Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If we do stumble onto a winning formation its not going to be because it was a McClaren brainwave thats for sure, it'll be out because the usual jobs for the boys cloggers are all injured or suspended at once. Much like Pardew in the 5th season when Obertan and Raylor started picking up injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 FWIW Tron I'm not being a nob and saying you're exaggerating your own view btw, you've clearlly stated that's what you wanted, but I don't think you can act as if it was obvious choice, he's been terrible for a while.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Honestly I didn't even know this Tiote still existed Colback's 2 match ban is imminent and Anita is out for another few weeks. He's got no option but to try Tiote, Wijnaldum and Sissoko as a central 3 and mix and match the other 3 places. http://i.imgur.com/rPJKZ7w.jpg Lol, beat me to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet he is/was always the obvious choice as he is the only DM in our ranks who has shown in the past an ability to play that position effectively.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He's only the obvious choice because he's just had a good game though, you could make a case for playing literally anyone in midfield ahead of Colback and Anita because they're fucking awful. If he has a shit game today, which was highly possible, this conversation wouldn't even be happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I dislike how Colback and Anita get lumped together as if Anita isn't about 5 times better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I used to defend Anita as I wanted to see him play but he's fucking terrible man, I honestly don't think he's any better than Colback. It baffles me when people say he's had a good season, our midfield has been preposterous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm just happy to see something different, even if it's enforced. This, aye. We constantly come up with complaints and argue what we would have done/what he should have done (ie most of us wanted to got 4-4-2 after the 4-5-1 didn't work, and that didn't work either) but he just looks completely void of ideas. We're losing nothing by not switching things up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 OK, I think at this point we're just splitting sides for no reason again though. They're both not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet he is/was always the obvious choice as he is the only DM in our ranks who has shown in the past an ability to play that position effectively. and the only other choice was Abeid if we actually looked at the qualities a defensive midfielder requires in the premier, but clearly 200k from a Greek side was more important.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Was under McLaren we got rid of him. He should have had a better look at him like. He seemingly thought Obertan was better than Perez back then too; obviously didn't know the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It definitely would allow us to break up the Colb/anita axis of death. Which would be awesome. What happens if/when Aarons comes back though? be good to have some genuine pace in wide areas This is what I'd like to happen, it won't though.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that XI tbh. 2 players started less than 5 premier league games between them. Tiote picked behind a no defending midfield based on one half decent game, a striker who can't score, a winger who hasn't done anything since he signed, a defender that can just attack and a past it centre back. That's just the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
