Wullie Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It's easy to keep a high pass completion rate when you never try to make an interesting one and just give it to the bloke next to you instead. Colback's pass completion was 21st in the league. Cabaye's this season was 132nd. I know whose performances I'd rather have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I can see our back four being really exposed if Tiote and Colback play as a pair. They're already exposed to a ridiculous degree, Colback won't make any difference to that. It's Pardew's tactics of not having anyone sitting that's the main problem in that department. That and the fact we've not had one defender who's looks comfortable with players running at him since Jose left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Tiote is prone to being caught out of position and people are touting Colbacks engine which means is a reference to him getting up the pitch despite having no quality whatsoever.

Well Tiote is prone to being caught out of position and people are touting Colbacks engine which means is a reference to him getting up the pitch despite having no quality whatsoever. While i may get Ron a bit mad at this, i think Tiote doesn't sit because Pardew's tactics encourages him not to, ever since Pardew has been here we've had a massive problem with teams breaking onto our CB's. The times we had Cabaye deepest with Tiote on the edge of opposition box in attack was also ridiculous. Now Tiote has many faults but the space vacated in front of the back four is one i don't blame him for, Pardew's tactics are the reason as it happens when Tiote isn't playing. Instead of telling a player, be it Tiote or whoever to sit and hold, Pardew simply doesn't, i know what you mean with Colback but just imo it's irrelevant. We could sign the best holding player in the world and our defence would still get exposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of this but our defence would perform better as a unit with a player who just say and covered the space deep. Aka what Anita did for Ajax.

Totally agree but for that to happen Pardew would need to go back to 4-3-3, a system that was the best suited to our squad, brought the best performances and something he's flatly refused to do. The man is mental to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The fact that he slotted into our (at the time) excellent midfield and didn't at all look out of place was a great credit to him with him being so young. Everyone got carried away, there was no reason not to. His career then went nowhere. Fuck knows why. His attitude would be my guess. He's 31 now, and he's probably further away from the England squad than Jack Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm just going to quietly pretend this isn't happening Carry on I won't let you JACK Colback insists there will be a part of Tyneside rooting for Sunderland when he makes his full derby debut. Killingworth-born Colback switched his allegiances to red and white after joining the Sunderland academy aged 11, with his family subsequently backing the Black Cats. “My mam and dad weren’t really that strong fans anyway – my mam’s a Man U supporter, which says it all!” said Colback, who celebrated wildly after grabbing the winner for Sunderland’s second string against Newcastle three years ago. “I’ve been here for a good 10 or 11 years, so my family are more on the Sunderland side of things now. “They’ll be wishing me all the best, and hopefully I can go out and help turn Newcastle over.
