Mick Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 He could quite blatantly head the ball into his own net on purpose and you/AndyMc/Paully would still try to construct a defence for him. Boring as f***. He would have got slaughtered if he hadn't attempted a challenge and nobody else was going to. You're just as biased as anybody when it comes to Coloccini, just the other way around and it's equally as boring but that'll not sink in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Deaf ears with Colo. He can do no wrong, even with Carragher, Neville and the rest of the country laughing at him (and us) every week. Agreed. He's put in some horrible performances and is always one of the first to look/play like he doesn't care. He's slow and he's average in the air, he needs to be fully focused and committed to put in good performances. A lot of the time he just doesn't seem to care. This place is ridiculous when it comes to Colo. Months prior to hiim saying he wanted to leave last season I was one of a few to say he was playing very poorly. ONly after his dad started mouthing off did people accept he had gone off the boil. I don't want him to be captain. If we had any type of decent transfer policy I would say I would want him replaced. Oh well that's Ronaldo proven right now he has you on his side. Colo's overall form has been poor for over a year now. Its as if he is playing a little bit shitter than his normal standard to get the move. Would be nice if our captain watched our matches at the stadium when injured. I doubt Vincent Kompany spends a month in Belgium when injured if it isn't needed. You can't even get John Terry to not wear a kit when he's not even be picked to play. It does indicate poor leadership. It indicates even poorer leadership from the manager then. I'm not privy to what goes on in the dressing room but Pardew sure is. Alex Ferguson used to show players with poor commitment the door, not hand them the captain's armband. True. But Alex Ferguson had full control of the team. Pardew doesn't. Ferguson could sell Stam for 16m and eventually sign his replacement for 30m. If Pardew sold Colo, he doesn't know who if anyone will come in. I'm no Colo apologist - unlike most who might be defending him now. The goals just weren't his fault today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just expect a captain and senior CB to consistently act like both. For some reason you don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what I expect from him, I think he could have done better for both goals but I don't blame him for thinking he should be challenging for the ball. I also think others around him could have done a lot better, before and after he failed to win the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Not too sure why there is so much disrespect in here for him. He's been a good servant, stayed with us when relegated, great player for a few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 fantastic player, and would be happy for him to have some role in the club after he stops playing, but he's not reliable anymore. A club with foresight would have had a few young centre backs of genuine quality competing for places over this (and last) season so that the changeover would be easy. We will panic buy someone who will turn out to be shit, still need another CB to replace Willo as well and be shit at the back for at least 2 more seasons.

Ideally we should have Lascelles here competing alongside Dummett. Disappointed Streete hasn't made the step up. Would love for us to go for Caulker this summer, providing QPR go down.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I don't think there's disrespect for him anyway, he was really good once and there's respect there for that. But fact is he isn't any good anymore, any respectable club wouldn't have him or anyone else we currently have at the football club.( as it equates to CBs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could've left, as so many players did. He could've stayed and not given a shit. Neither of those things happened and he was arguably the most important squad member in terms of getting us back up and consolidating our position in the Premier League the following season. Then in 11/12 when we finished 5th, he was at least an 8/10 every single week. He was an absolute giant for us in those three years but rapidly went off the boil. It's ridiculous that he's still a guaranteed starter, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Left for where? The only contracted senior players who left that summer were the ones going for decent to high transfer fees. No club wanted him or his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Not too sure why there is so much disrespect in here for him. He's been a good servant, stayed with us when relegated, great player for a few seasons. At one point be was one of the best I've ever seen at the club. But thats been tarnished somewhat by him wanting to leave and claims that he was one of the senior players behind removing the likes of Ben Arfa from the club. Just from what I've heard he never seems to stand up and be counted (or at least not for the better of the team) despite being the captain. Fair enough some of its only heresay, but its been repeated so often (and to my memory never contradicted in any info I've heard or read) that personally I believe it. At this point I'd be happy if he'd just leave for that Argentine club he wanted to play for in the summer and have nothing more to do with the club. Assuming we actually decide to buy a first team center back.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have only seen their second goal and got to say, typical Colo. Stupid decision to come that far out and a pathetic challenge in the air. Of course he'll have one good game in about 10-15 and his fans will tell us all how amazing he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a bigger mistake just before Pelle hit the bar, just decided to stop running on the edge of the box and let him get in behind Dummett at the front post, luckily Clynes cross was too long that time.

As if he had any choice whatsoever. after that 1st year with us, my local amatuer club wouldn't have taken him for free, he was abysmal the year we got relegated, and the fact he tried to F/O to San Lorenzo doesn't seem to resonate with a few on here, had he not been tied to a huge contract, he would have been off long ago, now he's on the wain he's quite happy to stay and collect his huge wage cheque week in week out.

Varadi Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Clearly at fault for both goals, and poor all round performance. As soon as I saw Long coming on I knew he would give Colo the runaround, didn't expect it to happen within the first 30 seconds though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't deal very well with Pelle in the air but our 2 biggest and (cough ahem) strongest centre backs weren't playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
