Vurnon Anita (now playing for RKC Waalwijk)

[Geordie Ahmed]

The thing about Anita is that people assume he has another gear that he's not showing because of Pardew.

 

I'm sure he'd be slightly better under a vaguely competent manager just like every other player, but I think we've seen enough now to decide that what we see is probably what he is: a thoroughly average Premiership midfielder.

 

He will never excel under Pardew, that much is clear since his style of play is completely at odds with Pardew

 

Anita's downside is that he isn't versatile, if the system is archaic and turgid you won't ever see the best of him

 

Think he would be class at Southampton or Swansea

[Jordan]

I maintain that you don't become a key member of a club like Ajax unless you have something about you. Anita's just in the wrong system like 99% of our players.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Someone should tell De Boer he's a nothing player. Lad has had some great games for us, he was even decent at the beginning of the season but was dropped as soon as Tiote came back. He looks underconfident and demoralised.

Luis Suarez.

 

[Leek]

I just really dont think hes a DM, especially in the PL. He needs to be able to get further up the pitch atleast in the opponents half and have a few capable players around him he can work off, players like Sissoko, Colback, Gouffran, Obertan arent really the players who complement Anitas play. Put Cabella, Marv, Sissoko and Tiote with Anita and I reckon hed a different player.

[Tooj]

He'd look mint playing for Swansea.

[Ashley17]

He'd look mint playing for Swansea.

 

Exactly, it's the wrong manager and probably the wrong club for him being here. He looked great last season when alongside Tiote and Cabaye. But he's not going to win games with a piece of "magic" so he's immediately useless to the king.

He looked great? You must have low standards.

Seems to happen a lot here, wonder what the cause is...

Maybe great is pushing it but he was getting a lot of praise for his neat and tidy work

[Varadi]

He was shite today mind, and hasn't had a good game in a long while.

 

You can debate what the causes might be, but the result is he just isn't performing.

[AY]

I think he was poor in the build for Adebayor´s goal, but then again almost the whole defence was shambles.

Alan Pardew;

 

“Sometimes it just falls into place and you have to be patient with foreign internationals. Even Vurnon Anita, who I have spoken to about the differences between Ajax and here.

 

“He feels he lacks control of the game at times. Of course, you have more time at Ajax. He has to adjust to this and be better when the opposition have the ball. Those little things take time.”

Been here over 2 years now. You think that would be long enough to adapt.

[DJ_NUFC]

He's adapted well enough. Just needs to be part of a team that plays the right sort of football. A dip in form at some point in time is natural for every player anyway. Pards has no problems playing dogshite players who never find form at all for us. Anita needs to be a fixture.

I agree with the King on this Anita needs more time. That doesn't mean we have to get rid.

[The College Dropout]

Haven't seen him have a good game in seemingly ages.

Imagine having to stand there while Pardew imparts his football knowledge on you, one-on-one.

It must take the will power of a saint not to laugh in his face.

From Ajax to Poleaxed. Can only imagine what sage advice he has for Siem De Jong.

[Guest zicomartin]

That just means he cant understand why when he passes to a team mate, they just hoof it straight to the opposition.

Of course he lacks control of the game, because the ball goes flying over his head all the time.

The Guru of Anti-Football preaching & sharing his clogger philosophy. Like how he lays a f***ing turd on a club that has proud tradition of producing technical & smart footballers (anti-Pardoo players) whose coaches instruct players where to move, what channels to run, to knock weighted passes into space because a player anticipates there will be movement.

 

What a stupid f***ing arsehole. Of course the lad felt he had control of the game, and alot of more time on the ball (over 90 mins) at  Ajax. They value f***ing possession football, and that doesn't mean a short bursts of deck passing in the back 1/3 followed by a backpass to the keeper.

 

What an ignorant piece of s*** he is. As for Anita. No ill feeling for the lad if he has lost his mojo now. A two year dose of Pardoo Football Culture Shock must be disheartening for a footballer with technical ability and a brain.

the thought of pardew even daring to tell someone who's trained at Ajax about football. I posted it in another thread but here's a good guide to Ajax's coaching principles:

Just imagine Pardew telling Vurn to forget everything he ever learned whilst developing at Ajax
