triggs Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I thought he was our best player personally. He's neat and tidy on the ball, rarely gives it away. To be honest that's more than I was expecting, I thought he was a complete clogger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He did OK - does the simple things well but does not have the vision or creativity of Cabaye. Better than I thought though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Punt the f***er over the fence. To be fair to her, she didnt know who Colback was, it just made me :lol:/ when she suggested the name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The press seem to love him as well all of a sudden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He was quite decent today. Lacks the dynamic athleticism of Moussa or the vision of a Cabaye, but is an effective contributor in the middle and has consistently put in quality set pieces thus far. He will replace Anita when Tiote returns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sure the press might have made a bit too much of him but I think he's been decent so far. He's the least of our worries ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Fucking rubbish. Offers fuck all. Goes sideways more than a fucking crab and happily adheres to the Williamson back post routine. Embarrassing that people were bigging him up after one game. But he was canny at school so that's all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not sure what game you were watching.. was far from fucking rubbish. Certainly wasn't going to impress Hodgson, but was reasonably tidy, bar one silly foul, tackled well and filled the tiote role reasonably well. He actually spread the ball surprisingly accurately at time across the pitch too. Set pieces were hit and miss to be sure but for someone that was supposed to be playing from deep he did well IMO. Some people just want to hate regardless. (admittedly on the flipside people like to be optimistic to a fault) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hes exactly what we thought he would be just a "meh" player, comes on doesn't make any glaring mistakes but also contributes very little to anything. The way fans are banging on about him you would think hes Roy Keane in his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I don;t think he had such a bad game but he's a pretty ordinary player. To go go from Cabaye to him in that position is like trading in a Van Gogh painting for your some thick kid's stick figure drawing done in preschool.

Ronaldo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I understand the general lack of acceptance towards Colback but too many on here have him marked down as ineffective before the game's even kicked off. Stop being such petty little men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The problem is, he performed better than all other players, e.g. Moussa and Anita ytd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Can't believe some are knocking him for being ordinary. What did you expect from someone who we signed on a free from the lot down the road? For me, I said it last week, he reminds me a lot of David Batty and the role he used to play. Nothing flashy, nothing silky but just a simple, tidy battler whose job is to calm things down and sweep up.When we had Batty, we had Ginola, Rob Lee, Beardsley and Gillespie being the creative players. Now, it's Cabella, Sissoko, Gouff and De Jong. I would add Anita to that list but we know Pardew would drop him when Tiote is back. Tiote is sometimes a shambles on the ball and with his passing and very rash with his tackles though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Colback is never a Batty. He's better than Perch & Gosling and a bit of an upgrade on Guthrie, but nowhere near what we should be looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
