Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Colback was instrumental in us earning a point today but I'm sure that won't stop some of the OTT negativity on here. Meanwhile Janmaat is virtually uncriticised despite playing his part in both Saints goals. Heaven forbid we might actually criticise one of the fashionable players!

I've criticised both today so I don't have any favourites. Colback's blocks were good but as a midfielder he contributed nothing. When Anita and Winegum went off he really failed to step up.

I'm one of his biggest critics, but I thought the Colback, Anita midfield worked well today. He's obviously not the most expansive player, but I thought he looked decent under pressure on the ball today. He  also definitely saved a point for us in those closing minutes.

Unless we sign a left back some time soon, he should be playing there. A better option than Haidara at this minute.

 

Far too slow. A good winger would make mincemeat of him. Best hope that it was just opening day nerves from Haidara and that he will be a lot better going forward.

Have we discussed his Gaz Bale heart celebration tattoo yet?

 

The fuck?

 

He has a tattoo near his elbow of hands making a heart shape. I'm assuming it's a new addition.

 

Really? Haha. Fuck me, that's the pits.

He constantly grinds our attacks to a halt, often picks the wrong pass, despite usually opting for the safest one possible and he is woefully weak for a CM. Combine all that with his constant pulling of shirts because he's so slow and we really have a gem here. His blocks were decent, but that's hardly worth mentioning when he is offering very little else.

Honestly tempted, after todays game, to state he shouldn't even be in the team. One block in no way makes up for every other piece of crap clearly visible.

Opposite of Mbemba, will cost us more than provides over a season.

Thought he had a good game on the whole, both defensively and with the ball. The negatives being a couple of misplaced passes and some typically dogshit set penis.

 

Agreed.

I'm usually quite patient with players but I can't see what he offers, genuinely. He's not as good as Tiote at breaking up play/DM, his passing and distribution is much worse that Anita, his set pieces are awful and presumably Wijnaldum will prove consistently better at those. He can't really dribble and he's not quick. He does have an alreet shot and gets on a few blocks like today (although why is he so deep in the first place?) but he's not worth accommodating IMO.
