Mole_Toonfan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 We was a mid table team then no one gave a shit, put this team back then and we would be screaming at Tiote the same way we are now. We are just more expectant and the team has gone forward with better players and need a different kind of player. He's been found out, you press him and he struggles and he doesn't move the ball quick enough or at least look comfortable and hold on to the ball for a team looking for top 6. he needs to get back to basics and keep things simple He's trying to but teams dont let him keep things simple anymore, as i said he struggles to hold on to the ball when teams press him and ends up just losing possession. Can't remember who said it but when City and Spurs started building their teams they had a Tiote like player and once they got better they moved them on for superior footballers. We need to do the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_89 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Compared to Parker´s first season for Sprurs, he now keeps the ball to his feets way to long and does not focus on what he´s good at, easy passing and winning the ball back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He has become what Parker has become, a player who thinks he´s something he´s not. Wasn't his fault. He was positioned as our Gerrard. Hadd too much responsibility. Yesterday as is normally the case. Tiote's problem wasn't the "hollywood ball" myth but holding the ball too long. He needs to have his pass in mind before he goes looking for the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Done his hammy in training. No loss. Hardly. Might be in poor nick, after Man City we could potentially be perilously close to the relegation zone and then have 4 games in ten days, including the derby, 2 x QFs, it's pretty silly to say any 1st teamer is no loss - particularly given our already lengthy injury list.

Especially when Pardew doesn't seemingly trust Anita and Perch isn't good enough to deal with the likes of Silva. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Tioté hasn't played well for awhile. Gives Anita, Perch or Bigi a chance. We could also play Cabaye alongside Sissoko with Marveaux ahead of them in the number 10 role. NUFC.COM have "Cheick Tiote will also be absent with a muscle strain."

Stifler Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 He's been a liability for a quite sometime now. An injury to him is a blessing in disguise, if it was any other first teamer I would be concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Saturday provides one of the few fixtures he's almost guaranteed to be useful in. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Worryingly another muscle strain to one of our squad. Getting a bit silly now. Fucking ridiculous, like. Not that arsed about losing Cheick, but the fact it's right before City is a pisser. As has been said, he's usually useful in that sort of game.

Sima Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 As soon as I saw this thread at the top of the page I knew what had happened. As much as Tiote has been a liability this season he's still our best player in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
