Unbelievable

And yet he is/was always the obvious choice as he is the only DM in our ranks who has shown in the past an ability to play that position effectively.

Still a 6.

This. Pardew basically made him a worse player as he did with so many others. Huge concerns remain with Tiote, mainly how to keep him fit and how to reign him in to only do the basics of defending and giving the ball to a team mate in space asap if he wins it.

Begs the question why he's only being introduced when one of Anita or Colback is unavailable when neither should be playing whenever Cheick is fit to play. Probably because he's been god awful every time he's played for about 4 years. Hyperbole much?

Gets a bye from me today. For once I agree we didn't deserve to lose. He was forced into giving Tiote a chance and decided correctly imo to stick Wijnaldum in the middle rather than out wide. We looked a lot better for it. Hopefully we won't revert to type asap.

Harsh as fuck. We're on our way down.

'Sake

Ridiculous booking

Should score

Better Mitro

Still no booking?

God damn, Colback is indestructable.

Oh man Colo, wake up

So Perez left wing and Wijnaldum as the 10. Interesting

Agreed Nut

20 minutes? How about we give him a full game for the next 10 or so games? Why do we keep bringing in these French wingers when our head coaches are too afraid to bed them in properly?

Clueless, absolutely clueless

Sarah !! is absolutely fine thanks mate. Welcome back man! ManDoon and Bimpy back in the same week. Place feels good again. Need Rich back now.

Well, that tends to happen when you refuse to pay money for them. Agreed.

Spot on that analysis sadly

It is me aye, if i'm honest i've missed this place, you all the guys here. You calmed down about The Walking Dead yet m8? TCD levels of relentlessness

Yes i am mate, had a very good year, sorted out a lot of things in my life and come out very much happier. Good on you. We've missed you around.
