Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Play him in place of Perch please. Yes, but harsh on Perch who has been good the last couple of games. Can see Pardew not bringing him straight back. Perch was our worst performer yesterday. We can't go to Spurs away with him in central midfield like we did last season. I'd keep that kind of opinion in here. Mention that on Twitter and the more knowledgeable fans on Twitter will have your head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Perch did stick out like a sore thumb. Who was defending him? NUFC Fans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It is a unique experience when your team plays against Tiote. I was always scared that this guy would try to kill some of our players. I was relieved that Mikel Obi finished the match with two working legs. At the same time, he is a competent passer of the football. He makes us more formidable in a way that Perch, Anita, and even Sissoko do not. If we play him properly, I will very pleased to have him back. Nail on the head. No one gives us what Tiote does. Yes he's been a bit sloppy, but even in those games he's done a lot of good stuff which gets overlooked. I'm really hoping that Sissoko in front of him will see him getting back to basics.

Ronaldo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Don't think we've missed him that much at all but he's obviously far better than Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I love how everyone is changing their tact because he's coming back before he left he was a liability and wanted him sold now he's the savior He's been bad this season there's no getting around that, if he suddenly improves his performance then fair play but i don't think its certain he will come back and perform because he's surrounded by better players. He was hot and cold last season and he's been bad this, really an example of a player being away for a while and suddenly being hyped up to something he isn't. Fair play if he comes back and performs and i will admit i was wrong but i fail to see where all this confidence is coming from. He's obviously miles better than Perch though, bad performances or not but fact is Perch shouldn't be playing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VegasToon Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 He is miles ahead of Perch. Playing him in front of the back four like Perch yesterday... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 hope Ivory Cost failing (again) at the ACN doesn't get him too down and he can meet the new lads and get his old confidence back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't think the guy can run a midfield on his own but think there's every chance he can come back to form with the new personnel around him. Needs to keep it simple and stop playing like a moron though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Tiote is going to be incredible. No question about it. He will be coming back to a team where people actually show for the ball, and there is movement. He'll be brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 He won't be brilliant if he tries to do it all on his own and picks up a booking every week. You'd hope that won't be the case though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to keep it simple and stop playing like a moron though. Exactly. The likes of Cabaye, Sissoko, Gouffran and Ben Arfa (when he comes back) playing mean he can stop overdoing it and get back to his bread and butter of winning it and giving it on. The pressure is not there to hold it or bring it forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Lord give me strength ... Why would he try to do it on his own with Cabaye and Sissoko in the midfield with him? People are being way to harsh with Tiote. At least he isn't a coward, shirking responsibility. He actually tries to make things happen. Not his fault he was being played in a midfield two with inexperienced partners while Cabaye was out. He's at his best in a midfield three, and will give pass the ball well, and on time when people show for it. Have people forgotten how bad our movement was when Ba and Cisse were being played up top in a 4-4-2? I will bump this thread continuously to show up all you doubters when he comes back and is outstanding! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tioté has been poor for much longer than just this season though, unlike the majority of the rest of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
