mrmojorisin75 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 i'd go close to saying it's the best i've seen him play today like once he pushed up a bit he seemed to have a bit of a purpose in pressing their midfield, like it was something he'd been lacking for ages then again he made loads of mistakes and was shit on the ball so easy come easy go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Apart from two great tackles on Mata and Rooney, he was terrible IMO. Miles away from the action for most of the game, and stupidly gave the ball away several times in dangerous positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles away from the action for most of the game, and stupidly gave the ball away several times in dangerous positions. Completed 25 of 28 passes. I didn't see the first half but was good in the second IMO as was Anita Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hit and miss, just like obertan. The misses however are far more noticeable. Hope sissoko replaces him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today his head went down and he looked out of it. Think long term Wijnaldum will be the one who drops into that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles away from the action for most of the game, and stupidly gave the ball away several times in dangerous positions. This is what I'm seeing most games, he always seems to be just off the screen where the action is happening unless the ball comes right at him.

Nowt wrong with that if taking up good positions, blocking opposition movement etc. Didn't seem to do that today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He made too many mistakes today. Tiptoe looked better when he came on, and I'm not a fan of Tiote. I would be considering dropping him for Tiote. Definitely agree with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always standing too far off the opponent to effectively block them anyway, they just pass the ball around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 After Obertan, must be the one most at risk in the starting XI surely? (Haidara once Dummett is back) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He's just positionally all over the place. Sometimes that means he's in the right place for mental last second tackles, most often it just means Anita gets to do the work of two, and then gets criticized for not being domineering. Please drop him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 [pulls helmet firmly down on head...] I am generally an admirer of JC. There you are, said it....INCOMING!!! However, I looked at his performance today and noticed the kind of things I've been tutting at on here. I do think he was up against top class opponents (thinking about who he mainly came into contact with) but bar a couple of good blocks, a tackle or two, and decent work rate I didn't appreciate his performance as much today, even when he pushed forward a bit. Whereas noticed/ appreciated Anita more than I ever have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 That performance today was not unusual, that's standard for Colback BUT the occasional blocks and hard running seems to impress people He needs to be dropped BUT sadly McClaren seems to rate him so think we are stuck with him stinking the midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, thought it was a typical Colback performance, lots of running around BUT constantly out of position and making boring/safe passes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
