SEMTEX Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 He's got both the most assists & most goals of anyone in our team the last 10 games. Says it all. Hes doing something right like. Probably deserves a place in the side. It actually doesn't say it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I wouldn't even have an "ideal midfield", any 4 out of Abeid/Sissoko/Anita/Cabella/De Jong would work fine, filling the 2*CM,1*AM,1*RW positions. I guess you mix it up depending upon who you're against but in reality they won't all be fit anyway. Sissoko in AM if Anita & Abeid start, else in CM. Colback can be involved every so often too, but I guess it'd be him or Anita, and I have much more hope of Anita improving over time. We actually have decent options apart from out wide.

r0cafella Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Our pressing has been horrific for years like. Sissoko was the only member of yesterday's 5 in midfield fit enough to press properly for the whole game unfortunately. Yup and he presses alone which leaves great big holes behind him. I wouldn't mind, our team drops off and doesn't even get particularly tight, it's so easy pass it around against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind, our team drops off and doesn't even get particularly tight, it's so easy pass it around against us. This is Colback's biggest flaw by far, that it's his nature to just press like a nutter and either make the hero tackle, or more likely just get skinned. It's a shame, he's got many of the attributes to be a good deeper Box to Box player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, he's got many of the attributes to be a good deeper Box to Box player. It is his nature because of his education at the horrible football club down the road. It is a shame because I think he is fairly intelligent and has good technique. His main limitations are physical because he is slight and not very athletic.

Too often our pressing is half-hearted, or individual in nature, like you said. I don't know whether it's Colback not sticking to the plan, or hesitation on the part of others. Perhaps a lack of leadership in general on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's actually funny when you make a point of watching him off the ball and see how often he'll hide behind an opposition player when we have the ball in an attacking situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Watch him when he's got the ball, he'll look busy, pass it quickly then just stop dead to watch what the other guy does with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He can do the odd neat pass when under no pressure, he can do the odd good tackle when he happens to reach an opponent in time. When his legs go in the second half he just vanishes completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Another shite performance from him tonight. Offers very little and always seems to be fouling opposition players of late. If we're going to play 2 holding players, it has to be Tiote and Abeid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Has not been on the pitch for 21 minutes of PL games he's been available for (I'm assuming he went off injured then - Swansea (a)). They might as well go all out and make him captain given how many of the moron brigade it'll please, wew - wor Jack really taught them Sunlun's a lesson being our cappa. Haaaaaw.
