Fabricio Coloccini (now retired)

[AlanSkÃrare]

First signs of player discontent with the way we are playing. Demba and Cabaye publicly complaining about our style, Papiss showing his anger at being subbed, falling out with Coloccini.

 

He's under pressure now.

[Guest reefatoon]

Christ.  It is looking like there is quite a bit of disharmony in the ranks at the minute.  Players not being/looking happy.

[Guest Geordiesned]

He really doesn't know when the fuck to shut up does he!

[garth]

So there might something in the article in the newspaper, what McDonald wrote after all.

That's right, and it seems to be all our big important players that are pissed off. not looking forward to January.

No.

[bowlingcrofty]

Colo wasn't happy at the cancellation of the Xmas party from what I've heard.

[Interpolic]

Fucking party animal.

[Skirge]

Its all a load of nothing this shit happens at every club all the time, he had to speak about it before the press had a chance to sensationalise it.

[wormy]

The f*** is this now then?

'look we are both winners

 

 

 

On a serious note, hope it really is being brushed aside and everyone now pulling in the right direction. The last thing we need is the team even more disjointed.

[Tiresias]

Confident Colo will always give his all anyway

[Fenham Mag]

People in football argue all the time. No need to sensationalise it.

Tell that to Pardew.

Dam right

This is probably a stupid question, but given the lack of on the ball ability on the right hand side of our defence compared to the left, would it be an idea to switch Williamson and Coloccini to balance things out a bit?

 

I know players tend to favour (and play on) one side or another, but could the benefits outweigh any drawbacks?

We have a serious lack of left footed defenders but I feel it matters most with fullbacks, even more so in a 4-4-2 formation when we have a right footed fullback and right footed winger on the left.

I know what you mean, but I think the real difference when attacking  is with the full backs.

 

I think switching the centre backs would hamper Santon more than it would improve Simpson.

I see what you're saying, but we have kittens when Williamson is on his natural foot never mind his left.

 

I'm all left-footed but whenever I played right centre-half it was a bit alien to me even just a little change like that.

[Mike]

Think having Colo at his back gives Santon the confidence to go forward. Colo's is going to put out any fires that may start.

[Rich]

I know what you mean Dave, but Coloccini obviously prefers the left-sided role as well, given he's lined up there on every occasion since the relegation season. I wouldn't be shifting him.

 

I'd just buy a better right-back and right centre-back, but I've been tooting this horn along with plenty of the rest of you for a long while now.

[Guest neesy111]

The solution:  Buy and New CB and RB.

Have you seen Williamson on his strongest side?

But then Mike Ashley would forfeit Tooj's FM challenge!

We'd have more than 11 purples as well, can't be fucking having that.
