Vurnon Anita (now playing for RKC Waalwijk)

[Wallsendmag]

I know it's not the done thing to criticise Anita on here as this is the only place you'll find people who actually rate him but he's dog sh*t in all fairness. The lack of posts about him after today's game speaks volumes.

 

That's quite a heap of dogshite that.

 

Read through this topic and you'll realise it's actually you who is talking dogshite.

What difference does it make if an opinion is on here? 

 

No difference. Just an observation. He's hopeless but gets more support on here than anywhere else. The first part is my opinion, the second part is fact.

[Tiresias]

I'm not totally convinced by him but seen enough to rate him over Tiote who is useless at the moment. However today he didn't show and he is completely unsuited for our style of play under Pardew however (he can pass the fucking ball)

[bhoywhonder]

Forgot he was on the pitch today. Twice. Which means I actually forgot that I had forgot that he was on the pitch.

He's hoop like. Part down to the clueless tit in charge but mostly down to him not adapting to the league. He lacks any stand out attribute as well. He's on a hiding to nothing staying here.

Pretty much this.

[Dave]

Totally unexpected turn of events this.

Aye, it's as if he's been Pardew'd.

[Smal]

I thought he was good for most of last year and was one of our better players. Then he got kicked out of the team for little reason. I thought it was a bit bizarre and he probably thinks so too.

[Geordie Ahmed]

I didn't think he was hopeless or hoop, certainly thought he was better than Colback (though that's hardly saying much)

 

His touch is very good and he thinks quickly, we need to implement a style to take advantage of him BUT got no hope with Pardew in charge

I don't think he really cares tbh. (Part of the problem)

I don't get that impression at all personally.

 

I don't think he's suited to our style of play though, he's a possession orientated player and our relationship with the ball is fleeting at best.

Is this from your ITK, LERL

I've never seen a performance from him which shows he cared, also coming from Ajax first team to sit on the bench for almost all season; if he cared he'd have kicked off and left by now.

 

We don't have a style of play, which is why he suffers more than most, but I just think the league doesn't suit him at all. He's too light to cope with the shitter teams and not good enough to make an impact against the bigger ones. He's a Swansea player, Southampton at a big big push, but really that's about as good as he is in this league. Bad signing for us, even worse move for him. Guess he's waiting on De Jong to come back to see if they can get an understanding going, but really that's the last roll of the dice for him here.

He'd shine at Swansea to be honest.

 

He needs to get on the ball and distribute it to players who are ahead of him.

 

He shows for the ball well and has good positional sense, if you noticed today he was the guy protecting the back four today (didn't work too well as colo likes to step out and leave massive gaps behind him).

Blunt but true.

 

About the lack of criticism not that hes dog shit, has never been given the kind of run that Colback has to really settle into the team IMO.

[sempuki]

Wasted here. Fly like a bird Vurnon.

[Deuce]

He's quite clearly a very good midfielder stuck with a manager who doesn't appreciate him. As with many of our players, he'd look great in a side that values playing actual football.

[Guest firetotheworks]

People are just sick of saying the same thing over and over again to people that don't rate Anita. More matches doesn't change the point.

This is 100% spot on about Anita.

[mrmojorisin75]

Calling Anita shite

 

He was the main reason we had a good spell last season and got things set up for Cabaye when he decided he would play for his move. Coincidentally it just happened to be a period when we were keeping the ball a lot, playing it on the floor and having decent possession stats. Strange that.

 

Shite

[AY]

I'm not totally convinced by him but seen enough to rate him over Tiote who is useless at the moment. However today he didn't show and he is completely unsuited for our style of play under Pardew however (he can pass the f***ing ball)

 

Quite often to a player in a red shirt yesterday. Can´t win the possession, positiones himself oddly (so did Colback too thou) and giving away possession cheaply. Played one good ball to Perez in the 2nd half iirc.

 

Sissoko was at fault for the first goal though

[Foluwashola]

Wouldn't go as far as shite but he has done absolutely nothing to deserve being labeled a 'very good midfielder'. Cabaye was a very good midfielder and was able to display as much despite the management. Didn't see much of his showing for the ball yesterday either. Passenger.

[The College Dropout]

I don't expect Anita to ever amount to much in this division. Genuinely not sure he can ever be more effective than Colback under Pardew.

[Ndegwa]

Agreed, I like Vurnon but I don't understand why people rate him so highly. He's a decent passer, no more no less. He gives the ball away far too much and has been learning that pointless fucking pirouette thing from Tiote. He hasn't been given an extended run in the side (Pardew logic) but when he's been given the chance, he seems to struggle with the simple things. If I was him I would leave.
