Jordan Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'd rather play Anita than Tiote every game not because Tiote hasn't been playing well this season but because Anita's a far superior footballer and has a much better technical game. He's been schooled better and despite not having Tiote's physicality he's ten times better on the ball and picking a pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was crap in the first half and a bit better in the second, meaning that he was finding team mates with the the ball. in the first half, 19 of his 23 passes where successful. Ok, I saw him try to control the ball, under little pressure, quite a few times and fail. He also gave away a few daft free kicks. I thought he was shite.

Willow Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think when on a dodgy pitch we'll need our best passers/ball controllers on the field, so I'm really hoping Anita plays the next game. I'd have Tiote on the bench for Vurnon to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Very poor today, think he lacks confidence to impose himself, not doing what we need him to do, pressure high up, circulate the ball. I've seen him be good for us enough that I do think there's a player there, just didn't do much, and tbh Bigi may have been better option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took time to settle in, got into a rhythm, was one of our best players and now having basically had a couple of months off he looks rusty again.

Guest Dontooner Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Suffering from a lack of instructions, he might be good in a tactical team but without instructions he looks half the player he is. This might be harsh but there is not a spot for him in the starting 11 currently. He doesnt fit the Destroyer role , does not distribute the ball well enough and not able to dribble out of dangerous zones effectively. He needs to further change his game to find a role for us, based on his attributes he might be a bad buy for us if we intended for him to play in the middle.

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Not really a surprise he's not hitting the heights of Christmas, he's not exactly been treated well since the new players came in. There's a quality player in there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He was our best player in the reverse leg and looked really good in the absence of Cabaye earlier in the season tbf. Not sure why he's now supposedly a passenger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He looks good when we pass, pass, pass through the middle. Today we looked only to belt long passes in Cisse's general direction. Not his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
