Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 There are games this season where he has been outstanding and attributed to us winning games in what I believe to be a major way. Hes probably the best that we have for that position unless Tiote can stay fit enough to build some kind of form, but in a perfect world he wouldn't be starting games for us, not by a long way. I do admire his 100% effort every game though, and its not just a myth either like Colbacks supposed efforts. All in all hes got a good game in him but overall not good enough if we were interested in progressing. But we aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Outstanding is too strong, he's had a couple good games. To be outstanding at CM you must dominate or show high class, instead he's competed well at best. His best games he's imposed himself on matches but I don't think he can physically do that consistently. Games he's been first to the ball more times than not. I don't think he's good enough off the ball for that to be why he's in the team (long term). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Are you suggesting Anita has stopped us getting thumped every week by even bigger margins? Find it all completely baffling about some people's views on Anita, like he is some midfield supremo. It's Pardew's fault, it's Carvers fault, it's McClaren fault, it's Colback's fault, it's Tiote's fault. The list is endless. Like I said earlier, the most horrific midfield performance was against Leicester, when he had to try and do that holding job all by himself when we had no one else to hold his hand in there. No one to blame his performance on then either. But, he played for Ajax and is tidy eh. Anyway, bored of talking about the little non entity now. I am just hoping the midfield is mixed up a little now or even better, we bring in someone competent and capable, but that will be wishful thinking. Pretty simple what I'm suggesting like. That as bad as we've been having a even worse player in his place (like Tiote is 90% of the time) would make us even worse (of course Colback is the worst of the lot but apparently he has to be one of the two starters ). Rest of your post has nowt to do with me as at no point have I ever claimed he's a really good midfielder let alone "supremo". He's just less shit than the rest.

I don't think Tiote is a worse player 90% of the time. Even on his off days he still covers a lot more ground quicker than Anita just because he has a longer stride. That allows Colback to play a bit further forward thus making him slightly less pointless. I don't think Anita's a bad player per se either, just not suited to the premier in our current formation.

Dave Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I didn't think Anita, Shelvey or Wijnaldum were particularly good in the middle tbh. Shelvey wanted the ball marginally more than Anita I guess but he played a mixture of very safe passes and long punts that either went straight out or proved impossible to control. And his lack of athleticism caught us out a few times. Wijnaldum continues to be a shadow of the player we saw earlier in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Last night was a perfect summing up of his time here. A totally anonymous performance where you wondered if he was actually on the pitch and on the odd time he did get on the ball he just played a simple 5 yard pass sideways or backwards. Looks like Benitez took less than an hour to see through this complete waste of a shirt so hopefully that's the last we'll see of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
