xLiaaamx Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He has next to nothing that sets him apart from the kind of dross we saw in CM when we were in the Championship half a decade ago Butt, Smith, Geremi, Guthrie, Barton and Nolan all had more about them then Colback does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Which managers are apparently seeing something in Colback anyway? Alan Pardew got him in on a free because Sam Allardyce was the only other fool interested. He's capable of playing the ball forwards but he refuses to, maybe he'll change if his place in the side is threatened but it's definitely a physiological issue with him, whether or not it's as sinister as KI is suggesting (I think it is, just look at his pathetic dives to get him out of taking responsibility the past week).

Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It's becoming increasingly more likely that Pardew only brought him in as a final fuck you as well, and that the contract rumours are true. McClaren has even started subbing him in games/moving him out of the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's a coward but he isn't that shit a footballer. Has a good touch and a decent pass on him but just takes the easy option every time. Was decent yesterday while in midfield IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 That would pretty much be my take on him too. With a bit more self-belief and aggression he would be a much better player. Even if this happened, through competition, coaching, maturity or whatever, he is never going to be the kind of box to box combative player or playmaker needed at the heart of the team.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Managers picking players is a rubbish defence, considering plenty of crap players have racked up lots of appearances over the years, as a Newcastle fan the obvious one being Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 What the fuck is wrong with our supporters?? Lee - I think that our strikers will do the job, know that we are given them better service. A good right wing would help as we need better crosses into the box. Aarons might be worth a go or we could buy a decent lad with loads of pace. + I would buy a good winger not another striker. + I would keep Colback in midfield if Dummett is fit for the next game. Drop Sissoko and keep Colback on the right handside. Sissoko in not upto it, sell him before the other teams discover that he is of little value. + Coloccini has played well in recent weeks and he is well worth his place in the team. I would however buy a good central defender next summer. + Elliot is doing a grand job, but if he gets injured we are in trouble, because Darlow is a panick merchant. + Mitrovic is doing ok and he is doing a good job. The goals will come, especially if we buy a good right winger. He is not the finished article yet, but in the future he will be top class. More pace and better control required. The two new lads have made a big difference already. The have given us more possession and much better control. They will get better if we improve our right flank, which is still a big weakness.

Scotty66 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Guarantee that "fan" would have been more than happy if Pards signed a new 20 year contract instead of walking away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 talking about Shelvey: “The speed of his passes gives you that extra two seconds and defences can’t recover,” McClaren said. “That’s the difference between top midfielders and average ones." Colback isn't even average by this definition one thing i'd say about that quiet debut by Saivet was that a couple of times he got on the ball and played a ball through the middle quickly to the feet of Wijnaldum and/or Perez so hopefully if Colback has to play LB he won't recover his place by the time Dummett is fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The bit where he got totally outmuscled and then just started crawling about, looking at the lino to help him out and give a free kick. They then got a cross in and could have scored. That's right Colback. Crawl about on the floor, like the dog that you are. You pathetic little Red Setter.

Varadi Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 During the second half, Paul Dummett was forced off with a tight hamstring, with Henri Saivet coming on to make his debut and Jack Colback covering in at left-back. McClaren believes he is now starting to accrue greater options throughout his squad. He continued: “We might see a bit more of Jack at full-back, it’s a possibility, although we don’t want to because Dummett has been doing very well there. “With the injury (to Dummett), we had a little look at that. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-mcclaren-newcastle-must-kick-10747623? Quite optimistic than McClaren is well aware of Colback's limitations and has only been playing him so much due to lack of options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Given how much of our fanbase rate Colback he's probably been scared to drop him until he had some noticeably better options to replace him in case they form a lynch mob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
