Minhosa Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Poor distribution today. That's the one element of his game that has gone backwards since he signed. In the first few months after he signed, he was racking up a 90%+ accuracy rate for his passing. He's been nowhere near that for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Might be because he has more options. Who was he passing to back then, either Jose or Jonas, right? He should probably stop shooting for a while, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Such a warrior this guy. I remember when he went off all strapped up and stretchered in the Chelsea game last season, only to want to come back on a few minutes later. That was crazy shit. He looked destroyed, then he just wanders out and watches the game. Very Incredible Hulk. If you can't take him out immediately, the worse your chances get against him. The longer the fight goes on, the stronger he gets. Aye, his two shows today were horrendous. Dat slice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That moment when anita was stripped off. Camera cuts to tiote and he gestures in a sort of "chill i got this" way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got all the Deus Ex upgrades, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Played well enough defensively as always with some crunching tackles but his distribution was pretty shocking and his long range shooting is getting a bit silly tbh. He was further up the field than Cabaye for large parts of the match and that for me is a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I was happy with his intimidating presence and a couple of his tackles... less happy with his passing and shooting Got to love him though. He didn't play well but he is a talisman for the team and probably brought them all up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 His passing was generally OK, with a couple of very visible mistakes. IMO he just needs to restrict himself to shorter and more conservative balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 His long range shootings awful, people have shouted shoot at him since the Arsenal goal and he always shoots, which wouldn't be a problem but he really isn't that great at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arsenal goal is his only goal for us, really needs to stop shooting from far out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 And it was a relatively controlled shot with his weaker foot. Any time he goes for with his right he wants to lash into it so much it just ends up going over the stand. Only exception I can remember is Stoke few months ago when he had their keeper shitting himself with two similar efforts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagerstedt Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 As a defensive midfielder he's immense. But my only problem with him is that he tries too much in the attack. He's nog the most gifted passer of the ball and should only make short range passes to more creative minds. Leave crosses and such things to others. If I'm not mistaken, one of his crosses almost cost us a goal but luckily Lennon(I think it was) couldn't convert. Overall he's great. Quality attitude and he could probably crush a diamond with his fist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Said it in the Anita thread but even when Tiote's not passing well he's immense for us. Such a dominating player and scares the shit out of opposition midfielders. I think back to Arsenal when they had Viera and Petit. They might have had more skilful midfielders since but Viera especially used to destroy opposing midfields. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Tioté started running towards a Spurs guy in the second half, my stream froze and when it resumed after 3 seconds the Tottenham guy was on the floor, free kick to them and Cheik was walking away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The mohawk was looking glorious today. Adds to his intimidating presence in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Pretty standard warming up performance from Tiote, probably better than normal for this stage of the season tbh. There was a period in the second half though where he was fucking bossing it and passing it lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
