AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Being good in the air is all about appetite and bravery. I say this as someone who's 6'3" and absolute shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Apart from Mitro, a lot of our taller players are crap in the air. Sissoko, Janmaat & Obertan all suck. Janmaat at the far post is beaten too often for a fullback of his size. Can't disagree with any of that. Seems odd to say it but Debuchy was arguably better in the air than Janmaat. Debuchy was class in the air for his size, way better than Janmaat I think Janmaat has the ability to compete in the air, just he sometimes switches off and gets caught by surprise which is infuriating. He played CB in one game IIRC. It's a shame because he's a fantastic player going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fitness helps too like. I'm about 4ft3 and all I ever really do is give away free kicks, because my appetite and bravery leads me to climbing on people / pulling them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'd only ever fancy Mitro, Taylor and possibly Jamaal to win a contested header. Gini seems to have a knack of getting free ones though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 There are at least half a dozen players I'd have in the middle before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Anita de Jong Wijnaldum Sissoko Tiote Bigirimana Marveaux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 No excuse today, we are at home against a lesser team ,Tiote is in there and you know he will be showing for the ball. That's what we need from Colback rather than him. I don't want to see Tiote going past Colback much in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Whey half those players will also be on the pitch and the other half are absolutely shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Going to start counting Colback's touches on the ball now. Is it somewhere under 20 this whole half? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Forgot he and Tiote were playing at times. Such a gaping hole between defence and attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Forgot he and Tiote were playing at times. Such a gaping hole between defence and attack. That's McClaren's instructions though, been like that every game this season. Has to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's McClaren's instructions though, been like that every game this season. Has to be. We've basically lined up: Elliot Mbemba Coloccini Dummett Colback Anita Janmaat Sissoko Wijnauldum Perez Mitrovic With the other two nowhere to be seen.

TRon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I wonder what we'd look like with a proper midfielder in there? There was one point in the first half where Mbemba was looking for him to take the ball and Colback actually turned his back on him and Mbemba ended up just taking it out himself while Colback jogged into a defensive position behind him.
