Lush Vlad Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 He's a feeder, feeding it to others quickly with the correct weight. Some of the combination play between him & Tiote was good. The biggest thing I got from yesterday is that he doesn't hide unlike Cabaye. Tiote-Anita-Marv next match please. Anita & Tiote need another out ball. They pass it to Jonas and he passes it straight back. The strikers are too far away so there's only HBA, Simo & Santon. Agree with it all bar the Cabaye bit? Unless I'm reading it wrong, I really don't think he hides? Even when he's playing badly he puts a shift in, gets stuck in and covers a lot of ground. Anita seemed like he was hiding earlier in the season, but it was probably just the game passing him by due to him not being up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Taking Anita off was just as deranged as withdrawing HBA, moreso really. That's the moment for me. Anita off but Jonas is still on? Who had been terrible for 85 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cabaye gets stuck in but often it would look like Tiote is the one trying to grab the game by the neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 He worked his arse off last night and was constantly an outlet in the 2nd half. It's just he had no real attacking options to play to. Looks a quality player if we actually surround him with movement and intelligence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 For someone who's supposed to play quite deep he doesn't get very deep does he. I think he hides a bit off the ball, even when we had three in the middle at the start last night Sidwell was bombing on and rarely picked up. Think he's part of the reason we get picked off on the break too easily. Alright on the ball but i'm far from convinced about him. Maybe Pardew telling him to stay forward but if can see it's not working surely you drop in. Loss of Cabaye been massive. Interesting that, I didn't notice it at all. I think he'll work better as part of a deeper two with Cabaye as the most advanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he's being played the opposite way, the furthest forward midfielder who often pressures defenders in play, which is what he did last night.
