Foluwashola Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Great to see a proper midfielder in the centre again. Begs the question why he's only being introduced when one of Anita or Colback is unavailable when neither should be playing whenever Cheick is fit to play. He was very good today but let's not pretend he hasn't been cataclysmically shit in 90% of games he's played in over the last couple of years. Hope he can continue to produce as he did today.

The point is that the other two aren't capable of producing any dominant performance in midfield because they aren't built for it either physically or mentally. A tiote at 80% is better than either of those two put together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well aye, but it's not like anyone was calling for Tiote to start games earlier in the season like We need a change though and Tiote doing what he did today is a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Pleased he's getting credit for today - a fit and in form Tiote greatly improves our survival chances, just need someone who knows how to use the ball alongside him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 When he pulled out that random shoulder drop on the edge of the arsenal box . He's an enigma I had no idea what was going on like, was stunned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good stuff from paperback Cheick TIOTE 6 Was OK but failed to grasp his chance, which will lead to questions over his commitment What? :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he's been god awful every time he's played for about 4 years. Exactly. A proper midfielder is Speed, Lee, Dyer or Cabaye. Not Cheick fucking Tiote.

Kanji Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If we're not signing anyone in CM, he HAS to play and he has to have Sissoko next to him playing the CM box to box role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He looked 10/11 or 11/12 form IMO. Quick on the ball, played it forward and did very well to break up play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He hasn't been as bad for the past few years as some very loud people have been telling everyone here on N-O. A fit Tiote with a run of games behind him is superior to Colback and Anita in everything a CM is asked to do. He just can't stay fit and will probably be injured again if he plays regularly. CM is the top need for January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Impressed by him today. Have we ever played him and Anita without Colback? I don't think it would work, ideally you want a more attacking player in front of him, leaving him to be the midfield enforcer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good stuff from paperback Cheick TIOTE 6 Was OK but failed to grasp his chance, which will lead to questions over his commitment Obviously worried about a possible swell of support for an Anita/Tiote combination at CM.
