Ikon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Can't remember if he's ever had a decent game. His debut against Man City was, well, wow. Still watch the game on a regular basis just to admire it. The piping off after that was ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This guy was directly responsible for the defeat today and should never, by rights, wear the B&W shirt again. His lack of contribution to the build up play, lack of imagination in passing and stupid - yes, stupid - fouls in dangerous areas mark him out as a footballer who is playing at least 1 league above his capabilities. One-paced, thick and an idiot to boot. The fact that we are dependent on African players to replace him(and they are not available because of ACN)shows that he is difficult to drop... the top clubs have either avoided signing too many African players because they lose them at critical times in certain years, or they have adequate cover in their squads. This is going to cost us dearly over the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Okay, so here is the upside to things. He has to be the easiest player to replace ever! Just find someone that does at least one useful thing in midfield. You could numerous athletic midfielders form most countries second tiers that would at least have a presence in your midfield and would be more than enough for the Championship. Surely there are midfielders in league one and two with some promise that could come in and produce more even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 He's an absolutely rank player, disastrous signing. In weak moments I sort of feel sorry for him, he does seem to try. He's just monumentally useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just monumentally useless. that little shirt pull in the first minute or so epitomised him really, no effort to compete with the player and thought he was being fly in pulling the lads shirt rafa has to get cover this window like, my confidence in him will be somewhat shot if colback is still playing in february Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED209 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yesterday he was disgusting, he was lucky not to give a penalty with his pointless shirt pulling. You would have thought he would have learned from that but no 30 seconds later he gives a goal away with another pointless foul. He is crap simple as that. Send him back to Sunderland.

His shirt pulling isn't pointless though. He wouldn't do it if he could tackle properly or keep up with players he's marking. The reason he does it is because he has the pace and acceleration on a par with her majesty the queen. No doubt someone will pull out some useless stats to show how much pitch he covers during 90 mins of dawdling like an old man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
