Mole_Toonfan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 We didn't do enough in central midfield to close them down, and that is still our problem, we aren't winning the midfield battle. There you go, there's you post for next week's game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Even before Tiote was sent off we didn't do enough in central midfield to close them down, and that is still our problem, we aren't winning the midfield battle. Agree; pretty poor considering they've got Larsson and Colback in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote's changed what was looking like an easy victory into a nail biter. He'll never learn to control his temper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pav Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 We seem pretty comfortable, but the way the match has been I can't help but see them get a snide goal from a dodgy free kick. If we hold onto this like we did last season I'll be very impressed, as long as we don't gift them 2 goals I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If ref had blown for Colebeck trying to fucking undress Tiote when he should have Tiote wouldn't have been off. Still think it was harsh like. He did blow, but far too late. Tiote doesn't even see Fletcher coming there, he's fully focused on getting the ball. He is late, but there's absolutely nothing in that challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote does that kind of petulant follow-through quite a lot. Most of the time, he gets away with it. Today he doesn't, and I hope he learns a lesson. We've done all right with 10 men, which is a reflection of the opposition. With luck, we may just get away with something. Cabaye needs to keep his head too. In general, when we get a turnover, we don't use the ball positively enough. We end up with two of three sideways or backward passes with the aim of making sure we don't lose the ball, we're then under pressure and end up hitting it long.

Jayson Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 thank you ref, you piece of ......, no card for foul on jonas, red for tiote, hahaha, you idiot, you mustbe drunk Tiote's was a definate red What did he do? Tried to tackle while being heldback, ball was cleared and it was a late challenge. We got the freekick for Tiote being held back, Tiote was sent off. Minutes after Shola took a high foot in the chest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote's changed what was looking like an easy victory into a nail biter. He'll never learn to control his temper. He was his own worse enemy in that incident. Most other players - say Cabaye for example - would have just stopped after the initial foul and expected the ref to blow. Tiote doesn't really do that.

Flip Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote's changed what was looking like an easy victory into a nail biter. He'll never learn to control his temper. These posts still shock me. How that is even a red, look beyond where he hits the guy. Fletcher comes from an angle and Tiote never sees him until he has already raised his foot to go after the ball.

afar Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Very even. They're probably unlucky to be behind, they've played the better stuff in general play. We're awfully negative since the switch, and though they haven't looked much like scoring I'm worried that inviting them on all the time will eventually prove a bad idea. It's not like we've got much pace on the counter either, Ben Arfa aside. What ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote's changed what was looking like an easy victory into a nail biter. He'll never learn to control his temper. He was shrugging off the chasing Colback (I think it was) then competed for a fifty-fifty immediately after the whistle went for the Colback offence - but it wasn't a red man. No way. Wasn't from behind, both feet didn't leave the ground, didn't lunge aggressively... his main offence was having the reputation of Cheick Tiote.

Theregulars Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tiote's changed what was looking like an easy victory into a nail biter. He'll never learn to control his temper. The tackle was in no way indicative of a 'temper'. He went for a bouncing ball and mistimed it, and got Fletcher on the shinpad, who then rolled around like he was being tasered.

Lenny Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 If Le Tissier had said that he could understand the ref giving him a red then I don't think I'd be quite so fucking furious but he's making out like it was a vicious assault. Tiote stuck his leg out and got the player, there wasn't any indication of him trying to hurt the player. Also boils my piss that the ref gave a red card instantly without actually being in any position to see the challenge, pretty sure all he could see was Tiote's back and a player go down. Definite yellow card, harsh red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I didn't think that was a sending off, yellow would have been fair enough. Decent performance although a little too negative since we scored, they look so toothless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Actually thought the worst bit of reffing was the advantage given to Johnson. He gave him the advantage already, Johnson got the cross in. Just because Johnson fucked the cross up you dont then give him another advantage. Complete joke of a ref Atkinson like.

Parky Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Atkinson's getting overwhelmed here. Think Tiote was irritated at being held and just a little too high imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
