i would certainly be putting him straight back in the team next week,  i watched the first hour of the game today and thought he was very good, barely gave the ball away in that time and seemed back to what he does best, win it and play it simple.  NUFC look a much much better side when we have Tiote and Cabaye in the team together, something that has rarely happened and now with Sissoko added to the mix that is a very solid powerful midfield for a tough away game.  He should be back here by Wednesday and the other players won't be back till Thursday so time for him to be in the team and Pardew to plan the tactics with him in mind.

In regards to the poll, i am pretty sure AVB and the spurs players would be delighted if they find Tiote on the bench and Perch in the team.

He has been awful Tiote, but it's different times now in many ways. Hopefully Pards will try and get him back to basics and keep it very simple. Hopefully he'll keep it more simple now, and tbh, i think it might even happen naturally now no matter what Pards say, as we're much more balanced and fluid in our play, there's movement everywhere on the pitch.

 

I think the biggest reason for him trying to do too much of everything is that things haven't worked at all, overall.

Doubt there's many players in the league, if ANY who has that natural instinct and will to win as much as Tiote.

This combined with injuries, fitness, lack of any rythm and a team playing well below it's capacity has got himself over loaded and into a mess, one that he'll hopefully come out of within time.

 

He has so much will and is full of emotions. When things work these are great attributes, when it doesn't..........

 

I have faith in him, and i refuse to write him off.

Poll added.

 

Ahead of Perch? I'm pretty sure nearly everyone would. Ahead of Marveaux and Anita, not most of the time, no imo.

 

You'd play Marveaux in DM? :lol:

 

Where did he say he wanted to play Marveaux as a DM?

Tiote plays as a DM so to say you'd pick Marveaux ahead of him implies you'd play him in DM, which you already know.

I do think a midfield 3 of Sissoko, Cabaye and Marveaux's a bit attacking and would probably leave Cabaye doing most of the donkey work.

 

I'd play one of Tiote or Anita depending on the opposition and I'd play Marveaux on the wing, I'm not convinced by this idea that he can't play there at all.

It really doesn't. I said that I'd play Marveaux instead if Tiote half the time when a pure DM isn't needed.

We will be unchanged for Spurs IMO. I Can't see Pardew changing a team thats won two in a row.

 

I think they probably deserve it aswell.

 

Fair comment, I wouldn't have too much issue with that. Depends on potential injuries mind.

 

Bench would probably be Elliot, Yanga-Mbiwa, Tiote, Anita, Marveaux, Obertan, Sh.Ameobi.

 

Could be worse. :)

I just think from a man management point of view, it would send the wrong message to just throw Tiote back in as soon as he returns.

 

He was in shocking form before he left, so why not make him sweat a bit and earn his place back in the team?

 

We've been doing ok in the last two games without him and you never know, it might be the kick up the arse he needs to get back to form.

 

If Tiote could keep things simple and get back to the from he showed in his first season, a midfield three with Cabaye and Sissoko would be wank worthy.

I can see him playing Tiote over Perch mind. I think, in Pardew's mind anyway, he doesn't think there's much difference between Jonas & Marveaux so hasn't needed to change that, and he also likes Taylor.

 

Tiote on the other hand, is a massive upgrade on Perch.
