buzza Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 When he plays well he's a beast and he's pretty positive when trying to pass to people. I would personally have Anita in for him in the middle until we score a/some goals and then bring him on to shore up defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 15 cleansheets for us last season with Tiote-Cabaye proving a formidable partnership despite often being outnumbered in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing you do when your on a bad run, stop conceding and get the clean sheets in. Then you go looking for some goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Been tremendous this game. I've been a massive critic this season but he has been old Tiote today, any praise is thoroughly deserved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 He was fantastic, really want to say that because i have gave him a lot of stick but playing like today and you see how important he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hardly surprising, with sissoko he can now concentrate on doing had he does best rather than trying to shape himself into a box to box player that he can never be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Chibas Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Tiote the defensive lynchpin, with a clearly defined instruction (in a pass&move philosophy) to keep it simple, with Cabs' passing range & Anita's run&carry (link-up) is still my preferred mix in the middle. Fullbacks, with Haidara in the picture, provide the width in the middle third. And of course there's the option of dropping Moussa back into mf line of three, for added power. However i'd like to see the continued development of Anita. Tiote's presence eases Anita's defensive workload, and releases the shackles - allowing him to focus on what he does best ie. run&carry + link-up. Imho this is the ideal midfield set-up to blood Anita. Tiote, in this set-up, if used correctly (has the engine to play sideline-to-sideline/cover the fbs, not that Cabs & Anita dont provide workmanlike value in defense) has the makings to be our Makalele.

Funny you say that though, he got forward quite a lot today for some reason. Relatively speaking of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
