triggs Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He is capable of some good performances but doesn't show it often. A lot of people here seem to overrate him imo. I didn't see the game tonight though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not sure why they are compared anyway, as you say one is a DM and the other is a B2B CM. That's my stand point anyway, it's not like i rate Anita that highly i just rate him higher as a DM as we have better CMs than Colback anyway. yeah, they are different players but you have the same problem with each of them (especially when played together) in that they both cannot effect our attacking play at all, I assume that's what Dave getting at anyway. We're not only lacking in penetration from midfield when we play them both there but we're also lacking up top too by dropping De Jong/Perez/Aarons etc. It's mental.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I understand what Dave was getting at, just a sweeping statement really wasn't really particularly aimed at his post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my stand point anyway, it's not like i rate Anita that highly i just rate him higher as a DM as we have better CMs than Colback anyway. They currently play together in the same holding role, that's why they're compared. Every single match. If neither are suited to that or they're incompatible, that's for the manager to resolve. Instead people like to come into this thread and ask why Anita gets overrated. Edit: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I like Vurn, but I see him being absolutely useless if he's paired with Colback. Who is also useless. Our "2" needs to be a 3, or it needs to be 2 new people. Neither can tackle great, or make a killer pass, they are cogs and sort of not good ones to our overall effectiveness on both ends of the pitch.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yeah that's McClaren's fault and hopefully he see's it, if tonight didn't make him see it i fear he never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not even fussed about that now tbh, as long as Wijnaldum is playing CM, Perez is starting along with De Jong i can live with the ginger twat despite my feelings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thought he had a decent game tbh, third best NUFC player after Janmaat and Mbemba not that that's saying a lot. If he had someone as average as him next to him, he wouldn't look anywhere near as shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Will not work out here because he's got a ginger albatross on his neck. Just throw them both off a cliff into the deepest of seas. Fed up with them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'd love to know who scouted Anita and thought we should fork out nearly £7m for him by the way. Lunacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The reason why he slightly edges it for me is because we've seen in a brief spell with a decent midfield partner he can do a job. I've seen nowt at all to think Colback would do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'd love to know who scouted Anita and thought we should fork out nearly £7m for him by the way. Lunacy. When £7 million was still of some value too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 A bit better than Colback atm but potential to improve if playing alongside someone who is not a worse version of himself. About sums him up for me. Neither should vs Watford. Sissoko and Wijnaldum CM pairing and the rest should be attackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Best DM my arse. I have said before this guy can't defend. If he cannot play like a Pirlo and consistently cost us goals as a DM he should simply playing somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 At least he has the ability to pass forward. Would take him over ginger any day of the week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thought he was half decent last night, must've been watching the wrong game. He was better than the ginger Pirlo, that's for sure. Whether he was a good signing is a different matter, but between the two of them I know which one I would ditch first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
