I think it's a bit unfair to say the first goal was his fault. Williamson was caught out by the ball over the top so Colo had to go with Dzeko , when Williamson saw that Colo had covered Dzeko,he should have covered for Colo 's original position in the middle and let Colo deal with Dzeko IMO.

 

For the second I thought he did well initially to keep Aguero from turning onto his right but didn't anticipate the rebound at all which was an error.

 

I can't comment on his performance in general because I only saw highlights

We need to refresh our CB position. Coloccini,Williamson and Saylor have been in the club for long time and its surprise me how some still think they worth something,it won't happen this season but hope they won't be here next summer

Actually now that I see it again why was he so far behind the rest of the defence in the defensive line on the second goal ?

Not that I'm that fussed either way, but the way some people have talked about Mbiwa in here is weird. He's 25, and played nearly 200 games for Montpellier - not to mention he's actually been at Newcastle for a while. It would hardly be rushing him in.

It wasn't solely his fault, Silva's goal was a calamity of errors from all 3 involved.

 

Colo included.

I don't think he did much wrong at all really for the first. He should have probably shouted at Williamson to cover him but Williamson should have known anyway when he saw Colo with Dzeko

I thought the positioning for the first goal was horrible personally, he needed to trust Williamson.

 

Seems to be a lack of trust and communication right throughout the defense, even Krul looked nervous and  hesitant coming off his line that lead to a few close calls.

Can't believe people are excusing him for that first goal because it was brilliant play by Dzeko.

 

He had his back to goal, only one player needed to go to him, it's that simple.

And because Williamson was out of position Colo was closest to Dzeko so had to go to him

Just watched the goals. The first is Williamson's fault, Dzeko is Coloccini's man. Colo has to come across with Dzeko, and as soon as the ball gets behind Willo he should have bust a gut to cover Colo. Instead, he gets in his way. There's an argument that maybe Colo does not communicate well enough, and obviously that someone should have tracked back with Silva, but i'd say Willo is more at fault than Colo.

:thup: All Colo is at fault for is lack of communication and Williamson shouldn't have needed to be shouted at to cover Colo anyway

If Dzeko is Colo's man then he gets away from him far too easily anyway. It's amazing how many people just want to put their head in the sand and pretend we don't have one of the worst defences in the division.

Fair play to him, he's just doing whatever the fuck he wants. Pretty much sums the club up.

 

An international break after a poor start and you have:

Key player fucking off on holiday

Manager goading the fans

A board more interested in who's saying nasty things about them in the press and putting up more tatty signs

 

No wonder fans are fucking the club off in all directions. It's pathetic.

That article makes it look like Coloccini is responsible for Ben Arfa getting the boot.  I think it's more damning if true because it means the captain is managing, not the manager.  Pardew should have told Coloccini to get back to working on his own game.  John Beresford used to moan at Keegan that he didn't get any help from Ginola and Keegan rightly told Beresford where to go.

Remember that Villa game when Kev just brought him straight off in the first half for moaning[emoji1]
