The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Still fear a proper physical battle with him in the side anchoring. Berbatov nicked it off him with such ease. He had a lot of time on the ball today and he used the ball well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Really is his season especially now if Cabaye is off, even if he's not I doubt Pardew will feel Cabaye starts every game now without question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot of time on the ball today and he used the ball well. That happened what, twice? Sounds more like confirmation bias than anything, people just waiting to see Anita lose possession so they can claim he's weak. It's hardly as if Anita is coughing up possession as soon as any player larger than himself approaches. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in positioning and footwork. Far better defender than the bigger and "tougher" Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 We don't need Anita to be more creative at all. We started saying that about tiote and look how that worked out. We just need Anita to keep doing what he's been doing and let the actual creative players we have do the creating . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need Anita to keep doing what he's been doing and let the actual creative players we have do the creating . and as we get more players going forward, more gaps appear giving more options to play passes that dont have to be 'eye of the needle'.

r0cafella Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Do what we know what his pass completion was today? I don't recall him giving it away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Tidy player. Makes crisp passes, recycles the ball, and keeps the game flowing. Should have been starting long before now. If Pardew drops him for Tiote or Jonas, it'll be a crime. He will though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Do what we know what his pass completion was today? I don't recall him giving it away once i can remember, bundled off the ball, not a failed pass. MotM for me till he went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers rich very impressive he saw plenty of the ball too. Marv stopped coming so deep when he realised Anita could play out from the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Needless to say i feel more safe with him in front of our back 4 than i do when Tiote plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita will never be a tackler to be honest. He takes up very good positions and jockeys his opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just feel more safe because he doesn't start opposition attacks by gifting them the ball every time he gets it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Playing though him instead of over him doesn't half make him and us look better. Indeed Such a lovely player who makes it look so simple. He doesn't hold on to the ball too long, gets it and gives it quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
