Wullie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If they want to play a decent game on the ground, I don't think a team has room for a defensive midfielder as such in a 4-4-2 unless the other three are really outstanding attackers.

Deuce Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Thing is Tiote doesn't give the ball away due to hollywood passes he gives the ball away through simple 2 yard sideways passes. It's the simple shit he's struggling with. I also don't believe he would be successful as a box to box. ( i would actually have more faith in Jonas in that role) If we want to use Anita as DM, Cabaye with more attacking intent then i think we need to buy a box to box midfielder as we don't really have any. Sissoko, Sissoko, Sissoko! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. We're essentially playing 2 defensive midfielders if Jonas and Tiote are in there. One of which can't really defend much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like stoke's central midfielders, really not there to do much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I felt the first creeping feelings of resentment towards him today. 1 challenge away from a yellow within 3 minutes and all those ridiculous long range shots. Irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 A couple of years ago having Tiote taken off at half time would have been unthinkable - tonight it was a relief. He was going to be the ref's best option to 'even it up' and unless it was an injury was actually an astute move from Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If we sold him in January, and got say, Sissoko & Debuchy with the cash, would people take it? If Sissoko's definitely decent, then aye. Tiote was improved tonight but still just looked like a bull in a china shop, compared to the much more assured Anita and Marveaux. Still looked one twist or turn away from giving Wigan a counter-attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Needs to shoot more, doesn't do that enough. Should give the ball to the opposition more as well, doesn't do that enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If we sold him in January, and got say, Sissoko & Debuchy with the cash, would people take it? Wouldn't get either for how much his value must have fallen this year and even if we got the magic £20 million I wouldn't bet on either of these, or indeed anyone coming in during the next transfer window. Would just be misrepresented as agent and signing on fees and wages for existing players for the next two windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 despite his 'sillyness' when he's passing and trying to turn his way out of trouble, when he was off in the second half it's ridiculous how easy it is for the opposition to cut us open with a ball from the centre of the field, really miss his energy imo.
