Skirge Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Cheick Tiote warning of tougher times ahead by Lee Ryder, Evening ChronicleSep 19 2011 Comments (4) Recommend (2) inShare CHEICK TIOTE roared his way back into form at Aston Villa. But has warned that the “unforgiving” nature of the Premier League will not allow them to take anything for granted. Tiote’s performance at Villa Park was by far his best of the campaign so far after a sluggish start was caused by a two-week pre-season stint in Ghana. The player was forced to train alone and wait for his visa application to come through in time for the start of the season. However, Tiote looked more like the player who wooed Toon fans in his first term of English football as he dominated the midfield battle alongside Yohan Cabaye. And he provided the assist for the Magpies’ deserved equaliser against the Villans, Leon Best supplying the finish in the second half. United are unbeaten in six games in league and cup but have some way to go if they are to level the 17 game unscathed spell of 1994/95 in the Premier League, League Cup and UEFA Cup. Tiote told the Chronicle: “This is a very tough league and you need to play at your best if you want to do well. “We are happy to stay unbeaten, but we know if we want to keep it up we have to stay focused. “We have to go out there every game – and do our job.” Tiote’s link up play with France international Cabaye was the standout feature of the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. And the Ivory Coast midfielder believes that Newcastle were good value for the point. Tiote added: “I think we played well. “There were some good performances from the players, and I think we could have won the game in the end. “It’s disappointing that we didn’t win because we did enough to take all three points. “I think we had enough chances to win, but this is football. “We have to take the point and take the performance and try to build on them in the next game.” Next up for United is the Carling Cup clash at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground. Tiote may be amongst those Toon stars who are rested at Forest tomorrow, but he is already looking ahead to Blackburn Rovers. He said: “It will be a tough test, because Blackburn are a good team with good players so it won’t be an easy game. “But we are at home in front of our fans so it is up to us to do everything we can to win the game.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/09/19/cheick-tiote-warning-of-tougher-times-ahead-72703-29445960/#ixzz1YPGl958W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 "Yohan is a good player, with good technique," Tiote told BBC Newcastle. "He gets forward, and that's good for me because I have the opportunity to play behind him." Tiote continued: "That's my job, I have to do that, the manager [Alan Pardew] told me, and Yohan's a good partner for me. "It's not my quality to score and go forward, and I'm happy." The Ivory Coast international has remained a regular in the Magpies first-team this season, making five starts despite missing much of pre-season awaiting a visa. "I feel good now, but because I missed pre-season I was behind, as I had missed two games," Tiote added. "I was training alone, and it's not the same, they had played the two games without me. "That is football, I had to forget about that and work hard to come back." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
