FWIW I didn't think he had a particularly great match against Villa but I'd much rather see him given a fair chance and not take it than stick with what's not worked all fucking season in Mr Bang Average.

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Absurd comments BUT not surprising, it's quite telling that he seems to dislike Abeid BUT can't stop hoying his tongue up Jack Colback's arse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'd agree that criticising a young player who's only just making a comeback isn't a great idea. However - a) the criticism was not as harsh as some people are making out, and he's also implicitly saying that he thinks the player has the ability to do better. b) What he said was accurate IMO - Mehdi didn't have such a good game, and can do better. c) Colback is the best passer in our midfield and is a miss. I'd say Abeid is competing with Anita and Tiote for a place, not with Colback. I think our best option is 4-3-3, with a midfield of Colback, Abeid and Sissoko.

Hughesy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I don't think Colback is a better passer than Abeid. I think one of Abeid's strengths is that he fires off his passes quickly - we move the ball much faster with him playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I actually wish Colback was good, as it would make this all a lot more tolerable. In actuality he hardly does anything, and is no way a better player than Abeid. It's just so pathetic and blatantly biased because of where Colback is from. It's bloody stupid.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Colback has been the best passer in NUFC's midfield this season, fwiw, not that this is some great competition. He is generally fairly accurate, and has been more proactive than Anita. I like Abeid, and he should get many more opportunities this season with Tiote injured and Anita probably working his way out of the team or playing emergency fullback. The sample size is far too small for him to be labeled as some sort of winning charm, but he has good attributes and good experience from Greece.

Village Idiot Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 From the sample of NUFC games that I have watched, I'd say that technically Anita is the best passer in your midfield, he just doesn't seem too good at selecting passing options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
