Jack Colback (now a free agent)

Can't remember if he's ever had a decent game.

 

He's had a couple of them, but I've seen him take a game on which a player in his position needs to do.

It's bad enough that he sucks at actually contributing to the team, but then on top of that he then commits fouls in dangerous areas. To make it even more annoying, he then tries to put on this scowl and yells at the ref like he's a tough guy! You know, because he's got tattoos. The guy really lacks intelligence.

Was absolutely classic Colback all game from pretty much the first few minutes when he pulled back their player for no reason whatsoever.

 

Also when he controlled the ball in our penalty area, ran straight to the corner flag with a fistful of Akpan's shirt, fell on the ball and was lucky to escape with a goal kick

 

Could see the freekick and goal coming a mile off

:thup: immediately leading up to the free kick he was all over the place aye, must have made 3-4 glaring mistakes/fouls in the minutes leading up to it

Who else can replace him other than Tiote? Any youngsters coming through?

 

Has to be Anita with Yedlin at RB really. Anita doesn't pull up any trees in that position but at least he doesn't give the other team set piece practice every five minutes.

Good shout. He'd cover Yedlin's forays forward as well.

Anitas ability when it comes to his short range passing alone would do wonders for us I think. Anita gets control of the ball so quickly and manages to release it without too many touches. He's not a midfield maestro or anything but he's much better than Colback at absolutely everything. At least the ball would be passed around much faster.

Does Benitez see Anita as a midfield option though? According to Football-Lineups it's only happened once, in his very first match in charge.

 

Think he started at right midfield at Fulham and a few friendly matches but barely remember him playing in the centre. Anita playing as a CM would not only get Colback out the team but give us some much needed pace with Yedlin, as a few have mentioned
