Say what you will about his performance but he understands the role infinitely more than Tioté, who is going to be little more than useless in this system.

 

Hope he's ok.

some of his distribution was poor today but the moment he went off things went south, not for the first time either tbh

Twice the player Colback is, too.

He wasn't that great as an individual, but he makes the whole team so much better just by being there. Tiote fucked the whole entire team up.

 

it's his movement when he doesn't have the ball, it's always been his strength tbh it just made no odds in a pardew team

 

noticed mbemba doing similar stuff at the back today actually

Agree, some were on his back and he wasn't having his finest game, but without him on the pitch his influence is clear, keeps pace and possesion up. Unfortunately looked a little lacking in focus today and gave ball away way too many times. Hope he's not badly injured though, suspect he'll be on sidelines for a bit though. Maybe prompt club into signing a new deep midfielder? Tiote looked clueless when he came on

He's so quick around the pitch, a massive difference to Colback.

 

this is something that seems to get overlooked at lot

 

colback is a nightmare man, he must be blackmailing someone

 

I'm really hoping that McClaren has seen this also and makes Anita a central cog in this team. Having him in the same team as Colback is pointless though. I don't know if it was just me, but it looked like he was playing further forward than Colback.

i thought the other way, first half anyway when i could watch it a bit better, thought colback was the further forward of the two and anita was looking for the ball a bit deeper

 

hard to tell on a shite stream tbh

The game changed because we ran out of legs. Anita did ok but made some very sloppy passes which could have been punished. After 75 mins we were dead on our feet and De Jong longs weeks away from fitness
