joeyt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just don't see it... Same, once again I thought once Anita got subbed off Colback looked a lot more exposed and it should have been Colback taken off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I hate him but I thought he was alright today. This for me. Slow in releasing the ball when he had it, but overall he did well today. There's no need for him and Anita to both be on the pitch though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I thought he was good. He's pretty good at getting in tight and getting little touches on the ball to put the player up against him under pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It was an average Colback performance, plain average. Didn't do too much wrong, didn't really impact the game, certainly offensively which means we get pinned back far too often. Agree with M4 no need to have him and Anita on the pitch, wijnaldum back and colback on the bench as backup to Anita. Having a chance to sit there and know he has to improve to work his way back would do him good. The general mong crowd will see that and past the fact he is a local lad eventually.

Stifler Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He needs to pick his head up and look for the pass thats not right next to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMTW Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Don't mind him playing in games when we aren't going to have much of the ball and we need someone in there to harry and harass. He shouldn't be playing against weaker teams where we should be controlling possession though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 How about being a reasonable human being, as an expectation for fans. We'll all have favourites and least favourites, it does no harm to take your blinkers off and acknowledge when one of the latter have a decent game. You could even prefix with adolescent sh*te like "I hate him, but..." or "I wouldn't play him, like..." as if it matters/you have some special claim on the 'truth'. If somebody didn't do what JC did today, I think Arse would have had more time to play far more balls into dangerous areas. Personally, I wouldn't have started him today (but who gives a f**k, SMc knows better than me), but I think he did well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I thought he has a good game today. Very hard to find someone who didnt mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Typically nondescript to me, but considering the performance of the whole team he had a decent game by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He was fantastic today, so was Anita. Was a 50/50 call for the sub. Still don't like Colback. Credit where it's due though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 At one point the kid sitting in front of me looked at his dad and said "Colback is great isn't he" - Even though I thought he did well today, that's just not right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I hate him but I thought he was alright today. This for me. Slow in releasing the ball when he had it, but overall he did well today. There's no need for him and Anita to both be on the pitch though. With 10 men you'd want to hold on to the ball, especially against arsenal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 What I mean is that at times he got the ball then ran around with it not taking opportunities to make a decent pass, hesitated until he ran himself either into trouble or into passing back to Colo.

Dokko Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 What I mean is that at times he got the ball then ran around with it not taking opportunities to make a decent pass, hesitated until he ran himself either into trouble or into passing back to Colo. I think he ran himself in to trouble twice and on one of those occasions bust a gut to cover and eventually positioned himself to where the pass was intercepted. I've seen the behaviour you mention several times a match with him, but today i don't think that can be levelled at him. It could be that the sensible and safe option is more suited to how things went after 16mins therefore his mentality suited this situation. After all, he's had plenty of practise at his former club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He was very good in the first half today. Both him and Anita had good games. By not getting booked early on he was one of only a few players who could actually challenge for the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
