Foluwashola Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football pitch like. Let's see if your man Colback comes back into the reckoning instead then. Would rather Colback than Tiote tbf. I know you would prefer Colback, which is why I'm interested to see how this pans out with Rafa as I don't think Colback is physically capable of playing a central midfield role, whereas Tiote is when he can be arsed. Colback is like a little yorkshire terrier trotting around a park full of dobermans and rottweilers. Tiote is a crippled crossbreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTop Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Once he's match sharp he'll start partnering Shelvey regularly, particularly away from home. He's leagues ahead of Colback and Hayden isn't quite the finished article. He by no means 'bosses the midfield' like he once could but he excels at everything Shelvey doesn't.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Once he's match sharp he'll start partnering Shelvey regularly, particularly away from home.

Spot on, but not many will agree with you because Hayden is a favourite even though hes got a lot of work still to do, albeit a very good prospect, and everyone has it in their heads that Tiote is disruptive in the dressing room based on.... some newspaper?

Ronaldo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The only thing Tiote excels in that Shelvely doesn't is being African. Fortunately he'll be back where he belongs in obscurity before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The only thing Tiote excels in that Shelvely doesn't is being African. Fortunately he'll be back where he belongs in obscurity before long. He started in our 6 game unbeaten run last season, why are you writing him off at championship level? Its a bit odd. Especially given the time you've given to Dummet, who's had worse performances over the long run in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Because he's a fucking utterly shit footballer who's laughably past his peak as an athlete and (on his best day) an answer to a question that never gets asked by teams at this level.

Jayson Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Seemed pretty rejuvenated end of last season. He can be an answer if he retains us the ball in midfied in rotation with Hayden for me. Accepted that he's not going to light it up going forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 i'd play him ahead of colback 100% of the time like, if bringing him back into the fold means colback is further from the first team i'm in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He's easily better than Colback, as he proved at the end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 They are both shit. Colback is slightly better with the ball and Tiote better without it but they are both shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 They're both shit. People say he's better than Colback but can never actually point out why. Neither can protect a defence, help us retain possession or influence us going forward. It's driven home why we're 5th in the Championship when we're even discussing such players. We're the only club stupid enough to pay them wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 TBF he's no worse than Shelvey for our CM options. Thick as a castle wall. Shelvey has upped his game massively thanks to his fitness levels. I agree that this statement has proven to be bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the only club stupid enough to pay them wages. Tiote can and does give us 2/3 of those aspects. Yes, even now. He regularly breaks up opposition attacks and shuts up the space in front of our CB's that has been gaping all too often this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 He's the worst player to bring off the bench when you're protecting a lead, like. He just induces so much panic into the team because he shits himself and tries to play his way out of trouble and gives away daft fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Colback is better than Tiote, this comes from someone who doesn't rate Colback at all. Colback is match fit ( ), Tiote's not. Colback is a worthless turd of a human being at his very best. Tiote can be serviceable at times. Neither should be anywhere near this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Even in this league he's been nothing more than average at best. We fell to pieces when he came on for the last 15 mins against Villa. I'd still put him in ahead of Colback but clearly Shelvey and Hayden is our best central midfield pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Even in this league he's been nothing more than average at best. I don't like him or rate him anymore really but he's always been absolutely shit unless he's been match fit and in top shape. He's just so unprofessional. Hope we get rid soon and move on from him.
