Hanshithispantz Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He looked 'comfortable', and it's an absolute tragedy that he's actually Cabaye's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Very good performance from him today. Much better than I hoped. Will upset a few that performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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.

Ste Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thought he was good, to compare him to Cabaye is pointless. He put in a decent performance and generally made the right decisions. Faded at the end but it is the first week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 competed well against the rather brilliant midfield City have, more of the same please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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.

aussiemag Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He's tidy and reads the game really well. Needs to work on passing the ball forward, but the rest of his game is spot on IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 His set pieces today were pretty much all spot on, which is refreshing to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hopefully people give him a chance. He's better than Tiote, I don't have any doubt about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Aye, him and Anita looked good together. I'd like to see us continue with that. No they didn't. Too similar. We aren't a possession side and those lads are only good at recycling play - among other lads that also largely struggle to create. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I like the look of him today. Decent passing technique, good stamina and potentially a threat from set pieces. Looks tenacious too, which we've been needing in the absence of Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He also seems to work well with Anita as well, more so than Tiote does anyway. If we play that middle 3 like we reverted to after 15 minutes or so I'm sure we'll control the game against some of the sides outside the top four a lot better than we did last year.
