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.

At least SOMEONE who has an ounce of self-responsibility and has the balls to apologize to the fans. Instead of blaming them and absolving himself of any responsibility, like our motherfucking boss. Thanks, Chiek. Too good for Alan Pardew. Like many of our players.

Hope the mackems game was a one off and he'll be back to playing well again, which to be fair to him in the past few months he has done. And then I hope we sell him in the summer for good money.

 

The way he holds onto the ball unnecessarily is absolutely disgraceful (almost as disgraceful as Pardew not at least trying to stamp down on this part of his game, or more likely encouraging it). His ego on the pitch leads him to think he's a better footballer than he is when he needs to realise he's nothing more than a water carrier (and a very good one at that if he only played like one).

 

And whilst this may come across as being the words of a Hatem fanboy, I'm fed up with the number of times Tiote completely ignores passing to Ben Arfa when he comes short to Cheik. It happens like 95% of the time. Tiote on the ball, Hatem who has been starved of the ball comes towards where Tiote is facing and is open for the pass, Tiote then decides to switch direction and spread the play elsewhere, as though the team is better off by using the only player able to create chances as a decoy. Just a pure knobhead.
