Ketsbaia Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Much better RB than Simpson ever will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like we did sign a RB Simpson will be back at RB ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I won't accept him as right back solely on the basis I argued he wasn't signed as a full back Did alright though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He was class at RB.. brilliant loved him winning headers being so small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like we've found our short-term contingency plan. Anita at RB for the time being (or in Simpson's absence) will do nicely, played well there today and his deliveries were decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Miles better than Simpson at RB. Hardly surprising but we looked much better with him there. I suspect Perch will play there if he is fit and Simpson's injury is a bad one, but Anita isn't a bad contingency plan at the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 looked class at full back, anonymous in central midfield really hope he doesnt have too much of a problem being played there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Anita's a good footballer, much like Cabaye, playing him central in a 4-4-2 is a waste of time. Looked a useful full back, actually knew how to bomb forward and put in the odd decent ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We didn't really get to see his defensive side at right back cos Villa were awful but going forward he's an upgrade on Simpson. If Simpson is injured (and even if he's not) I think this lad needs to be considered at RB, especially when Tiote is back. Or left back for that matter with Santon right.

duo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thought it was LB he's played at but looked good at RB. Played well especially when he switched to RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 When Tiote's back I'd play him over Cabaye. Noticed today that he tended to dart forward sometimes and give Villa a man free to pass to when he was playing in the middle. Let Tiote sweep things like that up behind him and Anita could do just fine there I reckon. His versatility is great in that he can cover in positions where players might need a kick up the arse.

Dr Venkman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If he doesn't want to play full back long term he went about it the wrong way today, he was great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Almost scored didn't he? Was at the opposite end to me so couldn't see to well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Almost scored didn't he? Was at the opposite end to me so couldn't see to well. Was a decent effort as he had to hit it first time but it wasn't going to go in. Keeper had it covered if it was creeping inside the post. Good technique though, Tiote would have lofted it well into the stands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Makes more sense to have him on the left and Santon right? We looked a threat down the right though once he moved there. Thought he was top class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Makes more sense to have him on the left and Santon right? We looked a threat down the right though once he moved there. Thought he was top class Guess it's just a case of not wanting to make two changes when one will do. Santon looks comfortable in his position IMO, I wouldn't want to tamper with it.

Thought he was top class Don't see what the obsession with putting Santon on the right is. Tbh I always thought Anita was left footed but he looks right footed to me.

He did mention in an interview that he'd be willing to play anywhere so yep, think we have our RB if Simpson's out for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If Perch is available I'd rather play him at right back and put Anita in a midfield 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
