He's bloody better than Colback... that was my point!
He isn't really, and that's coming from someone who hates Colback. Tiote is a liability, whereas Colback is just shite, but he's shown that this league is about his level.
Plus playing a midfield two of Hayden and Tiote sounds grim as fuck
How is he a liability and how is it worse, better or different from "just shite"?
