alexf Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Very poor for that 2nd goal. Normally put it down to just a bad moment and get on with it but with all the drama around him it will probably be highlighted more than usual. Do hope we play Yanga-Mbiwa in the Europe and see how he does. Can't sign a £7m player as highly rated as him and keep him in the cold for too long.

Skeletor Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 His lack of pace is getting badly exposed as he ages. Him leaving in the summer may not be the worst thing going forward. Been a great player and servant to the club over the past 5 years but it may allow us to get another more athletic defender in addition to Yanga-Mbiwa.

The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 His game is all about intelligence. He's not fast or particularly strong. And his decisions are costing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 May have given away a silly free kick for the first but if Perch bothers himself to jump and take a whack in the face for the cause the free kick doesn't go in. To be fair to Perch, Sissoko motioned at the other players in the wall not to jump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 In all the clamour for m'biwa to be given a start, maybe saylor shouldn't be the one dropped. Saylor's really improved us back there. No way he should lose his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 May have given away a silly free kick for the first but if Perch bothers himself to jump and take a whack in the face for the cause the free kick doesn't go in. To be fair to Perch, Sissoko motioned at the other players in the wall not to jump. Surely by the time the ball is nearly at Perch's head, he knows it's not going underneath him. It's not like it was hit particularly hard. I don't think preparing not to jump is much of an excuse as far as this one goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the instructions, Jonas obviously realized the ball was being lifted and reacted accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Aye Perch watched it all the way for some reason. The type of freekick picks up pace and it went very low in the end. Still Colo's fault for allowing the whole situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Colo's fault for allowing the whole situation. i didn't think it was a free kick for the 1st goal. Dempsey seemed to just spin and fall and i didn't think colo touched him. 2nd goal Taylor made a right hash of challenginf Adebayour, Colo made a rubbish challenge and Perch stood and watched it all unfold. I'm also not sure that Bales shot was going in till it hit Kruls foot. Tell better when i've seen motd tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Coloccini's one real weakness has always been pace which is why it's been an odd choice to withhold MYM so much, especially today against a team with ridiculous pace in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Coloccini didn't cost us 2 goals today, I find it laughable that some are blaming him for the both even though I would agree that he had a part in both. He didn't give away the first goal, he gave away a free kick and defenders do that regularly, or they will if they tackle because they'll never get them 100% right every time. Perch should have blocked the first with his head and he not doing so cost us the first. People using the 2 others in the wall not jumping as a defence for Perch, it isn’t because Perch was the only player in the wall who could and should have blocked the shot. The 2nd was down to Coloccini and Taylor, Taylor screwed up slightly and Coloccini repeated that with his failed attempt at a tackle. I wouldn't be surprised if the broken nose suffered by Ba played some part in his failed tackle because if he was going to get the ball today he was going to have to raise his foot again, although not in the same way as he had to last weekend.

Tiresias Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I thought he had a poor game but not that poor a game, no reason to believe it's not just a mild fluctuation in his form and he'll be good again next game. People tagging it into some big decline are over-egging it, think he is found wanting for pace mind. I do find it hard to justify taylor being dropped either is the problem.

Coloccini has never had pace, at least not while he's been here. It shouldn't be forgotten that he's a very good player with the ball and could easily have had an assist today with a brilliant ball into the Spurs box.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah I've said it before but I don't think he's "lost a yard of pace", he's never fucking had it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
