Tooj 17 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Alreet precious Anita instead perhaps? Colback is very good at what he does. We didn't buy him to be a David Silva Which is what exactly? Genuine question as I don't see what he's good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1217 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 He keeps the ball moving nicely. I actually don't think he makes the tackles that you seem to be suggesting which get the morons on side. He's not a great player by any means but he's very consistent at a decent level. And we certainly don't have anyone better than him to sit in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10662 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Whoscored.com says 2 assists 89% pass completion 2.2 interceptions 2 tackles 1.5 key passes a game But away from stats I think he's much better at linking defence & attack than Tiote and provides some much needed impetus. I don't think he's amazing but I think that this team playing Pardew's football needs a player like Jack Colback and he's performing well in that role. He's only ever going to give a 7-8/10 performance, but he'll always give that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34718 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm not convinced you have to play him and Tiote at home in most of the games (even in a midfield 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Arsenal away for example, Tiote gets loads of stick and rightly so a lot of the time at the moment. Yet he made 87 passes compared to Colback's 37. Colback is meant to drive the midfield on more when Tiote is playing whereas Tiote's job is to sit and break the play up. Yet he is the one showing for the ball and at least trying to make things happen. In comparison to Colback who just hid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34718 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Lets be honest, we only signed him because he was available on a Bosman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5151 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 And possibly to spite Sunderland. Still though, he made that pass to Sissoko in the Chelsea game for the second goal... he has his moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Alex saying we don't necessarily need both him and Tiote in a lot of home games but a lot of the time we've been short of options. Midfield wise we don't have anyone else centrally that we could really replace either of them with but of course we could go completely off the wall and play 2 up top.

Gemmill 44098 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not enough of the Trequartista about him for Tooj's liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the whole point...complaining about a Mike Ashley free transfer being a bit average is a bit pointless tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
