Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I love the twisty turny spinny thing he does. Like Parker did, but he actually does something with it, and carries the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Shame we will find it hard to keep him.. nailed on the big boys will come knocking soon enough. Like who? Like anyone who wants a top quality DCM but for starters I think he would be what Wenger is missing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I love the twisty turny spinny thing he does. Like Parker did, but he actually does something with it, and carries the ball. Exactly what I was thinking yesterday. He did it to great effect a few times. He completely ran midfield. I think I'm falling in love with him.

Its funny.. he can have 4 around him he starts spinning they sort of fall away and he comes out of it with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 A little more sober than yesterday but think the same, he is brilliant. Will have the odd bad game but more often will be a class above most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Tiote looks pretty similar imo to Lassana Diarra, who Madrid paid £20m for when he was at Portsmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 My only concern is his foul rate. Yellow card seems to be a minimum charge each match. Not really - apart from the Wigan match he has looked okay on the foul front 1 yellow card in 5 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Must be confusing him with James Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Can I just say again, brilliant. He will be up there with Jose in terms of ability if he continues this until may. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 He is our most important player. He is the link we have been missing for quite some time. We would not have been relegated with him playing and our survival this season will depend an awful lot on his availability. Take him out and you are looking at the likes of Smith, Barton or even Guthrie trying to play that role. The fact that Smith was used in that position for so long shows how weak we were and also shows poor activity in the transfer market since we allowed Parker to go. I've been hugely impressed. Reminds me of Batty but I believe he'll become better still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosstoon Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I love the way he made Scott Parker look invisible for 90 minutes and they way he likes the Cruyff trun on the edge of the box. Great addition to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Man of the Match for me on saturday. Great signing, haven't had a player like this since Acuna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The only thing that worries me about him is he has a very limited range of passing. I've yet to really see him even try to hit a pass more than 10 yards. Don't get me wrong, I echo what everyone else says about him being a very good player and a bargain at the price, but I don't think he's got much creativity in his locker. And yes, I know he's not been brought in to ping 70 yard balls across field, I just think it'd make him an even better player if he had a wider range of passing.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I really don't want him to be hitting passes more than 10 yards, not necessarily anyway. If he develops a wider range of passing as he gets more comfortable then great, but at the moment I don't see it as a weakness at all. He retains possession.

I much rather see him just lay the ball off to his closest team mate and make sure we keep possession than doing a Nicky Butt and just give the ball back straight away. He very rarely plays a player into trouble as well, he finds the easy pass and makes it and more often than not the receiving player has options what to do with it.

Nobody Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 There was one moment where he had one crazy style of running to get to the ball on the touchline. I must have missed this, around what minute was it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
