The College Dropout Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah horrific form.. who cares? Colo was probably worse however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 MYM's not in bad form, he's just had a stinker. It looks like Ronaldo's right though, the team seem far more wary with Colo and MYM together and they obviously aren't a great match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Colo also has games like this where he seems intimidated by faster stronger opponents and struggles but thought Mapou was more at fault for all 3 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Defending. Fuck this CBs 'playing football' crap. We've finished in the top 3 four times in the PL with some CBs you wouldn't want near the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I just want to sign someone who doesn't shit himself when he sees a guy like Lukaku or Benteke. Someone who isn't beasted in the air every fucking time as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in 10 yards of space... floats it into Remy - access denied by Distin. Positioning? He was running in the wrong direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two games.... before that he conceded 1 goal in 4 games. Nothing like a good knee jerk though. How we play is more of a problem than the CBs themselves.... we don't have the players to sit back and absorb pressure none of them can do it not one. 2nd half was an example of how we should defend, squeeze the midfield and press from the front.

Foluwashola Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That was one of the worst CB displays I've ever seen from a Newcastle defender. Not completely writing him off, but the lad needs to develop a brain reasonably quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Colo does the same. Puts his head down for corners. Two CBs that are scared to compete physically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Not denying he wasn't s*** man, but there's a fundamental flaw with how we defend in front of the back 4. Its abysmal and isn't doing the back 4 any favors what so ever whether they are s*** or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Oddly enough, i could still see the logic of starting him against Frazer Campbell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've never seen a CB so willing to run away from the ball. Perhaps unfair, but so angry with this lad tonight. Has to put in some graft to make up for that horror show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one 11 years ago but signed Bramble instead. Distin is still head and shoulders above our centre-backs even at 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
