@OptaJoe 99 - Cheik Tiote attempted more passes today than any other player ever from a visiting Premier League team at the Emirates Stadium. Pass.

 

Yeah. Attempted.

 

Completed most of them

 

His problem is holding onto the ball too long, for the goal he could have played a simple pass to Bigi instead he held onto it and lost it

Yeah. Attempted.

 

As I said earlier in the thread, the completion rate was still about 90%. Unfortunately the 10% tend to be in the worst possible areas of the field.

 

Anyway, his distribution certainly wasn't his biggest problem today. He just didn't look arsed.

Yeah. Attempted.

 

90% completion tbh.

 

His passing wasn't the problem, it was dwelling on the ball and being caught in possession.

I really, really don't mind him trying to keep possesion and moving it around on the floor but as said there are 10 yard, simple passes where he doesn't look up/plays it too short etc.. that get us into trouble a player at this level shouldn't be making these mistakes. I can only conclude he is too confident in his ability and is just assuming the ball will get there so isn't thinking enough about it.

 

The misplaced passes in our half aren't adventurous, they're just sloppy.

 

I think that's just an attitude problem which suggests a lack of direction from the manager.

Drogba tips Tiote to become Magpies legend

Nov 29 2010 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

 

CHELSEA star Didier Drogba today told the Toon Army: “You have one hell of a player on your hands in Cheik Tiote.”

 

And in an exclusive interview with the Chronicle, Drogba has tipped Newcastle United’s midfield dynamo to go on and be a Premier League legend.

 

The words of the Ivory Coast World Cup ace – who drew a blank in the 1-1 draw at Gallowgate – are praise indeed for the 24-year-old, with the usually evasive Drogba not someone who would normally bask in the media limelight.

 

But Drogba made his feelings clear before leaving Tyneside and said: “Cheik is a very good player, he played very well against us at St James’ Park and did well for his team.

 

“For the Ivory Coast he is a very important player for us as people saw in the World Cup for our national team.

 

“I think Newcastle United supporters have only seen half of his potential so far.

 

“You have only seen half the player.

 

 

“I say that because the more he plays in the Premier League at first-team level the better he will become.”

 

Tiote was desperate to face his idol Michael Essien yesterday, but the Stamford Bridge man was suspended.

 

The ex-FC Twente player picked up man of the match honours again on his own return from the sin bin.

 

Now Drogba, who has won 10 medals since arriving on the Premier League scene six years ago, thinks there were will be much more to come.

 

He said: “I think he is going to go on and be one of the strongest players in this league.

 

“I have to say that physically he is a bit stronger than me.

 

“And that means he will a lot better for it.

 

“Newcastle well and truly have a star player on their hands and the fans should be pleased.”

 

Drogba was satisfied with a point for the champions at St James’, but Newcastle fans were sweating when he rattled the ball past Tim Krul late on.

 

Drogba explained why it had not stood, he said: “The goal was a handball.

 

“I wasn’t fouled but the reason I was disappointed was because two minutes before there was an action when I tried to cross and the defender touched it with his hand.

 

“But he didn’t give it, so that’s why I disappointed.

 

“We created a lot of chances.

 

“The problem was Newcastle scored so early in the game.

 

“Then we had to chase and it means you leave more space and you create more fatigue.

 

“That then makes it difficult to create the opportunities you do get.”

Eh? Are you trying for the Most Random Bump of the Year award? ???

It's rather sad to see that he's not the force that he used to be. The signs are still there mind so I'm still going to put my trust into him. All he has to do is to get back to basics and stop trying to do complicated stuff. He has to remember that his job is to protect the defence and to find the simple pass to our attackers, he's been dawdling on the ball a bit too much for my liking this season.

He has been way below par, but then again so have many others, including Krul, Colo and Cabaye (when he was fit obviously). They are big players for us when on form. When all of them are off the boil, every little thing is over-emphasised. When he is at the top of his game, he is excellent. But how often have we seen that?

I thought he was good until around 65 minutes.

 

He was good in some parts of his game but he did give the ball away in daft areas. We've got enough players in his area of the pitch to leave him out for the odd game just to keep him on his toes. He does seem to have got sloppy this season.

Pardew put midfielder James Perch in as Coloccini's partner and he said: "It hasn't been often that we went into a game with James at centre-half. He's been doing terrific for us in midfield and we missed him a little bit in there, just to shore the game up. So what you gain from him stepping in at centre-half, we missed in midfield."

 

Perch > Tiote. :lol:
