Geordie Ahmed Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This is what happens when you leave the mackems. This is true. Bent was averaging about 1 in 2 for us and barely got a look in til he moved to Villa. Based on form alone Cattermole is ahead of Colback at the minute. I don't think Colback is anything special BUT he absolutely pisses all over Cattermole as footballer, not even close The day someone of the calibre of Cattermole gets picked for England is the day the country should just retire from international football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Jack Arsecrack to Colbackenbauer is some transformation. Did well against Citeh but fairly average against Villa. Has no doubt benefitted from Gerrard and Lampard's recent international retirements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His particular brand of clogging is ideal for English football, he'd be sent off within 30 mins playing for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wow Fair play to the guy. He hasn't done much wrong since he joined. This pretty much cements his place in our first team forever now. Pards drop an England international?! No chance. Oh, and he's likely to be the next captain for Newcastle now. As for Cattermole he would definitely be in, if he didn't have such a disgusting disciplinary record, due to always flying in on people. Outside of that, he's an alright player really.

midds Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Colback getting the call to play for England is a sad indictment of the state of English football. He played well against City without pulling any trees up but I've seen very little to suggest he could make the step up into International football. I'd be saying the same regardless of who he plays for too. He's a decent, steady player without being exceptional in any area, no more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just looked at the players with the most red cards in the Premier League. Everyone else on the list is either retired or in their 30s. Cattermole is one away from the record (held by Vieira, Big Dunc and Dunne), and equal with Roy Keane. He's what, 25 or 26? That's a huge reason not to put him in your squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's played at a slower tempo usually so his lack of pace isn't likely to be noticed as much. He's a tidy player even if he doesn't pull up any trees.

Guest chopey Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This "step up" to international football must be a myth by now Joe hart and Gary Cahill dont step up to England from there club level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I thought he was a decent player at Sunderland and he's surprised me of how much he has to his game but he's a million miles away from international standard. Or rather, he should be miles away from international standard and we should have far better players at our disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current international standard is getting outplayed by any good team and struggling to beat any other team bar minnows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Cattermole's performance against MU last weekend was a pretty good demonstration of how good a defensive midfielder he can be. Better than anything I've seen from Tiote over 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the minute it just tells any English player we try and sign, go somewhere else, you'll be nowhere near the squad if you sign for Sunderland.

Seems as though that's what Colbacks call up is based on... If we go off the back end of last season. Rodwell wasn't playing but Cattermole was miles ahead of Colback.
