Pata Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I hope MYM replaces him this season. The criticism he gets is just way over the top on this forum right now. He's not as good as he was couple of years ago but he isn't finished either. To fault him for both goals today is just fucking boneheaded. He shared a blame on the first goal with Williamson, Janmaat and Anita. People go on like he scored two own goals on purpose ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 From you, yeah. Colo fails to act like a captain and a defender and somehow it's my fault when people offer sensible criticism. The thing is, its not sensible criticism, you have your opinion and you stick with in no matter what, and when you condemn a player, that's it, no matter what they do you will not budge, It's like you believe that your opinion is fact, and that your opinion is final, and then you act arrogant and condescending to anyone that disagrees with said opinion.

Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I certainly will if I'm told my criticism stems from an incident 2 years back as opposed to him costing us goals every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Shit today and has been for the last two years. We've already signed his replacement so get MYM in the team Pardew you odious little cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Colocinni seems to have played most of his time with us with at least two footballers who struggle in possession sharing the back positions. Dummet and Williamson at the moment being the two that cannot create from the back. It must be a massive burden for a player like Colocinni when you have to try and do it alone. I thought he was excellent today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymc1 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I certainly will if I'm told my criticism stems from an incident 2 years back as opposed to him costing us goals every week. October 2012 - "Best CB in the league"; "I hope we knock down an estate to build a statue of him" January 2013 - "Lost all my respect for him. Great footballer but not fit to wear the shirt or the armband"; "Great player but a poor leader." February 2013 - "He made stupid errors for both goals, it's as simple as that. Physically he's not what he was and we're suffering" March 2013 - "I don't think he gives a s*** anymore"; "He's not looked right for the vast majority of the season" I don't need to look any further through as all you've done in this thread since then is slate the bloke. You called him a GREAT player in January 2013 when the news of him wanting to go back to Argentina broke. The just two month later you stated that he hadn't looked right for the majority of the season, the same season you called him the best CB in the league. There is no doubt in my mind that your opinion on him as a footballer is swayed by what happened with San Lorenzo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Becoming more of a liability with every passing game. He's been phenomenal and I quite like the bloke but he's not beyond criticism, he's been responsible for loads of goals over the last 2 seasons. Needs phasing out but it won't happen due to his standing in the club, the lack of quality in his position and the unwillingness to invest in the most important area of the team imo.

I've proven how your opinion massively changed after the San Lorenzo incident yet you're still adamant it has nothing to do with that. Less than your magical "2 year ago", you called him the best CB in the league man. Defend that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I don't have to. I was one of the biggest Colo fans on here till proved just how useless he is as a captain when we needed him most and his defending has been getting worse ever since. He's an absolute laughing stock with other fans now. You'll find plenty of people on here who rated him massively 2 seasons ago who no longer want him anywhere near the team.

In a perfect world we'd have two/three better centre halfs but the reality is we don't. Until we invest in an improvement he's the best option we have, he's certainly not a Rozenhal or Boumsong like you make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 As I said a week ago, he's brilliant on the ball and very adept at making interceptions but when physical attributes play a part he's totally there for the taking, be it Edin Dzeko or Leroy Fer up against him.

He coped fairly well today but was caught out by a brilliant piece of skill by Dzeko. I personally think he'll do ok this season as he'll not be playing against that type of quality every week. But, that is just my opinion. We'll see how it plays out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
