captainhaircut Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'd quite like to see him in a tucked in right midfield position. He's shown very good crossing ability, he's quick and we know he could drop in nicely while Santon bombed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bloody hell he's still getting used to pace of the prem of course he's not going to be a world beater. This place after a loss man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Blatantly struggling and will do until he grows back the Davids style dreads. Guthrie comparisons are unfair Anita is a defensive midfielder that sits in front of the back four and tidys up. Guthrie was a deep lying playmaker or attacking midfielder. I'm bot worried about Anita, I think he will be important for in the future. We desperately need another classy playmaker though, either to move Ben Arfa centrally and bring in a winger or to offer us more through the middle.

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 From what I've seen of Anita I reckon he has what it takes to become a huge success with us, give him time before he starts putting in worldies week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Bedding him in. not all of them hit the ground running, i expect him to be a lot like Santon tbh in his learning process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Santon was only 20 to be fair. I'd liked to have seen him replace Jonas today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 My worry for this guy is that we prefer Perch to him in the defensive midfield role. And Bigirimana too. Add to that he supposedly doesn't want to play fullback and you start to wonder why we didn't just spend the £8m on Debuchy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Anita is only 23 and quite frankly less experienced than Santon at the top level and having to learn his role in the minefield that is the modern day midfield. Some people need more time than others they can't all be Cabaye, Cisse etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He doesn't have the psychical ability for the defensive midfield role in the Premiership, at RB he's an option once he's been bedded in but not in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Anita will become good for us, give him some time to settle lads. My guess is that he was bought in as a 3rd midfielder in a 433. I still believe 433 was our intention this year (call me naive), but due to injuries/form Pardew have used 442 as he is more content with it. No one could see Bigi taking to the level as he have done, so it leaves us with Jonas - Bigi - Anita - Perch fighting for the last spot. Jonas is better at CM tbh, but not a specialized CM, Perch is a potato, he can play anywhere. Anita will use this season to learn his trade, Europa league, FA cup matches and a odd league match. He looks good at RB to, so he can also be used there to gain experience. And i disagree with the physical size card being played, there are many other aspects who is more important for a DM, reading of the game, interceptions, pace, timing, aggression. I am in no doubt after seeing him a couple of times now, that he has what it takes to make it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny1982 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If he's putting in extra gym sessions I would think his position here will be cm but has been told he's not ready yet! He needs to be given a chance at some stage tho now tiote is banned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
