Guest BooBoo Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There's absolute zero chemistry or understanding between him and Cabaye. Probably understandable given the shambolic pre season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There's absolute zero chemistry or understanding between him and Cabaye. Probably understandable given the shambolic pre season. Indeed, but there are really only one way that can be better, and that is for them to play together. Preferably in a midfield threesome with another man!

HawK Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just need to gently steer people's Tiote frustrations towards the Sports Direct American Tour... Oh, aye. Lot of branding was there? /no, no there wasn't. I think someone's forgetting here the purpose of this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think that clearly he's had a shocking start to the season, but I think everything should click for us soon. Tiote, alongside Cabaye, will find his form, Ben Arfa will come back, and everything will be rosy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 He'll be back to his best, just a bit of early season rustiness . When every player and his dog say how amazing he is in training , he wont be a one season wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 People talking about dropping Tiote from the team....? What is this place, a parallel universe I fail to see what is so daft about dropping players who are playing shite mind, theres no reason he should be untouchable because of his talent. I'm not onabout droping him for the next game or anything, but if a month down the line there is still no improvement it would be stupid to keep him in the side. I do expect him to turn it around, but IF he doesn't a time out may be for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 He needs to stop being predictable or he will struggle and you can sense he is getting frustrated. The coaching team need to get to work on him to mix it up. Cabaye also needs to get used to him and strange as it sounds help protect him. Too often he has found himself a little isolated and whereas last year he was able to turn out of pressure and pass it this year he hasn't and Cabaye hasn't been an option to give him an instant out. We'll find out how good a player we have got dependant on how he learns and adapts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Tiote is class. People tend to forget he didn't have a real pre-season and he now has less responsibility which means he won't get as much credit with Cabaye helping out with the dirty work. It also doesn't help him much with immobile strikers, terrible fullbacks and Obertan who looks headless on the field. He will get better with time, but I think Cabaye will make sure Tiote becomes a bit invisible (since last season he was all over the pitch due to that fat cow Nolan) and will help us becoe a much better team. We also need to have mobile strikers up top since it looks like everyone is lost when we have the ball, no organisation and positional sense whatsoever.

Mr. Snrub Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Who would people wanna see starting instead of Cheik.. Guthrie, Gosling or Smith? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 He looks like he is lacking sharpness. Gave the ball away cheeply last night on a few occassions. He will learn to work with Cabeye, they in turn will develop an understanding with the wingers and full backs. Assuming Hatem is okay, he will add alot to a 3 in the middle behind a lone striker.

eliassenfredrik Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Cheik is the last player, after Colo that should be left out of the team. He is getting there, his sloppy passes are somehow understandable when you see our possession game yesterday. He was s*** yesterday, but how s*** was Shola and Raylor then?

BlueStar Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 If he keeps giving the ball away we might keep him in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Stoke will beat us without a shadow of a doubt. The discussion was about Tiote's ability to distribute the ball under pressure. There's probably no team more effective at pressing up the pitch than Stoke. Ergo, Tiote will struggle and we'll probably lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randy Savage Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I made the observation to my mag mates last season that Tiote wants too long on the ball too often and it will start costing him eventually unless he cuts it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I made the observation to my mag mates last season that Tiote wants too long on the ball too often and it will start costing him eventually unless he cuts it out. nowt startling. he did do it far too much and it did cost us goals at least a couple of times.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 His style of play is always liable to lead to him been robbed of possession now and then, it was the same last season. This season has just been very sloppy so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give another game or two, hopefully when Ben Arfa gets back Tiote can get back to winning the ball and laying it off sharpish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 His style of play is always liable to lead to him been robbed of possession now and then, it was the same last season. This season has just been very sloppy so far. The best players hold onto the ball in tight areas, it's how you retain possession. Enrique also did this and he cost us the odd goal, but he made us play football. The alternative is hoofing the ball and we've seen what happens with that safety first option.

Dr Venkman Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 pardew needs to tell him to play the way he's facing and stop trying to turn his way out of trouble every single time. he needs to get back to basics for at least 90 mins because he's on a downward spiral atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
