Pilko Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Oh aye, Pardew is spot on when he says he's going to try and help him get less cards. About a third of his bookings are avoidable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Oh aye, Pardew is spot on when he says he's going to try and help him get less cards. About a third of his bookings are avoidable. It seems to me that a lot of them are when he loses the ball and then lunges after it to reclaim possession and 9/10 times ends up fouling the player.

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Maybe if we had someone alongside him that is mobile and can control a ball he would get less cards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I'd play him, we need to buy some acceptable cover anyway for the start of next season. Every position is worth more money and will have the potential of bagging winning or losing an extra couple of million. Its a risk worth taking, we need to be playing are best players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Tiote gave a very exasperated reaction to his booking against Birmingham, and I think he realised its significance. I suspect he knew in advance that it meant it would be his last game this season, though that's obviously not something that Pardew's going to go public with. He's so involved with the play and puts in so many tackles that he's bound to collect more yellows than most players, but he is also prone to rushes of blood to the head. Opinions differ on the Stevenage sending off, but he seemed very wound up at the situation we were in, and jumped into a dangerous challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Decision to play him should be based on what value we think we can get from improved league positions, and also whether we expect a backup player to be in place for start of next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well both of those questions are pretty hard to answer - we don't know whether playing Tiote will make any difference to our league position and we probably have no idea whether we'll be able to design a backup player at this point.

Lush Vlad Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It was pretty heartbreaking watching his reactions on Saturday, he just looked like he was given the news he was about to get killed by Nigerian rebels :lol: brilliant! I thought it was quite funny at the same time TBH, he smashed a hole in the middle of the pitch. I know what you mean though, it was obvious he knew what was coming and I'm sure AP warned him before the match, such a needless booking, didn't look like he touched him, but I was in L7 and he certainly stuck a leg out after losing it. I accept him getting cards playing defensive midfield for a mid table club, especially when he has someone as unfit as Nolan playing alongside him. A lot of the time he gets carded because of persistent fouling or he takes one for the team as such (e.g after Campbells fuck up against Liverpool). But, as others have said, some of his cards are just rash and brainless. Hopefully now he has adapted to the pace of the game and what constitutes a yellow, he will simmer down a bit. Glad to see Pardew will be going through his bookings with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 14 yellow cards in 26 league starts. Should sit out the rest of the season, give him some time to think about what he's doing. Maybe we could even make a naughty corner in the dressing room and make him sit in it. Exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The fact that Pardew has even mentioned dropping him means theres no going back. He knows it'd be silly not to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awareness is always the first part of any improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Maybe if we had someone alongside him that is mobile and can control a ball he would get less cards to be fair though it was his own crap control of the ball that caused him to get his booking against Birmingham.
