WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 did anyone hear the stat on Radio Newcastle before the game? Lowes said Tiote featured 28 times for Twente in the Eredivisie last season. However he only completed 90 minutes 3 times. For the other 25 he was either brought off or brought on.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 And? they put that against Hughton's decision to take him off against Stoke. Is he used to getting a full 90 mins on a regular basis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Superb having a midfielder whose second touch isn't a slide tackle trying to make up for a s**** first one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that McLaren often used him as a sub and brought him on when they were winning to protect the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 In any case, good players with potential, who are overlooked a bit at their current club, are probably the best signings we can be making at the moment. Great to have spotted and signed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The thing I love about him the most is that with his first touch he'll often eliminate one or two players being able to tackle him by cutting in front of them, I love it. Nailed. He has a positional awareness about him so he makes sure his first touch takes him away from danger more often than not, probably makes his first touch look better than it actually is (in the sense he doesn't seem to kill the ball stone dead, rather moves it in another direction) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 He seems like a very intelligent player. You get some players that can deceive a opponent with the use of the ball, and you get others that can deceive the opposition and make space for themselves just by the way they position themselves. Tioté seems to fall into this category. The number of times he just shifted his body and was able to move into space was very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning_Linguist Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i loved the way he smacked one of the city players after de jong busted ben arfa. Classic Moment (wasn't it Milner he had?) Anyway,I got to admit, when i see this guy play my pants Tighten. He is sooo confident on the ball and his awareness is superb. A new favourite me thinks.

Kanji Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We've needed someone like him for years. Absolutely amazed at how well he maintains possession, wins tackles, and plays good/smart passes. And gotta admit, when he stood over de Jong you know he was standing over him fuming over HBA like all of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merseyside Mag Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I was at the everton game sitting in the Park End with my dad. All i could hear from behind me is "who is that black centre mid, he is class" etc etc etc. He had a tremendous game that day, and another saturday. A positive signing most definately.

CaliMag Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 You should rewatch the game he is standing over De Jong because after Tiote schooled him De Jong grabbing his leg (by kicking out with his own legs) while still on the ground. Another offence that should have seen a card. Probably lessened (in the ref's simple mind) by the fact that Tiote walked right up to him and threatened to slap him in the face with his cock (or so it seemed on the telly anyway...).
