Varadi Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It'll be Colback though, we all know that. Not necessarily - we know Pardew loved him like a son but there's always a chance Carver might have a different opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily - we know Pardew loved him like a son but there's always a chance Carver might have a different opinion. I doubt it. Colback didn't have a good game yesterday, but of our midfield players, he is the best distributor of the ball. The competition for that isn't great, but there it is.

Smal Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Colback's passing is absolutely zero in comparison to Anita's. At least Vurnon's normally has a genuine purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Colback's is usually more ambitious, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Comparison is moot IMO, Anita can only really play in front of the back 4 and Colback doesn't have the discipline to play that deep. At the end of the day, neither should start when everyone is available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It should be Abeid and sissoko central with Abeid deeper and Moussa playing more box to box with De Jong advanced. We actually have a decent front 6 and fullbacks I am happy with. Front three with Cisse through the middle and Cabella and Aarons out wide. Possibly Ayoze roaring with Aarons but I think Ayoze would be best playing as a second striker with cisse and us going 442 but I think what we have available suits 433 even if it means Ayoze getting a bit less playing time. I don't think it will hamper his development if he doesn't start every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Probably end up at fullback at some point in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm a member of the Anita fan club, but what's the point in playing him when were attempting head tennis in the land of the giants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Invisible. Didn't notice he was on the pitch. Off the ball he is atrocious. Really looks like he vodnt give a fuck, or he is clueless about football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Invisible. Didn't notice he was on the pitch. Off the ball he is atrocious. Really looks like he vodnt give a f***, or he is clueless about football. You clearly just follow the football then, try watching how he occupies space and intercepts play. He regularly was the one who cut the ball out right on or even in the box and cleared the ball away, or started a move down the pitch. Again, I would rather Abeid started over him and Colback, but what you have just posted is absolutely nonsensical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rent-A-Quote Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just back in from the match. I love the trolls/mackems like Recoba and Rustin Cohle who clearly don't understand football.. All you have to do is watch him live and you will appreciate what he does. But they clearly don't go to matches or they wouldn't slag him off. Oh, and he went off and we collapsed in midfield...coincidence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I thought he had one of his better games today, he only looks bad when a high ball comes towards him. We just have to accept that. He offered himself off the ball all the time and kept us ticking over well. He's very disciplined as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 If we're going to play with a front 3 on the counter im not sure what he's going to bring to the table. This is exactly it. He's basically a good footballer but I do think his strengths and weaknesses are all wrong for the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only viable role for him as the anchor in midfield covering attacking central midfielders and marauding fullbacks only problem is he lacks the strength to impose himself in the role.

loki679 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'd have him ahead of Colback and Tiote but ultimately i'd hope we're looking to go 4-3-3 with Sissoko, Abeid and De Jong making up the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rent-A-Quote Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Let's just forget we don't play a "front three", so we can pretend Anita doesn't fit in, eh? He's better than Colback and Tiote. The lad saying De Jong will ideally play there...what planet are they on? De Jong is not a central midfielder. De Jong is a number 10 who got played up front in Holland because it's an easier league. So many delusions of grandeur. A front three...HA HA we are the most negative team in the league. We only play on the counter because we're negative in possession...players like Anita let you hold on to the ball and he doesn't hide like Colback the coward. The only real problem people seem to have with Anita is he's not 'big enough' for the prem. Surely it's time we got away from these big cloggers who chop people down like Tiote and played people based on their footballing ability? He done well until he got hooked, for Cisse who did zero. No surpise the midfield got over-ran. For me, it's Anita OR Colback and I'd pick Vurn every time. Vurn and Abeid central midfield pair. Sissoko is too undisciplined to play there and he's off soon anyway. De Jong will take his number 10 role and we'll go back to one up front, with Gouffran and Ameobi on the wings. Proper big lads.

The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You lost me at "doesn't hide". He does it frequently. He's good at helping out full backs but often lets CM runners jog past him. He doesn't make a big effort to show for the ball. His passing is fairly quick and crisp but not enough of them are forward. He doesn't even run forwards with the ball to get us up the pitch. He makes covering the pitch look like such hard work. He has zero presence in midfield. He'll not contest headers from the oppositions goal kicks or clearances giving the other team momentum. He's no better than Jack & Tiote. We are a slow, small and weak team. It's awful to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
