themanupstairs Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Your original point is incorrect. The Geordie trick has worked a trick from a PR perspective. Which was exactly what I said. It worked from a PR point of view but not a footballing one. Fans rarely turn against individual players en masse, especially inside the stadium, so they'll definitely not turn against good Geordie lad Jack. But they still display frustration and anger towards a bad football side that includes Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He reminds me so much of Nicky Butt, nowhere to be seen when we are attacking, nowhere to be seen when we are defending, where the f*** does he go?? He's a coward who thinks he's made it because he knows the crowd will give him all the slack he needs. Won the lottery when we had al pards as manager looking for a strapping Geordie lad to take on the local pacifier role. Just shows how little anyone running NUFC understands about NUFC fans, and that includes braindead fools like Carver and Stone. Eh the majority of our fans love him. That's going to be a big problem, especially if McClaren doesn't have the balls to drop a local lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He reminds me so much of Nicky Butt, nowhere to be seen when we are attacking, nowhere to be seen when we are defending, where the f*** does he go?? The difference is that Butt's legs were completely shot, so he was pretty much confined to the centre circle. Colback is 8 or 9 years younger than Butt when we had him, and actively hides from the ball at times. Butt was incredibly limited and the definition of flogging a dead horse, but he never hid.

M4 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Also given Colback's ability to judge the flight of a ball, he will never be able to give us an overhead kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Apologies for 'off-message' posting, but Gini's inefective performance in deeper CM role against Sheff Wed, made me wish Colback was playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Apologies for 'off-message' posting, but Gini's inefective performance in deeper CM role against Sheff Wed, made me wish Colback was playing. It's hardly surprising seeing as he has never played in a deep midfield 2 and is totally new to the English game. This is exactly why I was hesitant about suggesting to play him deeper too early, could ruin him for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Apologies for 'off-message' posting, but Gini's inefective performance in deeper CM role against Sheff Wed, made me wish Colback was playing. It's hardly surprising seeing as he has never played in a deep midfield 2 and is totally new to the English game. This is exactly why I was hesitant about suggesting to play him deeper too early, could ruin him for us. Then why did we sign him? We needed a central midfielder. Either in prime Tiote mould or Cabaye mould. I'm not averse to a flat midfield 3 or a 4-1-4-1 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Because he fits the model of being young, talented with potential sell on value. And I hope because he fitted into whatever McClaren wanted to build as his first XI here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Way less hateful than usual and actually effective. In this scenario, naturally he went off injured for Obertan. It's his sort of match though, there's no wholesale change in him for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Didn't hate him as much, at first. Then he did his usual sideways/backwards passing and he put us into trouble on a few occasions. Possibly because of the knock. Don't care, he's a cunt and I detest him. Hope he's out for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
