Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Colback is a Rafa type of player.

 

I think you may be surprised at how highly Rafa will rate him this season.

 

Can't get my head round this at all, the guy is almost universally terrible. Looks like he's going to play but I haven't a clue why.

He might be a Rafa type of player if he didn't look like he was wearing boots made of cement. I've got no issues with his general play, but he can't run and ends up pulling down forwards when they get away from him. I just don't see how Rafa can get past that once we are back in the premier. He's not physically fit to do a proper job as a defensive midfielder.

Good goal today, a couple of decent runs and broke-up their play well. Dawned on me though, I have never seen a footballer grab hold of the opposition as much as Colback. His hands were first point of contact more than his feet, wonder how many of the daft freekicks he's given away are because of this? Rafa should make the bugger practice with his hands tied behind his back.

does it all the time, and watch how many free kicks he gives away in dangerous positions, mental.

Colback has poor positional sense, I don't see him as a Rafa midfielder at all.

 

And he is extremely slow-of-thought when he's on the ball, and generally brings a counter attacking opportunity to a screaming halt. I have no idea how anybody cannot take issue with his general play.

Not a fan of the thread title. Does the free lovin' give everyone a chance under Rafa not extend to local gingers?

This. Some people might consider it stupid, but I just can't ever like him.
