Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 He had to be the deepest midfielder when Anita went off and we lost any sort of impetus and struggled to get the ball from City for a more extended period of time than we had all game. He's not cut out for that role as far as I'm concerned, needs to play a bit further up if he has to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Looks a pretty limited player, but useful as a squad player and he didn't cost that much. However his set piece ability could come in very handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 He was moving the ball up-field first time and switching play VERY quickly throughout the match. He and Anita were using the ball very well when they had to. Pet peeve of mine is the time it takes for a player to switch play or get the ball up field, which we generally are slow at. Anita and Cabaye always moved it quickly, it was nice to see Colback do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Actually quite excited to see more of him based on that last performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I referred to him as the Red Lion of Killingworth at the bar on Sunday...completely beer influenced nickname. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 England hahaahhahahahhha There's no doubt he'll play for England at some point. he'll be 25 in a few months. I seriously doubt it. England don't have many options tbf but they'll stick James Milner in any position before Colback Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 He played well on Sun, kept ball well and got stuck in but we need better in there. He is just average. Tbf he played better than I thought he was capable of, seems tidy in posession and probably useful as a squad member but not a starter long term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Until you look at the alternatives, that is. Then he most certainly is a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I referred to him as the Red Lion of Killingworth at the bar on Sunday...completely beer influenced nickname.

jimmymag Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Class again today. Very composed in possession and gets his foot in. Massive improvement on Tiote and that's why I think Tiote will go. Cashley will be pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He has been better than expected Not a fashionable player but will be important for us considering how scrappy the majority of our games are probably going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Worked very well from box-to-box and passed it around nicely. Not very creative, but still showed a decent range of passing. I've no problem with him starting in our midfield atm. Hodgson was there today... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Can't remember seeing him besides a couple of crap tackles. Because your not blind. Or maybe it's because you have an understanding of the different between good, bad and indifferent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
