Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

In the match thread I made a post about how deliberate every action is with these 2 - it really is like they turned up to the first lesson in how to control a ball, make it stop then make a deliberate push on the ball to pass it. They do this brilliantly by the way.

 

The problem is that they have never progressed from this. You can probably count on one hand the number of moving balls Dummett his hit this season, and still have enough fingers on the same hand to count the number of first time passes Colback has made.

 

They are the type of player who will always be in a relegation battle due to the negative impact they have on the rest of the team, but will be looked at as good pros to have in a relegation fight as they are used to that environment. Football really baffles me at times

I noticed him today, ergo it wasn't his worst match.

 

had one nice run and excellent cross. Generally was much closer to 50/50 in terms of a) going backwards/positive forward play b) giving away the ball/completing a pass and retaining possession c) fouling/winning the ball.  I'd call that a progress.

There was a moment in the second half where the ball got played to him in acres of space, must have had a good 30-40 yards he could have drove into but he chose to slow the play down and then waited before knocking a short sideways pass out to the wing.

 

Hardly a suprise Wijnaldum and Sissoko drop so deep all the time because they know we have two central midfielders shit scared to carry the ball or play a forward pass.

I remember being coached as a kid and always being told too "drive drive drive". If you pick the ball up and there is space ahead of you, then drive. Get forward and get your team up the pitch. This cunt sticks us in reverse at every opportunity. Fucking sick of the little ginger tart.

Loads saying he was excellent today, that was probably his best performance of the season overall and he still basically did nothing, maybe done things that any CM should be doing at bog standard level on a regular basis.

 

It's the same as people slagging the likes of like Ben Arfa. Expectations are much higher so when they do something wrong, they're shite.

 

When Colback, who's dogshit, makes one surging run into the box and delivers a rare cross - he's had an excellent game.

He was garbage apart from one decent run.

Tbf we looked worse earlier in the season when Colback was out of the team, he's still a fucking shite footballer and should never be starting a game for us. We just look worse with a midfield of Anita Tiote.
