Guest Craig-NUFC Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good side apart from Jonas, Taylor & Perch. Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best only DM we have with Tiote away. f*** off, where do you think Anita played for Ajax? Hint: it's not the dynamic all action midfielder Pardew has tried to turn him into Anita's not a DM. What is he then? Depends what you class as a DM. Is he a tackling, deep midfielder? No. Is he a deep ball, playing midfielder? Yes. Whilst Villa are s***, their front 3 have the potential to clatter their way through our midfield, so I understand why Pardew has done it.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Anita's not a DM, tbf. Not in this league anyway. Why exactly? He's a similar player to Diarra and Makelele, who played well in the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good side apart from Jonas, Taylor & Perch. Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best DM we have with Tiote away. I thought Anita was a DM? He is, just not in the traditional sense. Still a better passer and more positionally aware than Perch. But he can't deliver that overrated bone-crunching tackle, so he takes the bench. In that case it makes sense to play a defender in midfield. So the formation really will be more a 5-2-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Not that Perch is a s*** player but Villa is probably one of the weakest teams left we are going to play, If Pardew doesnt have the f***ing balls to start Anita ahead of him and still need to be defensive....I really cant see us ever being a possession base team under this coward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Anita's not a DM, tbf. Not in this league anyway. Why not? I haven't seen him display the defensive attributes (tackling, anticipation, strength) or show enough awareness of his surroundings in such a pressurised area of the pitch. He'll get his pocket picked too dangerously there IMO. He's been at his best for us between the lines, higher up the pitch and where he can move the ball on a bit quicker and use his pace to better effect. His blind passing/passing around the corner to get moves going is great. [/also IMO] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious, quick and with good technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Why the fuck do we need to play a specialist DM like (especially when the one we've got is so fucking poor)? There's enough protection for the back 4 with Anita, Cabaye and Sissoko, they all help out in defence and you could tell Anita to sit a bit more than he has done recently if you really think it's too attacking with 3 hard working CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
