Cheick Tioté (1986–2017)


Recommended Posts

I thought he was poor. His passing was indecisive and often backwards, he gave away a few free kicks, and to top it off his shooting was abysmal.

Was amusing that after his third terrible shot, the whole crowd were shouting shoot at him when he picked the ball up in front of our back four about 60 yards out.

It wasn't funny the first time. It's never been funny since. I'm sick of watching him shoot. I wonder how many attempts he's had since his goal against Arsenal.

If you are judging him off his first two seasons then you'd say it was an average game but based off last seasons form then it was a pretty good game.

A couple of scary moments (which tbf he handled well) but I thought he was at his best today. Love seeing him playing to his capabilities rather than doing stuff he isn't suited to. One of our better players today.

He is at his best when he does his job and keeps things simple. It is when he believes his own hype to much and starts to do things beyond his ability that he comes unstuck.

Has played well lately tbh, but i still think he takes too much time before passing the ball. Anita makes it tick a lot better. Tioté is stronger though.

He was quite good today but I'm not sure if he actually breaks up enough attacks to justify his selection ahead of Anita, who is much better in possession. I don't like those situations where he's ahead of Cabaye.

 

That said, the midfield is functioning well in general so can't really complain.

Lack of Mapou meant there was a bigger gap between Cheik and the defense today imo and resulted in some shakey moments where they broke beyond him and he looked at sea. Largely good though, very happy to see him back in form.

Still frightens me when he has the ball but its been like this since he joined, starting to look more and more like his old self.
