Pata Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 His best football for us was in a midfield 3 with Cabaye and Tiote. Cabaye could play the killer attacking ball, Tiote the physical enforcer and Anita just distributes the ball and keeps possession ticking over. We won a lot of games in the first half of last season like this. However, as part of a midfield 2 as you said he looks absolute garbage. He could afford to be a passenger with Cabaye and Tiote. Both him and Colback were absolutely woeful today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 He's making it very easy for Pardew to make Colback his preferred option unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's neat and tidy but is too little and easily outmuscled. He's not been playing well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither one is really better than the other. They're both have a couple of marginally above average qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback has been poor, Anita's shown nothing to change Pardew's mind on the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows that he can play a blinder and Colback can continue to be Colback and he's still gonna be the one who loses out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The thing about Anita is that people assume he has another gear that he's not showing because of Pardew. I'm sure he'd be slightly better under a vaguely competent manager just like every other player, but I think we've seen enough now to decide that what we see is probably what he is: a thoroughly average Premiership midfielder.
