ATB Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Absolutely bossed the middle of the park today. Won everything in the first. Shame the Beggar got to his shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Dominated the middle of the park. Played really well and kept is simple for most of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I thought his forward movement and passing was fantastic today, He gets the ball moving quicker than most in the middle. Only thing that lets him down is that he is like a cannon when he sprays the ball to the wings, Our players have fantastic first touches to deal with the pace on them ha.

Skirge Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Those two shots in the second half He's learned to not put it over the roof with his right foot! Superb save to get to his first effort, would have been better than the Arsenal goal, not as meaningful but a better goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Good apart from some sloppy passing, especially in the first half iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's interesting when he's out of the team for a couple games and then comes back how you realize how much he's missed. He does his thing quietly and efficiently game after game. His calmness under pressure when winning / taking the ball in dangerous areas is invaluable.

Guest Tyson Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Vital component in a 433, a system which is very player specific & difficult to piece together successfully. His physical presence, play-reading & capacity cover space allows the front 3 to express itself in attack. From an overall team perspective Tiote's strengths are just as important as HBA's ability to disrupt an opposition rearguard's shape (drawing defenders out of position) and the combined movement of Cisse and Ba. Throw a proper ball-playing RB (as a support outlet for HBA ) all three strengths become much more relevant . Under defensive pressure the unleashing a more balanced RB (than Simpson) into the mix adds an additional release valve/outlet (notably for HBA). It's difficult to fathom that many other cheap discoveries would immediately be able to slot into, and make a comparable impact in a player specific system. Carr's recent track record will tested to the max if Ashley cashes in his chips. Tiotes and Vieras (although a more rounded than the former) don't grow on trees.

OoOGazOoO Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The first of those two shots he had towards the end of the match deserved to go in I thought it was in! Was a great shot, and a very good save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We look much better with him and his physicality, intelligence and ability to collect the ball off the centre back's feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So fucking good! Obviously happy that he was back. But was more like "meh" because we has been playing so good lately. But my god how good he is and how much he brings to the table A beast. A real beast that also can handle a ball really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think Cheik needs a chant! Since he has the Mr T haircut, we could do the A-Team title music. "Cheik Tiote, durdur durrr, Cheik Tiote, durdur durdurdur durrrrr" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He's a beast wor Tiote. When he's playing, he's driving us forward and can make opposition attackers shit themselves over having to deal with his ferocious style of play. He's got an inner desire that the top players have in that he gives his all. There are times when he'll turn and play a quick ball to switch play, or sometimes will try some brilliant long balls (and some bad!) but his passing is excellent at times. A player I wish and hope will stay with us forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
