Yorkie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Raw ability is clearly there, but he hasn't yet adapted to the fact we draw pressure on ourselves about a million times a match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Definitely liable to the odd lapse in concentration. Could easily be MYM being berated tonight instead of Santon. It seems so, I missed the back pass from Santon and expected it to have been Mbiwa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I thought he played well bar the hesitation on the first goal. I miss sommat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I thought he played well bar the hesitation on the first goal. I miss sommat? Cardozo missing an open goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I thought he played well bar the hesitation on the first goal. I miss sommat? I thought the same. He is sometimes overconfident and creates situations that he doesn't need to, but he's only a bairn. In particular he reads the game excellently and brings the ball out very well. Just need to stick with him and he'll be incredible for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 He'll be fine. Probably just settling in to the side and whatnot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 He's a little bit of experience away from a very complete defender. Has a few moments but still looks every inch the player I thought he would be. His pace is vital for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a few moments but still looks every inch the player I thought he would be. His pace is vital for us. I have to agree. The fact that this thread hasn't been lit up post-match is a good sign. I think his quality is there to be seen and the fact that we don't talk about him as much as other dudes on the pitch shows his steady hand. He'll come good and be a great defender, I hope he's with us for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 There was that moment when he looked stranded out of position but ran back incredibly quickly and recovered, what we've needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He seems to think he's a better footballer than he is like (fuck knows what he was doing yesterday on the wing ). He needs to stick to task atleast until we get our game together a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Despite a few dodgy moments last night, he'll be fine and will be a mainstay at CB for us for many years to come imo. Have to remember that he's only 23 so he is still learning really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He's been impressive so far on the whole, but those saying he is better than Colo clearly jumped the gun. The idea that Colo is third choice at the club is/was ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*cking hell he must think high of himself then I'm sure you know what I mean like Mole He's great on the ball for a defender but he gets caught out at times when tries too much. We've never really had that problem with Coloccini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that Colo is third choice at the club is/was ludicrous. he's still the best defender at the club by quite a distance imo. Mbiwa has massive potential when he finds his feet and Taylor is fucking brilliant at the all action body on the line stuff (which we really need at the minute) but Coloccini is a class above.

Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Coloccin's first season wasn't even that bad imo, he went massively off the boil in the latter half and started making some ridiculous mistakes but his quality was all ways there to see, the same with Jose. Cleanly great footballers but the football we were playing just had them under far too much pressure. The same is happening this season with a few.

Cajun Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Colo has made a canny few mistakes himself tbh. Certainly hasn't performed anywhere near the level he did last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Because we're constantly on the back foot imo. If the team is playing the poorly the defence is under more pressure than they should and end up looking a massive joke unless they're fit for that purpose. Taylor is more of a defend in the box type so he's suited to it more, like Vidic, Terry et al. Coloccini would be fucking useless at Stoke for example, they'd be better off sticking with Shawcross.

The College Dropout Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Colo has no pace and is often victimised by fast strikers when we play a high line. MYM was poor on Thurs imo but he's got quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Aye, pacey hard working strikers and massive fuck off beasts have always been Colo's kryptonite, he isn't physical enough to deal with them. Having Mbiwa alongside him in theory would solve this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm not sure MYM is great in the air. Colo isn't either. Saylor's comfortably the best in the air in the whole squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
