Fabricio Coloccini (now retired)

[Kanj]

Needs out. Now.

[SiLvOR]

MYM really needs to step up, it's all his if he can oust colo once this season through form and not injury.

 

MYM could move a mountain and it won't change Pardew's insane choices. Colo's first name as long as he's here.

[Pata]

What were Janmaat, Williamson and our precious little Vurn doing in the first goal? Or Krul on the second goal?

 

I love unnecessary finger pointing.

[Kanj]

2 cbs should always run to the man trailing behind and slowing down and not running at goal anymore.

[M1tche]

At fault for both goals in my option, not solely at fault but more at fault that anyone else i would say. Did well other than that, but being a fault for 2 goals turns a decent game into a poor one,

[Kanj]

"You did well son, apart from the 2 goals that we conceded today and lost"

Dunno like. Pardew is walking a fine line, he knows it, if he thinks MYM will be a better player for him he'll be in, it's not a choice of style like Colback/Anita/sissoko choice, it's quite simple really. Pardew showed too much faith in colo last season, he'll not afford him the same if he's confident in MYM.

[SiLvOR]

I hope you're right, I just think Pardew knows what he likes and likes what he knows. Very reluctant to deviate from his "master plan"

[Ronaldo]

A good game ffs. This is the idiocy that plagues NUFC.

[Kanj]

I'll keep saying. If you are half or remotely at fault for the 2 goals that led to our ZERO points you didn't play well. FFS.

[Pata]

Man Kanji, you used to be so good until you became the lite version of Ronny on the football section.

[Pilko]

The way he ran to challenge Dzeko despite Williamson already being in close attention was fucking shocking. Other than that, he played really well, but it was such a basic shitty error and it's yet another one we can add to the list.

[Kanj]

Naw Pata I'm just calling it as it is brother. It's my damn opinion and it's been my opinion for a long long time

Had Taylor done that they'd the pitchforks would sharpened before the ball hit the back of the net. It's another wtf moment from our supposed leading cb. We desperately need a top class cb brought in, we can't afford to go in to the season with these 4. Mike fucking Williamson is our best bet ATM, it's a tragedy.

Travesty that we shipped as many goals as we did last season and didn't bother to improve the heart of the defense.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Must have been watching a different game, thought he had a good game.

Other then the first goal where he got sucked in, I don't think he did much wrong. Aguero just had the legs on him for the second goal. Think some of the comments are over the top.

 

So he played alright, apart from being at fault for the first goal and getting outpaced for the second? He's a defender, it's job 1. He's good on the ball and a very nice passer of the ball, good at intercepting play and I loved him for 2-3 seasons, but he needs to be replaced or phased out to move forward and he's been on the way out for a little while now bar the odd game. Love him, but he needs to go. Of course, under this clown he's our captain (and a terrible one at that) and the first name on the team sheet.

[Pata]

Colo got outpaced by Aguero? Fucking hell he really is finished!

[Ronaldo]

He gets outpaced by everyone, that's the problem. He's made Rickie Lambert and Edin Dzeko look like the Brazilian Ronaldo this year.

[TRon]

I'll keep saying. If you are half or remotely at fault for the 2 goals that led to our ZERO points you didn't play well. FFS.

 

The first goal was a nice bit of skill by Dzeko, you have to give him some credit for that. The second Aguero got a nice rebound. You could argue Colo should have done better but they were hardly glaring errors.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Williamson went with Dzeko for the first goal, Colo didn't have to go to him as well.

 

He was done for the second, but Krul couldn't have palmed it back out into a better place tbf. No idea why he didn't push it out for a corner.

[Ronaldo]

Aye, it's as simple as that, like. Krul should've ensured his save from close range went neatly out for a corner.

He's always been prone to covering for other people and leaving space where he should be. I remember him doing that in the 2-1 against Villa in 11/12 and that was when he was at around his peak for us. It's an honest mistake when you have Williamson alongside you, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it as a mistake.

[Pata]

Aye, it's as simple as that, like. Krul should've ensured his save from close range went neatly out for a corner.

 

Honestly, what is it that you are expecting from a CB in that situation against Aguero? Stevie Taylor superslide? He forced him to his weaker foot and a tight angle. Krul has no business directing that weak shot back to Aguero's foot.

I thought that Aguero took his goal brilliantly, he had no right to score but did and sometimes you just have to accept that it was a good goal.

[afar]

His 2 bad moments in the match were the 2 goals, really getting sucked in to Dzecko for the first and leaving so much space behind him was naive in the extreme, the second, you've really got to anticipate that ball coming back to Aguero and do everything in your power to stop him from getting it. He had an important block from a dangerous move from Jovetic though in the 2nd half but you get judged as a CB on those 2 goals you conceded.

 

The problem we have though is there are simply no effective options to the Colo/Willo partnership, and that's shocking really, both MYM and Saylor have themselves to blame for not showing anything to show they deserve to be in the team ahead of those two. We need to buy, but we won't unless we can move one or more of the 4 senior CBs, whom I would be wouldn't lose any sleep over any of them being sold.
