The College Dropout Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Janmaat is fucking shit. At a minimum I want a fullback to be committed to defending. Defensively aware, spotting and stopping danger. Janmaat doesn't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Would be a real blow if he misses out. His reading of the game is underrated and he makes good decisions. I don't mind Janmaat but he doesn't strike me as the type to be able to stick to a game plan. Anita knows when to make the forward run and when to hang back, when to go and try to nick the ball and when to stand off etc. Janmaat on the other hand only knows how to play the one way and he rash decisions have left us exposed on numerous occasions.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think he's the player that's improved the most under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thought Bolasie would cause him problems and Pardew clearly told his players to keep floating it towards Anita's area but thought he did very well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hope he's not too injured. Though Janmaat is back anyway I think. Rather Vurn played. If Anita's not fit we should go with Mbabu. I wouldn't trust Janmaat for even 5 mins. Vurn's been brilliant at RB btw, a big part of our defensive improvement, not to mention he's been pinging in some decent crosses.

Think you're right, i don't feel Janmaat even deserves to reclaim his place when fit. He simply wasn't good enough prior to his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 He's way better and faster than Janmaat chasing players back and hardly gives them time on the ball. Offensively, he can cross a ball in better than Janmaat. Really hope he's not injured. I've been less worried since he played RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Who'd be comfortable going into next season with him starting at RB? He's an upgrade on Janmaat so why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is he ok for Saturday? Don't have confidence in Janmaat if he returns. A little more faith in Mbabu for this Villa match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Who'd be comfortable going into next season with him starting at RB? Not me. He is doing a great job, and is great as a backup, but will be exposed over a season...........and way too small. Bottom half hoofball teams target him - ala Pardew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Who'd be comfortable going into next season with him starting at RB? So far I think I would. In either division. Think a striker, CM, LW, CB are priorities. And replacements for outgoing players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hope he's not too injured. Though Janmaat is back anyway I think. Rather Vurn played. Me too. With Janmaat taking up colbacks position in midfield alongside Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 There's ways of hiding him in terms of his inability in the air, especially with a master tactician like Benitez who will always do his utmost to hide a players weakness and amplify his strengths. I do agree that it's different to doing it over a long season than just a few games but we'll see how it goes, from a personal point of view i'm good enough with him to the point where i'm confident if he has to come in and do a job for half a dozen games then i don't think he'll let you down too often. But i would probably like to see a new RB with Anita as backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ultimately the most impressive thing about Anita for me is that he's been totally up for this fight whereas Janmaat, even with all his theatrics and chest beating, has bottled it. Anita had his best game for us against WH last year when also playing at RB IIRC and he epitomised the bravery and determination we needed to win that game and stay up.

Wallsendmag Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Never been his biggest fan but he's really impressed me at right back. He's a pretty intelligent player but was never physical enough to play in the middle in this league. However full back is one of those positions where you can get away with being 5'6" and 9 stone wet through and I think he's clever enough to retrain in that position.
