We look a far better team with an up for it and on his game Tiote in it. Shame he's hardly shown that form for the past couple of years.

 

He was Pardewed.

You would think that the one player that couldn't really be Pardewed would be a hard working defensive midfielder. But alas, Pardew found a way to try and make him into something he isn't and fucked him up in the process.

Injuries hasn't helped him either mind, feels like he hasn't been fully fit for two or three years.

Yep, when Pardew came out with the 'he can be Michael Essien bollocks'. Never been the same since, until tonight.

Such a frustrating player.  Based on the second half, that is as well as he's played for us in years, possibly since his debut away at Everton.  But he only seems to turn up for games against the big boys, or his style just suits those games.  The fact that he is AWOL for most of the season and then when he does play, looks overweight, uninterested and s***.

 

If he plays like that for the rest of the season.  I don't think we'll concede too many from open play.

Absolute Beast last night, best player on the park.

 

Did narf get stuck into Bony in a couple of aerial challenges and had him proper rattled.

 

Aye, battle that. Put some determined challenges into Yaya early doors too. Think he wanted to show his international team mates and his country that he can mix it with the best they have.

He's always in the right place at the right time under Rafa. Keeps us ticking and holding possession.  Not getting the silly cards as much either. Plays the holding role that Rafa uses so well.
