I'd say he's inconsistent, he's had some cracking games then been poor the next, Ive witnessed him keep Yaya Toure in his back pocket.....

You're getting your songs mixed up. Yaya was the Hokey Cokey game
The back pocket game was Everton. The Pretenders did a tribute called "Baines in Pocket".

Got Baines in pocket
Got bottle I'm gonna use it
Intention I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination
 
He played well, it wasn't one of the best performance's at the SoL.
He would be better off leaving safc, seem to remember people saying Jordan Henderson was shite for us too. In today's modern game, colback will do well, he can keep possession and doesn't give the ball away too often..versatile too.
In a better team he would look a very good player.
 
did we or did we not beat the english champions of the time costing hundreds of millions with colback playing a starring role
Hi PISTON Mk II.

What about the games when we've been beaten by poorer opposition where Jack has been completely anonymous? This has happened more frequently than him having good games.[DOUBLEPOST=1388012502][/DOUBLEPOST]

Bollocks.
 
One swallow doesn't make a summer!

Colback is very limited, still i'd rather we kept him instead of bringing in dross every transfer window that are better than him like.
You got that quote off Tim Sherwood didn't you, he said it the other day.
 
Seems a canny kid, half decent player. He's 24 years of age?, I could count the number of games he's been a force in on one hand.

If he was/remained a central figure in our midfield, we will always struggle as we do now.

And tbh the same goes for 90% of this team.

We will see wont we.
 
A lot of you idiots said Henderson wasn't very good mind....

Henderson showed far more potential whilst he was here than Colback has ever done for us mind. Strange really, as the common consensus when they were coming through in the youth/reserve sides seemed to be that Colback was the bigger natural talent.

Henderson had a few good games for us.
Any as good as "Yaya Hokey Cokey", "Baines In Pocket", "Gareth Bale Out", "Cheick Mate Tiote"?

Colback has played well occasionally but that's all. As a full back he often gets caught out of position as he is not a specialist in that position. In midfield I was impressed with him the first tone I saw him, being neat and tidy and compact. He made himself available to receive the ball. Since then I can honestly say I have seen few signs of progress. He plays in the same way but has not developed his repertoire of passes or reading of the game.

Overall, for me, a typical lower Premiership squad player but, in a better Premiership side, he would be limited.
