Boey_Jarton Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Used to think he was anonymous off the ball but today he put controlled pressure on the opposition, whilst staying on his feet and not overly committing. Good performance. what? it's literally always been the strongest part of his game I've always thought his best attributes were keeping the ball moving, recycling possession and dropping deep to pick the ball up from the back.

A lot questioned his physicality for this league along with his overall ability to play football. Even on here when I said during pre-season Anita would be a key player under McClaren and show how good he actually is, it was rubbished off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It doesn't feel like that in the ground. Colback seems far more popular amongst fans than Anita. Even though Anita has much more ability than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Most I've spoken to don't rate him claiming hes too weak etc... I always stuck up for him to the point where it annoys the people who don't rate him, and they think I'm mental when I say I don't rate Colback. At matches even when Colback gets the ball and passes it 5 yards he gets a round of applause as if hes just delivered a ridiculous outrageous pass. One of the main reasons I dislike him, hes a bang average CM who gets treated like hes Scholes mk 2 by our fans. Anita was oustanding again on Saturday, hes turning into a class little player, his attacking game is growing also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think the "on the ground" view is changing. Colback was more effective than Anita under the Pardew/Carver "system". Anita struggled, no two ways about it. I heard a few opinions in the pub I was in on Saturday that Colback was struggling with McClaren's system / McClaren has a "dutch style" that suits Anita / little Anita is a good footballer. But then again there was a cheer when Tiote came on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Anita has much more ability than him. That's because a lot of fans at the ground have about as much football knowledge as Lee Ryder.

Even social networking, you see far more praise for Colback than Anita. I'm surprised Anita has stuck around this long tbh. He's not had the backing of fans and his performances on the pitch have generally been way below standard because we never played to his strengths.

BrettNUFC Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No no he hasn't been that bad to get booed, yet [emoji2] Just get people standing up shouting at him, making out like any mistake is catastrophic because it's Anita. Happy when his number is up and he's going off first. Colback is treated like royalty compared to Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realise I'm a boring twat on this issue (and all others) but Colback performed at a higher level last season than Anita had in 3 seasons. Fans generally respond more favourably to the player delivering better performances. This season Anita has outshone Colback so far and I hope he continues to prove me wrong.

Tsunami Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He played well on Saturday after the first 15 where we were all over the place. He was certainly better than Colback but let's not pretend he's turned any kind of corner yet. Man U didn't put us under any kind of real pressure to get at our weaknesses. For that same reason Colo and Taylor had fairly comfortable games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that same reason Colo and Taylor had fairly comfortable games. what kind of corner does he have to turn like? he's a footballer who can play football, now that we're playing football he's starting to look a decent midfielder and will continue to do so as long as we play to his strengths and not his weaknesses as we'd done for the entirety of his time with us but yeah of course, if we send him out to face a strong, physical midfield on his his own he'll get overran so it'd probably be a good idea for us not to do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
