Dr Venkman Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 He thinks and acts very very quickly now when the ball's played into him, he's starting to look totally at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Class today. Can do the sort of one touch pass and move stuff that our midfield hasn't seen in a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's no surprise at all that he's looked a million times better when Krul isn't wasting possession with the long ball stuff. Really hope Cabaye won't just come straight back in for him. There's room for them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Cabaye was pretty anonymous for his first few appearances and he was playing in a much more functional team. Think it's just a matter of time for Anita. All of his problems seem to stem from lack of understanding rather than lack of ability. I will allow myself one smug "I was right" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Class player. Once we are a decent team he could be fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Stick Anita in a 5 man midfield with Perch instead of Tiote (on current form), Marveaux, Cabaye (when fit) and Ben Arfa and we'll do OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Tiote was better today, then earlier atleast, not wasting as much possesion, alot of simple passes instead of the hollywood stuff he had going. Working to break up play and protect the back four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Tiote second half was good, first half his usual, he seemed to be dropping back and keeping it simple while Anita was forward more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hate to be one of those guys that calls people out on things they've said in the past, but I knew this guy was quality and genuinely couldn't believe the likes of HTT writing this kid off within a few europa league apps and some 20 minute spells in the prem. Clearly technically better than every player minus maybe Colo and Ben Arfa. His one touch passing and versatility in defending and attacking moves means for me he was clearly MOTM today.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Excellent today, his one touch play around the box is fantastic and something we should really try to build on. I always thought he was a good player, but not as diverse as he's shown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Anita, Sissoko, Cabaye central 3 is the future tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 He's great. Love that he tries to play 1 touch football as an instinct. Can't wait for that lifetime of footballing education to be battered out of him in 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just love how he keeps it simple, allways trying to be an out for the other players. I allways thought of him as a defensive player, but he has shown that he got a few words to tell further up the pitch aswell. Absolutely love him when he drops deep to pick it up from Krul though.

Guest neesy111 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 He's our best midfielder IMO. The only one that tries to do stuff. Midfield of him, tutor and marveaux please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Showing his quality now. Thought it would take longer for him to settle especially with the way the whole team was playing this year but he is one of the key reasons now why we have improved somewhat in our last few games.

timeEd32 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Excellent player. Not sure why anyone doubted him - we don't spend money on subpar players. Unfortunately, we just don't like to spend money very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we just don't like to spend money very often. Same reason people don't understand tactics and styles of play, they spend 90 minutes watching players and don't watch the team.
