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...

Dr Venkman 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. Same reason people don't understand tactics and styles of play, they spend 90 minutes watching players and don't watch the team.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Will play well with Cabaye back in the midfield too. Top class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Perch: 'We haven't seen the best of Anita' 8:00am Thursday 20th December 2012 in Sport By Scott Wilson JAMES Perch expects Newcastle United team-mate Vurnon Anita to be even more effective in the second half of the season. After initially struggling to acclimatise following his summer move from Ajax, Anita has gradually found his feet in the last couple of matches. He produced his best display in a Newcastle shirt in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, but Perch is confident there is still more to come from the diminutive midfielder. With Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa both unavailable, Anita will keep his place in the starting line-up for this weekend's home game with QPR, and the Dutchman is set to become a key player in the second half of the season. "He's only young," said Perch. "He's 23 and he's come from the Dutch league, which is probably the most relaxed league in Europe. You get a lot of time on the ball over there and the intensity is nothing like as quick. "We've talked about it and he says the intensity is the biggest difference. It takes time to get used to it, and that's the same for most players. "There are players in the Man City team who cost £25m but it still took them a few games to get used to things. It is like that and it can be hard initially for the foreign players. He's been working hard in training though and now hopefully he'll start reaping his rewards." Last weekend's defeat sent Newcastle tumbling to 15th in the table, and with Christmas trips to Manchester United and Arsenal looming large, Saturday's home game with QPR has assumed great importance. Harry Redknapp's side only recorded their first league win of the season at the weekend, but Perch insists the Magpies cannot afford to take anything for granted after recent home defeats to West Ham and Swansea. "The Christmas games look tough, so that makes this weekend's game all the more important, but the QPR match is going to be a tough game as well," he said."They've got a new manager and a good squad, and although things haven't gone well for them this year, they'll be looking to turn things around. "But every game here at St James' is a game we think we're going to win, and QPR is no different. "When teams come here, it's an intimidating place because we have 50,000 Geordies on our side. When things are going well, they are like the 12th man. We used that to our advantage against Wigan (when Newcastle won 3-0), and we'll be hoping to do so again against QPR." http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/10118452.Perch___We_haven_t_seen_the_best_of_Anita_/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Set-pieces are excellent. For the first time in fuck knows how long, there's a bit of anticipation that we might actually score from a corner now the past few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 really looking forward to watching him with cabaye an ben arfa. he's now came to terms with the pace of the game thought wise, physicality still needs work as he was blowing a little at times yesterday however, keep an eye on him when we have possession as he's constantly moving.

Guest diddimz Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Was apprehensive when we signed him, thought he was more of what we've got. He's really impressed me so far, glad we've got him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Nice to see he's getting 90minutes as standard now, he's the only midfielder we have at present who keeps us ticking over with his use of the ball. He'll be an important player over this next month, no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Surprised he has only got 8 career goals as he get's himself into good positions in the box. Maybe he wasn't giving much freedom at Ajax, haven't got a clue tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 He's nicely inbetween Tiote and Cabaye in terms of a player. Great skill and tenacity and looking forward to seeing him play with Cabaye when he's back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've called this one along time ago. IMO Anita will become a better player than both Cabaye and Tiote. I believe he will be more influential and consistent. Have all three only played once together? Bordeaux? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
