Yes you're right. It's all Tiote's fault that McManaman is a thug. Well done.
As I tried to say, I am not blaming Tiote, and Mcmanaman is a clear thug, if he hadnt done it in this game, it would have been another, what I am merely pointing out is that a very poor Tiote pass, enabled that situation to happen. In hindsight you wish Haidara had never been able to half control it. Then he wouldnt be in a hospital bed now.
