jimmymag Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I thought it was just the burden of Pardew saying that he was as good as Bobby Moore that had affected his form, cos he's been crap since then. He has looked like a player who's not 100% at it for several games now, so it's easy to believe there's something going on that we're not yet aware of.

Lenny Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't think Colo has been "crap" recently. Granted he's not been as good as he was last season but he's still put in respectable shifts given the circumstances. I guess it's all subjective really, I mean, if Williamson, or even Taylor were putting in the level of performance Colo is turning in at the moment, I think most would be very happy with them.

LesPaul Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Our defence is having to do too much lately, bound to start making mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 He's made mistake after mistake in recent weeks, very poor. If Williamson got beat in the air by Hugo bloody rodallega he'd get lambasted. Or turned inside out by Jelavic. Or plays Nasri on side.. Defensively, he's been as bad as anyone in the back line. Except Davide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasri - full backs are supposed to follow the centre half not stand 5 yards behind the line - Santon didn't move Jelavic - dragged out to right back as there was no right back there If you're being serious that is!

Now, I rate Santon, and overall he's had a decent season (not as good as some would say), but he's been as bad as, if not worse than Simpson lately. He's been poor.

Dan Gleebals Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The back four have been under so much pressure because we have missed our key midfield players - top that with Tiote and Jonas constantly giving the ball back to the opposition, its hardly a suprise.

Lenny Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah I don't dispute that, but I just don't think Santon is exempt from criticism if we're picking bones out of the back four, as IMO, the past few games he's probably been the worst. I also worry that his runs are getting sussed out a bit now as he's rarely getting anywhere at the moment, and actually putting us in the shit because he's trying them in silly places. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with confidence, as a lot have already said, he's only young and when seniors around you are underperforming, it's going to affect you.

STM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think Colo's form has improved in the last couple of games. It's the protection from Tiote and cover from Williamson we should be worrying about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think Colo's form has improved in the last couple of games. It's the protection from Tiote and cover from Williamson we should be worrying about. Agree, especially Tiote who quite frankly doesn't even protect his CB's properly anymore. If the plan is to play Cabaye as a #10 with Hatem and Remy either side of him then i'd look at getting a better partner for Anita. But that's another topic for another time.

So he's dragged out to right back that means he couldn't do anything? He had to stop Jelavic getting in the box and he failed. Yeah Perch was AWOL but you're best CB shouldn't be getting fleeced like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Got to love when the military junta sells off your original ground to build a Carrefour for pennies so you have no home for a bit so you play at other teams grounds & then build a new one next to the slum then years later you have to buy back said land for a much larger price to move back to your neighbourhood.

Disco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Aye, what I heard is they'll just 'move' their current ground to the new location. Current ground is next to a slum a few miles from their traditional home neighbourhood, Boedo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
