Tiote today takes way too many chances. Remember at last game one particular situation where he rather turned a player with brute force instead of the easy option of a backpass. It was such a silly thing to do and is one of the things that really buggers me about him nowdays.

 

No matter how bad he is at times with taking chances, when he is not in that middle we look much more open, 2nd half Wigan had a fair bit of space at times in there. That rarely happens when Tiote is around

 

pretty much what i was getting at after the game as well :thup:

 

despite his 'sillyness' when he's passing and trying to turn his way out of trouble, when he was off in the second half it's ridiculous how easy it is for the opposition to cut us open with a ball from the centre of the field, really miss his energy imo.

He completed 27 of 29 passes in the first half I think I read at halftime. He obviously needs to do some stuff better and just try to sit infront of the back four and play it simple to the fullbacks or Anita when he comes down to pick up the ball.

 

Tiote is still a vital part of this team, and I think if he can get a run of games going until January we will see him in much better shape for the remainder of the season.

 

Pards has obviously gotten through to him to cut out some of the over-aggressive tackling that gets him booked automatically. He's also slowly learning to pass it short and release quicker. His little spin-move that was so successful in his first season seems to be getting him into trouble at times. But he's doing it less than he was earlier in the season. He's passing simpler, which is great. Just needs to cut out the amount of times hes shooting, which I'm sure will come next.

 

He played well in that first half, much more composed and control of himself. He's so vital to our team it's ridiculous.

 

Now if only he could just pass the ball at goal vs. blasting it :lol:

 

Could have justifiably been booked twice inside the first 5 minutes.. :lol:

I've been going mad about him tonight, but to be fair, he's not the main problem. If we had a half decent manager I've got a feeling most of our players, including Cheik, would look a lot better.

 

Edit: was still fucking shit tonight mind.
