Wilson Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Don't know if they have history as Colo was gunning for him all game. dont think there is, colo had a bit of a shitter by his standards and I think he just lost it as he'd been given the run around by suarez all game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Colo is above being critisised in this match tbh. More often than not he goes above and beyond what you expect of a defender. I'm not going to slag him off for Suarez's goal, when it was one possible mistake. In the world of defenders, this man is a genius and I absolutely love him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Poor against Lukaku and Long at West Brom and got bossed by Suarez, clearly on the decline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 That magical moment where he slipped but still made the clearing header, failure to have done so would have left Bugs Griffin free on goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I still think it was a harsh red, and I agree with the twat Owen, probably the first and last time. If Colo wanted to take his leg out, he would have hit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sadly Suarez got the better of Coloccini and I think Colo reacted. Its not the first time, remember Bolton? It was a red too, I'd be fumin had it been the other way round and Suarez had not been sent off. Coloccini a beautiful man but he had a bad day at the office.

colinmk Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Colo lost his temper with the horrible little shitbag and no doubt intended on doing him then changes his mind. Going to be a HUGE loss for the three games he will miss. Agree with this, bad moment for all concerned apart from Suarez the wee shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a HUGE loss for the three games he will miss. Agree with this, bad moment for all concerned apart from Suarez the wee shite. Yep, looks like he saw red and wanted to go for Suarez, only to then change his mind at the last second. Really unlucky considering he did the right thing in the end but it shows how easily players like Suarez can wind defenders up. There was a moment where the two were chasing for a through ball and Colo got the better of him, only for Suarez to launch himself into Colo's back, knock him off balance and steal the ball back. Nothing was said of it - but that's how Suarez plays, he has this messy, battling style of thrashing about trying to win the ball or beat players which sort of disguises his constant fouling. He leaves his feet in, uses his hands etc constantly. If refs ever wised up to that like they have his theatrical diving he'd be a far less effective player.

Kanji Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I want nothing more than to Argentina to line up against Uruguay in their next competitive match and would just love the Argies to take the abs. piss out of Suarez.

Doug Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Suarez wriggled clear of Colo only twice in the game and Colo never even touched him in the red card incident. Youd think we lost the way all sources have bulled Suarez and Liverpool up over that game. We shouldnt fall for the media hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-stop wanking over that goal, how Coloccini's was a red beyond a shadow of doubt, how dominant Liverpool were. We got a f***ing draw at Anfield ffs, and our goal was also as w***worthy.

Lenny Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 A lot of the times Suarez beat Colo, he seemed to get a lucky bounce of the ball, i.e. Colo would make a challenge, make contact and the ball somehow bobble through to Suarez's path. Can't recall him beating him cleanly much throughout the match. Was the same for a lot of challenges on Saurez from other players too, I guess that's to the credit of Saurez's tenacity. Must say I found it frustrating just watching so I can imagine how frustrating it must be for the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Coloccini got found out on a couple of occasions; that's cos he was told to charge out to prevent attacks moving into the final phase - like a 'stopper', if you want to use FM terms. He's never been any good on the turn and that's why he was out of position a few times. The Stirling shot/Taylor blockage for example. Coloccini's better when he's told to play deeper imo; you could argue that his ability to read the game should make him ideal for a stopper role, but he just isn't quick enough. Especially when your opponent is Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Colo had a very good first half. He lost the plot in the 2nd. But it's not like we should be losing without him in the coming three games anyways. Masisve loss obviously but don't think it will matter as we will win the next three.

I'd say that's his natural style of defending. He cuts out situations before they've developed by moving out early to make interceptions / tackles. He's very pro-active. It's partly out of necessity, because when exposed or out of position, he doesn't have the strength or pace to recover. But he's worked his own particular style to a fine art, and most of the time, it's very effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
