Gallowgate Toon Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 As with Marveaux, I'd like to see his creativity while we've actually got a capable, moving striker on the pitch. Nobody thinks faster in our team than Vurnon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Got a bit confidence going by the looks of it, hope he gets the run he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I love this guy. He is a beautifully uncomplicated and simple player, who understands the importance of not overdoing things in his position. He makes sure he is always available for the pass, particularly when the defenders have the ball. He then takes on the responsibility of playing short and forward passes on the ground (!) to get our more creative players on the ball. Classy little player, who actually engages his brain on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Tidy player. Makes crisp passes, recycles the ball, and keeps the game flowing. Should have been starting long before now. If Pardew drops him for Tiote or Jonas, it'll be a crime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Still fear a proper physical battle with him in the side anchoring. Berbatov nicked it off him with such ease. He had a lot of time on the ball today and he used the ball well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Really is his season especially now if Cabaye is off, even if he's not I doubt Pardew will feel Cabaye starts every game now without question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot of time on the ball today and he used the ball well. That happened what, twice? Sounds more like confirmation bias than anything, people just waiting to see Anita lose possession so they can claim he's weak. It's hardly as if Anita is coughing up possession as soon as any player larger than himself approaches. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in positioning and footwork. Far better defender than the bigger and "tougher" Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 We don't need Anita to be more creative at all. We started saying that about tiote and look how that worked out. We just need Anita to keep doing what he's been doing and let the actual creative players we have do the creating . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need Anita to keep doing what he's been doing and let the actual creative players we have do the creating . and as we get more players going forward, more gaps appear giving more options to play passes that dont have to be 'eye of the needle'.
