mozy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Anita doesn't have the brain to be a tempo setter. It's just not his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Anita is just anonymous both ways. It is true that at the very least Colback will put a foot in to remind the opposition he is in fact playing. Anita doesn't even bother to do that. Anita has looked best at FB this season - how he lost his place to Jonas... I do know tbf. We have a lot of average to crap options at CM. Colback isn't the worst by a longshot. The lad playing next to him is. How many good games has Colback had in the run of 1 point in 9 games? Being in the engine room you would imagine he'd at least stand out. Jonas has been getting plaudits for his running since he came back into the team despite him not providing one significant contribution to a goal which is what you would expect from a winger. From a centre midfielder you expect to see Colback doing what Jonas does, not providing an assist every 5 games. It's all backwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jonas has been awful too lol. I haven't given him any plaudits. I haven't given Jack any plaudits either except he hasn't been as bad as many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jonas has been better than Colback since he's come back in, not that that's saying much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jonas has been better than Colback since he's come back in, not that that's saying much. As a midfielder yes, because he does actually stay involved and run for 90 mins which is what you want from a centre midfielder. As an attacking player he's useless, but in our crap run of 1 point in 9 games I don't think Colback has provided much either. Unless you count 50% less effort as something.

La Parka Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He's an average centre mid. At least he's chipped in a couple of goals. He's about right for a team of our level of ambition. (10th-17th). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He's an average centre mid. At least he's chipped in a couple of goals. He's about right for a team of our level of ambition. (10th-17th). 10th is being generous, battling relegation is more his level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedX02 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Colback is basically another Danny Guthrie: not enough of an athlete to be a box-to-box midfielder, some technical skill, a decent if unspectacular passer, some semblance of tackling ability. If we still had Cabaye, and Colback started a dozen or so matches alongside him like Guthrie did in 11-12, I bet he'd be fine. Sadly, that isn't the case.

Yorkie Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Aye, shame that. I liked Guthrie, had some really good games for us. Granted, they were mainly in the Championship but he was a good squad player in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Guthrie only looked good when a team looked good around him, never ever stood or be counted in a struggling team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest axel Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Guthrie was good enough for most PL teams imo, but he has the physique of a sunday league player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Was it Guthrie who faked an injury to get substituted, because he kicked the floor or something? Against West Brom, was a while again like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
