TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 He brings a physical side to what is usually a lightweight defence. One that hasn't exactly been prospering in Taylor's absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21302 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 He's not the best, he's not the worst. I'm glad it's him and not Williamson or Lascalles coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Tbh I think you're about the only person whose opinion I would take seriously who rates him. Even then you don't want him starting, which says quite a lot Aye I think we are generally thinking along the same lines most of the time but I know you've had a long held distain for him. Tbh if he could stay fit I'd probably start him ahead of Colo now as I think he'd be a better foil for Mbemba and I think Colo is pretty much finished now. Again it's not really a ringing endoursement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Or The highly rated Mbiwa,who was highly rated by many on here,but never mentioned in January as the man we should sign to solve all our defensive problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 He is a moron like but I also think he's a good premier league centre half. He's had too many injuries over his career which has hampered his development, but I've always been happy to see him in the side - admittedly that probably also speaks volumes for the dross we've had in the side in his absence, particularly Williamson. Taylor and Coloccini together when Colo was at his peak was a very good centre half pairing, possibly as good as any we've had in my time watching Newcastle. You need that level of physicality in the defence and not many have got it while also being mobile and comfortable enough on the ball... If he didn't carry on like such a divvy, and didn't start spouting off in the Chronicle all the time, people might rate him a bit higher. The odd clanger doesn't help him either obviously. Anyway, too injury prone to be a long term solution at centre half now that Colo is on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6828 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 He's far from shite and we put in one of our best defensive displays of the season. I can't remember Elliot touching the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'd much rather he just got on with playing. After one game back he gives it the big'un in interviews etc and then he's out injured again for 6 month and we see him in the Sky studio in his 2 size too small waistcoat because he loves the attention.

Kid Dynamite 6828 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 All that may be true but he didn't put a foot wrong for 90mins yesterday which is ultimately what he's paid for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 All that may be true but he didn't put a foot wrong for 90mins yesterday which is ultimately what he's paid for He's paid to play, which he's hardly done with over half the season gone.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Judge him after the Chelsea game IMO, CT would have looked good against that West Brom team at the weekend. They were fucking terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10430 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 He's paid to play, which he's hardly done with over half the season gone. Like a lot of seasons in fact. You can't deny he's been unlucky with injuries though can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34100 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Irrespective of your view on him you can't judge him on the WBA match. It was a stroll in the park for the back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21302 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I expect a full charged Tayls performance with plenty of chest puffing, grimacing and finger pointing, against Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Aye Anichebe usually manages to do something against us but he is one of the worst strikers I've seen in this league. It wasn't the biggest challenge for him and Chelsea will no doubt provide a much more difficult match. But he's been playing for us for long enough now that we don't need to judge him on the West Brom game or the Chelsea one. We know what he's like by now surely.

Kitman 2204 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You can't deny he's been unlucky with injuries though can you? No I can't. However I'd have more time for him if he hadn't spent so much time injured, unluckily or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10430 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) No I can't. However I'd have more time for him if he hadn't spent so much time injured, unluckily or not. Â According to Physioroom.com only one player has suffered more injuries for us in the past 20 odd years.

scoobos 297 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 He's not shit at all. Hot headed and a numpty at times, but he's a pretty good CB and not afraid to carry the ball either. personally, I'd pick him over Colo if he continues to play like this over 3 games. Colo can be great but more often than not now his physical ability is letting him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
