The College Dropout Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hang on, I thought Colback was supposed to be good? When did he stop being a canny free transfer to being worse than Abeid? Or are people being ridiculous again? When has he shown he's any better than abeid? He runs around a lot, and has zero assists or goals this season. Forget goals and assists. He has zero influence on football matches in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Colback is positionally one of the worst players I've seen. He just chases the ball. Proper playground stuff. He's rubbish Could that not be because how the team is set up? I don't see any players in the team looking comfortably positionally and one misplaced pass and the opposition is running at our defence whereas we have to grind teams down (doesn't happen) I think colback is a decent player and looking at performances one of our least problems with our biggest problems being a slow, positionally piss poor cb's (again pardew because they have such a high line for no pace), wingers that don't create, some players who don't care (sissoko) and strikers who look frustrated. The biggest problem is colback is trying to actually get on the ball but doesn't have the ability of cabaye so does a lot of simple stuff because he can't drive the team forward. Hardly worst player ever, just not world class What are his strengths? He only needs to hold his position and he can't do it. He never intercepts play he does slide people but it's chasing balls out of position. That's just basics 1. Good engine, 2. English, 3. works hard, 4. Geordie, 5. Grafts, 6. Canny lad.

Darth Crooks Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looked a million times better when he came off against Swansea and Sammy who apparently on his last chance, offered more than jack colback has done in all of his games. I don't get it at all. These guys are supposed to be working at and have understanding of the highest level of professional football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Colback looked vaguely useful against City when he was chasing the ball a lot and there was no Tiote. In 95% of games there is no need for him, a total waste of a shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Colback's performance against Man City was up there with Roy Keane's against Juventus, not sure what's changed since then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nathan. retweeted Oluwashina Okeleji @oluwashina 15m15 minutes ago #Algeria's Abeid is determined to make it with #NUFC: "I can be a solution this season and if I get a chance I'll do my best for everybody." Nee Colback, like. Good quote from a fella who is just yawning away at the bench. I'd start him next to Tiote and/or Anita or hell, Sissoko. Whole 11 needs be reworked as much as possible; they look clueless. When the fuck is Siem back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
