It must be stupid day for the rubbish section of posters on here, like. I don't have a problem with anyone saying I'm wrong. I do have a problem with anyone saying I'm wrong because I favour a differ approach to football than the nonsense players like Tiote generally facilitate. We all gravitate towards different players and different styles of football.

 

 

you're great at trying to move the goalposts, you frequently called the guy a poor footballer among many other things allowing nothing for the team and football around him when he was at his absolute worst...now it's about how you favour a certain type/style of footballer

 

also good attempt to condescend [/b], you really do think you're something man :lol:

By my definition he's a poor CM. I've given this rubbish too much attention now.

We need somebody strong and powerful in midfield. I do agree we are in general poor at creating chances but this is down to not playing our most creative players and also because we don't have a number 10. Cabaye is a good centre midfielder but not particularly good at creating chances either.

Who is that behind them wistfully looking away, reminding me of myself on a football ground as all the talented kids engage in banter and I stand by the side, pretending I'm deep in my thoughts but actually feeling fat.

Cheick Tiote: We're good enough to qualify for Europe again

22 Jan 2014 07:17

Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote vows to keep up battle for Europa League place

Cheick Tiote has revealed Newcastle United are trying to bury bad memories of last season’s scrap against relegation by delivering European football this season.

 

Despite being some way off the pace in the battle for Continental competition, Tiote insists the Magpies CAN return to the Europa League at least this term.

 

The Ivory Coast midfield enforcer - currently with his team-mates in a warm weather training camp in Abu Dhabi - feels the 3-1 win at West Ham at the weekend shows the Magpies mean business this term. Newcastle are still in eighth spot in the Premier League and six points off a potential Europa League place, with sixth being a possible slot in the competition depending on who wins the League or FA Cup.

 

Now as United prepare to take on Norwich City in their next game, Tiote said: “At the moment we are in a good position.

 

“We are happy because last year it was not the same.

 

“Now we can try to win every game.

 

“If we keep trying that we can gain a Europa League place oreven a Champions League place.

 

“It is going to be tough because there are a lot of good teams in this league.”

 

Tiote also says United are using his disallowed goal against Manchester City as motivation to carry the team up the table.

 

He suggested a siege mentality has kicked in at United.

 

Tiote added: “What happened against Man City was disappointing but we did not give up.

 

“We did not get that goal but that is football.

 

“The referee was the only one on the pitch who thought it was not a goal.

 

“Since then we have focused on the pitch.

 

“We had lost four games, but winning against West Ham was massive to win the game.

 

“Everybody is focused.

 

“We are doing the right things again. Everybody is happy.”

 

That feel-good factor showed at Upton Park in the 3-1 win over the Hammers, when Tiote indicated his team-mates were on a mission to prove a point.

 

He said: “Before the game we were talking together.

 

“We said we had to come back in the right way. We will try to win every game.

 

“Everybody is focused and at West Ham we saw that it made the difference.”

Oh he was atrocious today. Lost count the amount of times he gave it away.

Basic stuff as well like simply controlling it he fucked up and don't get me started on that moment in the 2nd where it almost looked like he was involved in a betting scandal as he had about 5 minutes to pass to Krul or someone else and he just held it and held it before getting tackled and Altidore getting a one on one.

 

Back to the Shite version of Tiote today with a bang.

Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote has apologised to the club's fans after suffering the worst day of his career against Sunderland on Saturday.

 

The 3-0 derby defeat at St James' Park, the second in succession the Magpies have suffered at the hands of their arch-rivals, left the Ivory Coast international totally deflated.

 

The 27-year-old said: "All I can say to them [the fans] is sorry for this defeat again because we cannot accept that.

 

"It's two seasons now we have been beaten by Sunderland at home and this is the worst, worst thing in my career, so I just want to say sorry to them.

 

"That's football, we need to focus on the next game now."

 

Newcastle face the task of attempting to bounce back against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.

 

Tiote knows a trip to Chelsea may not represent the ideal opportunity to attempt to repair the damage of a poor, poor day, but he and his team-mates will travel hoping to do just that.

 

He said: "It's going to be hard, but we have got a chance. We have some good players in the squad, so if we do the right things, we have a chance to win.

 

"It's going to be tough because Chelsea are a good, good, good, good team. But if we do the right things, we have got a chance to win."

I've actually no problem with Cheik, I appreciate his sentiments to be honest. For some fucking reason.

 

Same. Seems he's really matured this season. Giving him the captain's armband might be one of the only good things Pardew has done. It's made him more accountable.
