Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Looks more well rounded player then Tiote . At least passes forward. Anita and Jack looks quite comfortable together

 

That should be our central midfield pairing for the season. Both good on the ball, mobile and keep it nice and simple. Tiote can sit his ass on the bench.

Utterly horrific craic saying Colback should be starting ahead of Tiote.

 

I don't see how Tiote is better than him, dude. Colback is just so much better on the ball. He's more aware, he's composed, he looks up and passes into space. I don't see Tiote doing any of those things.

 

The days of the hardmen in the middle of the pitch is over. Colback intercepted more balls today than I ever remember Tiote doing in a match. That's the modern defensive midfielder, not someone who launches into a tackle when the ball is received by the attacker.

He looked 'comfortable', and it's an absolute tragedy that he's actually Cabaye's replacement.

 

That's what I saw as well. Didn't think he was as spectacular as what people are saying.

 

Battling is maybe the word I'm looking for. Certainly didn't see anything of outstanding quality that's going to take us on as a team.

Nearly all of you lot wrote him off but he had a very solid game today.

 

Yes, and against the defending champions. Very consistent player so don't expect to see his performance levels drop.

set piece delivery was solid. worked hard and didn't give up. Feel Cabaye would have probably been booked against this lot for one of his snidey challenges late on. Not a 1 for 1 replacement, but not as horrible as expected either.
