Minhosa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Every game he plays, he's at huge risk of getting sent off. The strange thing is, he is seemingly getting more aggressive and rash than when he first joined. Nobody can say that the amount of yellows he picks up is acceptable. Truth be spoken.

The strange thing is, he is seemingly getting more aggressive and rash than when he first joined. Nobody can say that the amount of yellows he picks up is acceptable. For such an aggressive player, he's only been sent off once in his entire time here. And even then, people were arguing it should never have been a red card.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's childish and pathetic truth to be told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ah whatever. He's nowhere near the biggest problem. Nowhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 How many bans has he had for yellow card totters though? I've not got the stats to hand but I wouldn't be surprised to see he's been booked in every game he's played in this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he just looks so angry all the time nowadays, not to mention that he was much more effective when he stuck to simple sideway passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ah whatever. He's nowhere near the biggest problem. Nowhere near. Nobody's saying he's the biggest problem but his lack of discipline coupled with a ridiculous petulant streak is worthy of note. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The biggest problem is that it's often early on that he gets the booking, which reduces his subsequent influence for too much of the match. Thought he was pretty poor today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I actually think the booking was harsh if it was for his reaction afterwards. He didn't confront the ref or kick the ball away, and was just expressing his frustration with a roar of anguish. I thought it was totally hilarious tbh He's always shite when he comes back from injury for a few games but if he can get himself on a run then I have confidence that he'll be back bossing things.

Tsunami Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Stupid booking, never a foul. Piss poor passing throughout the game - again. Very important player - not playing well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thought he was very poor today. Shadow of his normal self. What is his normal self though? He excels once every ten games. His normal self is a 6/10 showing with over aggression and a yellow card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The only consistent thing with him is the inconsistency of his performances at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Getting increasingly thuggish at an alarming rate. Used to be composed and unlucky, but now he looks really angry on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Actually, thinking of it, he hasn't been up to his original dominance since he that day last February where the Zambians had him laid on the pitch in tears. Maybe that contributed to his emotional instability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I think he's begun to believe his own hype with the hard man/ psycho image and that silly hair cut. I wish he would just get back to basics and be the player he looked during his first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Has been unlucky with injuries this season and hasn't had a decent run in the side yet. Nearly every game he's played in he's been booted or landed awkwardly early on (Spurs and Reading come most obviously to mind). Think he needs a run of games and will be fine, can't believe how much criticism he's come in for today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 He was absolutely minging today but apart from Perch, Santon and partial exceptions for Ferguson and Jonas, all of our players were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Although on here he seems to have gained the "protected species" status, I have to say I think (and quite a few who attend games agree) that he is becoming a liability to us. His aggression is not controlled, it's reckless and potentially costly. He over elaborates in the wrong areas and regularly loses posession through very poor short passes. When he went out last season most of us feared we'd suffer in his absence. Truth is we actually looked better with Perch playing the "holding" role in midfield as he was a better tackler, passer and seemed to play a lot more intelligently than Tiote. If there was ever any truth in the rumours about big clubs being interested (and I'm not sure there was) and a big fee being offered, I'd snap their hand off.

Guest neesy111 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Neil is correct about Tiote and Cabaye tbh. Few them without black and white specs on and they aren't anything special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 May just be me but does anyone else think he's become a bit too big? He's put on a lot of mass since his debut against Everton. He doesn't need more weight to boss midfields and as it stands he's a worse player now than he was in 2010. I'm not sure whether this ties into these pirouettes and the way he nearly always loses out on them now, as opposed to how he used to be in complete control. Or I could just be reading too much into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
