Sifu Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's rather sad to see that he's not the force that he used to be. The signs are still there mind so I'm still going to put my trust into him. All he has to do is to get back to basics and stop trying to do complicated stuff. He has to remember that his job is to protect the defence and to find the simple pass to our attackers, he's been dawdling on the ball a bit too much for my liking this season.

Karjala Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Tiote has been fucking shite this season, theres no defending it. Terrible. Gem of a post. Make this guy a mod. u think he's been good then? genuine question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Amazed at the scale of my fury towards this man. It is justified, but the vitriol I spewed was overboard. Sort yourself out, Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPalAl Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He has been way below par, but then again so have many others, including Krul, Colo and Cabaye (when he was fit obviously). They are big players for us when on form. When all of them are off the boil, every little thing is over-emphasised. When he is at the top of his game, he is excellent. But how often have we seen that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_D Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He struggles with the added attacking responsibility when Cabaye is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Dunno why Bigirimana went off and not him. Believe it or not Tiote actually is a better player and has more to his defensive game than wor Bigi does at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Keegan and Burley thought he had 'a great game' up until arsenals 3rd. Wtf? He was great until that moment, no point questioning that. I thought he was poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I thought he was good until around 65 minutes. He was good in some parts of his game but he did give the ball away in daft areas. We've got enough players in his area of the pitch to leave him out for the odd game just to keep him on his toes. He does seem to have got sloppy this season.

He's been doing terrific for us in midfield and we missed him a little bit in there, just to shore the game up. So what you gain from him stepping in at centre-half, we missed in midfield."

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He has been this season tbh. I often feel the whole idea of physicality and specialist midfielders like destroyers are often overstated..... In this day and age i would much prefer a midfield 3 of Bigi-Cabaye-Anita..... they can all press, intercept, tackle, pass, score, create etc etc they can all do multiple different jobs and swap roles on the fly and comfortable in each zone i.e. DM, CM and AM. Most top teams have midfielders like this who complete multiple roles and not just one and not many use specialist CM's or specialist DM's anymore. It's a type of player that is slowly but surely dieing and quite frankly against Arsenal having a destroyer didn't exactly help us and hasn't done all season. Even last season i felt our best performances were with Guthrie and Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
