Guest neesy111 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Overall past 2 games I think he's been our worst player, just don't remember him doing anything apart from tackling last 2 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 He needs a DM next to him if you want to play 2 in front of the back 4 with 1 in front. Can't have Perch or Anita next to him the pivot, he has to do too much defensive work to cover for those two's incompetence in that role and thus him performing poorly. If Pardew wishes to use 4-2-3-1 with Cabaye as part of the 2 in the future then either Tiote needs to be fit, push Sissoko back or if possible buy a DM in the summer.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think Sissoko could work in a midfield three with Tiote playing, but not as the only DM himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Urgh, Tiote man. I can't think of any reason why I'd want him in the team these days - beyond the fact that (on his day) he's infinitely better than the alternatives. That day is so rare, though. How many times has he actually played well this season? Once off the top of my head? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has he actually played well this season? Once off the top of my head? Aye but in the role he is asked to perform he's still shit tonnes better even on his off days. Anita needs to be sitting in front of the back 4 with Cabaye or Sissoko in front to be effective, not in a pivot in front of the back chasing shit around. So Tiote is really our only alternative if Pardew wishes to persist with the 4-2-3-1 we usually play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Far too deep today, done nothing. Apart from nearly get himself a silly ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 He was decent just keeping things ticking over, a lot of people ignore the simple things he does because he makes it look easy. He was placed deep in midfield couldnt really effect the game too much, unless you want him to play 40 yard 50 yard long balls all night to cisse. You know how people are against those in here.

Scotty66 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He switched the play a couple of times tonight. One pass looked like it was going miles out for a throw in but it dropped near perfect on Simpsons chest. Needs to sort out his naughty tackles though.Been happening far too often recently.

Disco Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Been absolutely ineffectual the last 2 games, appears to be not good or disciplined enough to be a sitting midfielder for us against teams that are better than us. He doesn't sit and when he is going forward he is often slow in getting back, there was at least a couple of times yesterday when he was jogging back as Benfica midfielders sprinted past him to get in to advanced positions meaning the defence became overrun. He needs to lose faux cowardly hardman act too as it's not going to be long before it costs us, probably against Sunderland knowing our luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thought he was class today, passing is so good. Even when he's quiet he sprays the ball out well. That move where Cisse walked the ball into Schwarzer's arms, Cabaye's passing was brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 He'd be so much better if he had an extra yard of pace in him. A bit slow at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thought he was anonymous again myself, apart from a few good passes he didn't do much other than a few silly challenges. I'm sure he's carrying an injury again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
