Kimbo Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Remember loads saying he wasn't Cabaye's replacement tbh It never made sense to me, people saying he was Gosling's replacement, when Gosling only got games because Cabaye had left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 “The beauty is that it depends on the opposition, you can pencil him (Jack Colback) in to do a number of roles. “If you are the dominant force then he might take a more defensive position because his passing range is fantastic, a bit like Yohan Cabaye’s. “He can also carry a threat when teams are more assertive – for us we can offer him a more forward role where he can use his energy. “He has got just a great all round ability – I am not sure where England will have plans for him but what I do know, is number four or number either, he can do either of those quite comfortably.” “He is our player but of course six months ago he was at Sunderland so they have to take some credit as well…” 'I think this shows we was making the right decision getting rid of Yohan Cabaye and replacing him with a current England international whilst freeing up funds to monitor players elsewhere' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 When we are the dominant force? Fuck off out of here man. This is the manager who is shit-scared of Gillingham in his pre-match talk ffs. Who do we have to play to be dominant, Central High U9s? What an utter melt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Colback's all-round qualities are a real asset, because whatever situation he finds himself in, he can make a reasonably good fist of it. He's not a specialist creative player who can't tackle, or a defensive player who can't pass. It's also easier to get the right blend in midfield, with players like Colback. We have three great young midfielders in Wilshere, the Ox and Barkley. We need someone behind them to hold things together. Henderson is the front runner, but he hasn't made an overwhelming case, so even though I wasn't expecting a call-up for Colback at this point, I can see why Hodgson at least wants to take a look at him.

LesPaul Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think the FA are only sticking with Hodgson because the other options are so limited. He had a decent Euro 2012, he'll do for the 2016 tournament. That'll be their mindset. He was responsible for our worst performance at a World Cup since 1958. There's no reason whatsoever for him to be kept in a job. You performed as expected at the World Cup. England were never getting out of that group, sorry.

loki679 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It doesn't even make any sense. If we're on top we want him to sit back in a defensive position, if we're under the cosh we want him to get forward? Boil it down it sounds very much like kick it long and run around.
