The College Dropout Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Such a great DM, the man that is closest to him at the beginning of the attacks scores both West Hams goals. Bang average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Still have no idea what he's supposed to contribute. I think he's an Emperor's New Clothes player for many on this forum. Keep telling yourself that because nobody actually thinks that, because most consider him our best DM which isn't hard don't mean we think he's the best thing ever. A large number think he's miles better than Colback and then there's stuff like "Anita's been criticised by quite a few, most of them without any vision" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 he and colback are pretty interchangeable not much if any difference between them imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large number think he's miles better than Colback and then there's stuff like "Anita's been criticised by quite a few, most of them without any vision" In that position yes, because Colback is incapable of playing that position because his positional awareness is disgustingly crap. Up to me i'd get rid of both, my biggest stance on it is though is Anita is actually a DM and positions himself properly most of the time, Colback is a CM in the Gosling mould although obviously he's not Gosling bad and can't play DM to save his life.

Doctor Zaius Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Getting close, if not made it to 100 appearances in a Newcastle shirt. Whens he going to start showing anything? People used to blame Pardews style of football, which obviously no doubt didnt suit him, but we had 61% possession tonight and he was still s****.

Dave Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Gash like the rest of them. I believe his potential is higher than Colback's, that's the only reason I rate him any higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fundamentally different players as well mind. Anita is more of a ball playing anchor where as colback is more of a box to box central midfielder. Obviously neither of them excel at the roles they are meant to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not sure why they are compared anyway, as you say one is a DM and the other is a B2B CM. That's my stand point anyway, it's not like i rate Anita that highly i just rate him higher as a DM as we have better CMs than Colback anyway.

triggs Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He is capable of some good performances but doesn't show it often. A lot of people here seem to overrate him imo. I didn't see the game tonight though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my stand point anyway, it's not like i rate Anita that highly i just rate him higher as a DM as we have better CMs than Colback anyway. yeah, they are different players but you have the same problem with each of them (especially when played together) in that they both cannot effect our attacking play at all, I assume that's what Dave getting at anyway. We're not only lacking in penetration from midfield when we play them both there but we're also lacking up top too by dropping De Jong/Perez/Aarons etc. It's mental.

They currently play together in the same holding role, that's why they're compared. Every single match. If neither are suited to that or they're incompatible, that's for the manager to resolve. Instead people like to come into this thread and ask why Anita gets overrated. Edit: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I like Vurn, but I see him being absolutely useless if he's paired with Colback. Who is also useless. Our "2" needs to be a 3, or it needs to be 2 new people. Neither can tackle great, or make a killer pass, they are cogs and sort of not good ones to our overall effectiveness on both ends of the pitch.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yeah that's McClaren's fault and hopefully he see's it, if tonight didn't make him see it i fear he never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not even fussed about that now tbh, as long as Wijnaldum is playing CM, Perez is starting along with De Jong i can live with the ginger twat despite my feelings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thought he had a decent game tbh, third best NUFC player after Janmaat and Mbemba not that that's saying a lot. If he had someone as average as him next to him, he wouldn't look anywhere near as shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Will not work out here because he's got a ginger albatross on his neck. Just throw them both off a cliff into the deepest of seas. Fed up with them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'd love to know who scouted Anita and thought we should fork out nearly £7m for him by the way. Lunacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The reason why he slightly edges it for me is because we've seen in a brief spell with a decent midfield partner he can do a job. I've seen nowt at all to think Colback would do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
