Lush Vlad Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Think we'll find out on Saturday. Hoping to see Saivet and Shelvey starting with Wijnaldum in the no.10 role and Sissoko and Perez / Thauvin either side of him. Horrible feeling we'll see Shelvey start with Colback though. You just know it will be. Minor injury or another yellow for Wor Jack is what is required. Just so Saivet can get in the team and then prove he offers more than Colback. If he doesn't, then we've wasted £5m on a terrible footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It's not like it's total madness to give new signings a couple of weeks to bed in in training and in sub cameos until they have the responsibiity of the team on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Has McClaren played Colback as the only, main DM before though? I don't think he has, so hopefully he won't deploy him in that role. I am feeling quite confident Shelvey will be replacing him and either Tiote will keep his place if he is still here on Saturday or Saivet will get the gig.

I would agree in most instances. But when Colback proves to be an absolute waste of a shirt on a weekly basis. I would advocate drastic changes. It could be a bit of a problem, starting two new centre midfielders. Which is why I don't think it will happen. But I wouldn't be against it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that Colback and Shelvey in particular would be an absolute car crash waiting to happen, but I don't think it's something you can hold against McClaren too much. If Tiote is still lurking around by Saturday then I'd start him with Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Agree on that. If Tiote is still here. He should start. Annoying that he's back to some sort of form, just before we sell him. But it can't gloss over the years of shit and injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saivet isn't ready to come straight into the side we should hold onto Tiote for a couple more games. Colback isn't physically capable of playing as a lone DM.

Interpolic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd move Tiote on while his stock is relatively high. Might not get the chance otherwise. Saivet and Shelvey should come straight in, will be very disappointed if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Good player, used to play as attacking midfielder or winger, but this season did well playing as center midfielder. He's a well rounded player. He'll need some time to adapt though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a well rounded player. He'll need some time to adapt though. A luxury we can ill afford if he is to replace Tiote or one of the chuckle brothers in (defensive) central midfield.

relámpago blanco Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Looked a bit lost out there today for me.

U2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 And this is why you cannot rely on players who have no Premier League experience to dig you out of a hole. Needs time and we can't really afford to give it to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 because he wasn't fuckin class in his 10 minutes on the pitch having been at the club for 3 days? Get rid imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Got caught a couple of times but he'll learn quickly I hope, seems an athletic lad, which will help. We'll need him in the middle if Dummett is out for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
