TRon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Cracking little player. Proved quite a few doubters wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 played well, keeps possession better than anyone we have, if he could add more moments like Cabaye is capable of he'd be the perfect midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Fantastic today. He's getting good at holding off opponents and nipping around them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Cracking little player. Proved quite a few doubters wrong. In my opinion he's a lot more than that. Today he absolutely bossed the midfield. On this form, he's extremely difficult to play against if you're an opposition midfielder. His reading of the game is unreal.

Robbo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Absolutely vital to winning the second ball. Taking him off lost us that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look a lot better passing side when he's starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Was great today. As great as Tiote has been, keeping him on instead of Anita makes no sense when we are trailing in a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 thought he was a passenger in the 1st half and game passed him by but was trememdous in the 2nd half and was probably the best player on the pitch at the time he was subbed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He did look tired when he came off so maybe a bit of player management there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Really think we would have equalised had he stayed on. Cisse coming on for him (along with the Nasri injury delay) cost us momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Taking off Anita, just made us lose the slight control we had on the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Taking off Anita was an awful decision at the time. To me it looked like Pardew was just too afraid to take off Cabaye and Anita was the easy option. Cabaye looked like he was going to get sent off at the time and Anita had been playing well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Only seen the second half and he was absolutely tremendous, really has found his feet in this league now, just need to keep him in the team on a regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I've been impressed by his ability to stay on his feet and stick to players, but was uncharacteristically eager trying to tackle Silva leading up to the first goal. Apart from that had a very good game, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 he has one massive problem. once the game gets in behind him he's lost. his sprint back see's the oppo still pulling away fro m him with the ball at their feet. he's quick on the ball but very slow off it.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 it's been obvious since day one of the season he should be one of our starting midfielders, nothing has changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looked like Pardew was just too afraid to take off Cabaye and Anita was the easy option. Cabaye looked like he was going to get sent off at the time and Anita had been playing well he had but if your going to bet on someone who can create or score a chance out of nothing then its Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Taking off Anita, just made us lose the slight control we had on the game. Those were my thoughts from the stands... Thought Cisse was the wrong player to bring on for him also... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
