Dokko Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 He's been fine apart from the penalty, harsh lesson but he's also tracked Hazard well and kept him relatively quiet. He's a good player and it's not been a mess of a debut.  One assist, one goal in one half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesyJazz Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Looks like an improvement from Tiote at first sight. Even if you are sarcastic, what the actual f***. Imho he's not up to speed with Prem football as yet,his positioning is poor along with his distribution when in possesion of the ball.Give him time and I'm sure there's a decent player waiting to shine.Really feeling for the lad today but to write him off now as some did with Perch n Colo in the early days is too premature.

Dokko Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Not sure if people are being serious   I think this guy might be awesome.  I'm sure he will. Good thing for him he'll get games in the middle to grow in to the league. Tiote is always broken and Cabaye loves to give himself an enforced holiday with the odd sending off.

He's a good player and it's not been a mess of a debut.  One assist, one goal in one half  An assist being a simple pass and the goal being a penalty? He's had the odd moment in the half but he's hardly shredded us to pieces like some are suggesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was canny shit in that spell, but im not going to lose sight in that its his debut, against a good side with unknown attacking quality and he had 90mins in mad heat 48 hours ago.  I don't think anyone is assigning him to the scrap heap after one game, but you can only comment on what you've seen.

There's nothing wrong with tbh  Why should he be covering the pass when Hazard was with the 2 centre backs on the edge of the box? Also being 'kept quiet' refers to open play not penalties, a spot kick that Hazard didn't win I might add. He nicked it off him a good 4 or 5 times and tracked him endlessly, to put it simply he did the majority of his role well and wasn't disastrous at all.

Jayson Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 He'll come good, learnt a lesson today. Cabaye gave a pen away in one of his first games last season aswell or a backpass that lead to one anyway. Cant remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pen is still his fault whichever way your try to gloss it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 So Anita should have been tracking Hazard on the edge of the the box while a CB was already marking him? That would have left us with a bit of a numerical disadvantage. Whatever way you try to gloss it, Hazard scoring a penalty has no relation at all with Anita keeping him fairly quiet in open play for large parts of the game, this isn't particularly difficult to comprehend.

Dokko Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 So when hazard is around him it's Anita's ability that shines, when he's not it's someone else's fault, while the rest of what he does that game doesn't matter?   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I thought he was poor, it doesn't matter why, he's barely been here 2 weeks. He'll come good man, he's showed glimpses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
