  1. Pardew better do his usual sit back and defend a one goal lead shit.
  2. Feels like half the stadium are supporting the team, the other half are singing against Pardew and Ashley. Need a Cardiff goal.
  3. Yeah, there's no way this counts as choking. They've been on a vintage Man Utd 15 game run to end the season.
  4. Holy motherfuck, I'd celebrate that almost as much as if we won a trophy.
  5. Everton better lose. Seriously. Lie down, give away two goals. Don't be cunts.
  6. Yesterday was fucking awesome.
  7. Survive until half time then look to hit them on the break. Chelsea can do this.
  8. The skills that Lambert possesses would be useful in even the best sides, namely scoring goals and holding the ball up. The skills that Tiote possesses aren't useful because those teams don't operate like that. Busquets is a defensive-minded central midfield but his skills are vastly different to Tiote's. I'm not particularly sure what Tiote does anymore apart from run around and kick people. He's certainly nothing like the modern day defensive midfielder who controls space and keeps it nice and tidy. Someone like Anita, although timid, is far more like a modern day defensive-minded central midfielder, someone mopping up loose balls, good on the ball and keeps it nice and tidy; positionally good and covers space when we're defending and also moves into space when we have the ball. The best defensive midfielders do this, but Tiote doesn't.
  9. Who the hell has mentioned Ricky Lambert? He scores goals, how is he ever going to be an anachronism? Ramires isn't even close to being someone who runs around kicking people. He's part of their counter attack, he is fast and athletic with a decent control and regularly makes runs on the ball into the opposition half. A better example would be Mikel but he's very good on the ball and controls space very well, quite the opposite of Tiote. These days CMs aren't needed to run around and kick people, they either control space and play it easy or they're all rounders who can contribute offensively. Tiote is neither. He can't pass, he's nervous on the ball and he regularly lets people walk pass him into space, forcing our whole midfield to turn and catch up to their runner.
  10. lol at the suggestion that Tiote is better than Colback. Not a fucking chance.
  11. You do realise they play completely different roles right. Anita and colback in mid? Weak as piss. And I like Anita Liverpool have played Gerrard and Henderson in CM for the past ten games. They've won them all. The days of 'strong' central midfielders who can only tackle and contribute nothing offensively are done. Players like Tiote are an anachronism. These kind of comments always amuse me, there's more than 1 way to play the game. I don't massively like Tiote or anything, but he's a solid defensive midfielder. Yet every good team in every decent league are gravitating towards a style of play that revolves around controlling the ball. Who's the defensive hardman playing for Real or Barca or Bayern or Liverpool or City? They have central midfielders who are good passers of the ball, first and foremost, and then they look for athleticism and the ability to control space. They don't have guys running around kicking players right, left and center, conceding stupid fouls and contributing nothing to the attacking play.
  12. We might get more from our midfield if we didn't have someone who couldn't make an offensive pass playing every game for us. Colback and Anita would be 'weak' but we'd have far more of the ball, more intelligent movement and passing and we'd probably score a few more goals. Would we concede more? Is that even fucking possible? We have a 'defensive beast' Tiote playing CM for us and we're conceding goals by the bucket. Who knows, with Tiote not playing and someone like Colback playing instead, we might fluke a goal or two and might win a game or two. Who knows.
  13. You do realise they play completely different roles right. Anita and colback in mid? Weak as piss. And I like Anita Liverpool have played Gerrard and Henderson in CM for the past ten games. They've won them all. The days of 'strong' central midfielders who can only tackle and contribute nothing offensively are done. Players like Tiote are an anachronism. and they're not that good defensively shock horror, the difference is we won't have a world class striker and a very very effective striker to bail us out like that. And we're even worse defensively. How about having someone who can control a ball, make some forward passes and move into space to receive the ball rather than have useless defensive 'hardmen' who's only skill is collecting yellow cards while we concede 2, 3 and 4 game in game out.
  14. Whenever Tiote gets in the opposition half he either blasts the ball over the bar, makes tippy tap passes back to whoever passed the ball to him while standing stationary or turns around and passes it back to one of our defenders. Colback is more useful.

  16. He's done ten things today that Tiote hasn't done in his time with us. There's no doubt who I'd prefer out of the two. Modern football is done with hard-man tackle-only central midfielders. Name those ten things. Two runs he's made into the opposition half, taking other players on, making a good recovery tackle, not making stupid fouls in our half and looking at the referee like a lost puppy, composed passing near their goal, making forward passes in their half, finding and moving into space while the team has the ball... had forgotten Tiote has never made a pass or run for us in his time here. The last time Tiote made a composed forward pass when in the opposition half was the last time I was fucking Scarlett Johansson.
  17. Tiote's the defensive midfielder in a team leaking goals for fun. He can't create, gets nervous on the ball, doesn't contribute offensively, commits stupid fouls and regularly loses the opposition midfielder making a run into our half. He's been better than he was last year but that was because he had a truly terrible last year. If Colback gives us five games like he's given Sunderland today, that'll be more valuable than what Tiote has given us this season.
