Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Surrounded by shit doesn't explain why pretty much all of his iffy performances have come at SJP. There's a genuine limit to how effective he can be at home. The games against Stoke and Wigan in particular highlighted this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one player, probably the best we've got and can't do everything on his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Has anyone worked out how many points he has cost us this season? 3 today. 2 last week. 3 v Blackburn (h) He's not a bright lad for sure. Honestly man you're a fucking joke anyway... W D L F A Pts With 8 6 7 34 25 30 Without 1 3 4 10 16 6 Conclusion - you're shit, he's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Of course it does, and I never said otherwise. How come that makes him the definition of an away player? Because he's a far more effective player when he simply sits in front of the defence and stifles. Look at his 3 best performances and 3 worst performances and a pattern will emerge. When he's expected to cover more ground, the recovery tackles come flying in and so does the occasional bad pass. He's still our best midfielder by a mile, don't get me wrong. Agree with this. Was concerned when Pardew commented on how he'd like Tiote to contribute more going forward, if its not broke dont fix it. Tiote is the player who will make the team tick and to get the best out of Tiote he needs to be surrounded by attack minded players, for me his only job should be the makelele role - break down opposition play then pass to said players.

ponsaelius Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 He'd be phenomenal with a proper ball-playing central midfielder along side him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 He is becoming more than a DCM for us, even taking some set pieces.. dunno if am happy with it or not, we need a DCM to sit in there and protect the back four. He put some excellent balls into the box for our forwards to fail at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew did say he could be a real force going forward if done correctly, agree with you though to a degree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just hope Pardew doesn't ruin him like Roeder did with Parker. The man's a natural DM, there's no need to turn him into an all rounder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The fact that Tiote was the one trying to create things, shows the lack of creativity we had yesterday. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see him trying to do things when those around him aren't, but he shouldn't have to be doing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I don't think Tiote is an out and out DM tbh. He is always closing far too high up the pitch to be the Makelele type. As with Parker he does not have the positional sense to be a pure DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its great. He's capable of creating and protecting at the same time isnt he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
