mrmojorisin75 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Never been his biggest fan but he's really impressed me at right back. He's a pretty intelligent player but was never physical enough to play in the middle in this league. However full back is one of those positions where you can get away with being 5'6" and 9 stone wet through and I think he's clever enough to retrain in that position. aye, one thing he's always had is good timing in the tackle and that'll certainly help him if we decide to deploy him at FB going forward he could probably cover on the left as well which would be a bonus over daywalker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ultimately the most impressive thing about Anita for me is that he's been totally up for this fight whereas Janmaat, even with all his theatrics and chest beating, has bottled it. Anita had his best game for us against WH last year when also playing at RB IIRC and he epitomised the bravery and determination we needed to win that game and stay up. Considering how Anita has been shuffled around and out of the team he's been a model pro all the time he's been here TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly has a balanced personality but he doesn't have that spirit of determination on the pitch a model pro needs. He is doing well at right back now tho. I've gone from wanting to punch him in the face to wanting him to continue at right back for the foreseeable future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Think it's fair to say that having Rafa as manager and the trust Rafa has put in him has helped improved his confidence and he's playing by giving his all. Sure maybe when Rafa first came and put him in the center of midfield, it didn't quite work out well but anyone would struggle playing alongside finger-pointing Shelvey or the ginger Pirlo. Glad that he seems to be ok for Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita had his best game for us against WH last year when also playing at RB IIRC and he epitomised the bravery and determination we needed to win that game and stay up. This is key for me. He's had bad games before, but he always gives 100% and doesn't hide, no matter what position you play him. Long term he's probably not good enough, but he fully deserves to be in the side on merit in our current position. If we had his attitude throughout the squad we would never have been in this position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Him, Dummet, Darlow, Lascelles and Colback have been really good under Rafa - surprisingly so. Dummet and Colback are extremely limited ability wise, shite in fact, but I think Rafa is someone who can make them become competent players within a certain system.

Sho Time Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 He's performed exceptionally well considering the circumstances but there's no way in hell we should even consider him being our RB (or anywhere in the starting XI) next season. If we stay up anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummet and Colback are extremely limited ability wise, shite in fact, but I think Rafa is someone who can make them become competent players within a certain system. If we stay up I think Rafa will be looking to replace Colback. He's doing okay at the moment in that he at least knows how to stick to instructions and keep to the team formation, but even then he is regularly being caught short of pace and ends up tugging players down to stop them getting past him. If we go down then yeah, Colback would be fine for a championship side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I bet Townsend and Lascelles are probably making the strongest cases for being key starters next season and likely Sissoko too (who I think Rafa sees massive potential in). The rest are all up in the air IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
