The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Love the powerful runs. His passing is very hit and miss however. Sometimes gives it away so needlessly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 When Gouff and Remy are also in the side we look a really strong and quick side to boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Absolute powerhouse. Chris Foy is a f***ing gimp. So good to see him winning possession and driving us forward. Have to agree with you for once Inochi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 He did look loads better with Gouff and Remy on pitch, created loads of space for him to run into. I thought he played well all game tbh, we were awful as a team until the subs though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 His passing can be very average at times BUT that power is phenomenal The way he brushes players off with ease and powers through. Looked even better when Remy and Gouffran were on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Good to see his explosive power seems to be back again. It was always there, but he's a very technical player, you won't get the best of him by playing him on the wing and humping the ball in the air.

The College Dropout Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I disagree with "he's a very technical player". He's capable of a great hollywood ball but likewise he'll give the ball away 5-6 times a match, very sloppily. He's at his best as a flat-track bully and I have no problems with that. If we can score earlier in matches and with Siss at CM,. we'll kill teams on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can score earlier in matches and with Siss at CM,. we'll kill teams on the counter. Yeah, I agree. His passing is erratic, and because he sees a lot of the ball, there are quite a number of mistakes for anyone to pick on. But his appetite for hard work, his strength and his ability to open situations up will make up for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your not a fan of him or Anita but for me those two have been our success story so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Missed the second half yesterday but caught the extended highlights on sky, thought he looked strong and forceful, given a few more games I can see him being our driving force. If tiote gets his arse into gear a centre paring of Sissoko and Tiote could work well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't hate Tiote anywhere near as many on here, but there's no reason whatsoever that he should be in the team at present. The only way he'll get back in barring injuries or suspension is the manager's oft-displayed cowardice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Tiote might be useful against some of the more powerful or physical teams. Fulham never really tested us on that aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Tiote might be useful against some of the more powerful or physical teams. Fulham never really tested us on that aspect. They still waltzed through the middle a couple of times first half a little easy for my liking, nothing to do with physicality mind - just no-one challenging them at all.

I know your not a fan of him or Anita but for me those two have been our success story so far this season. I love a midfielder who passes the ball forward. But sometimes you need to play it safe. He also gives away a number of pretty easy passes too. It's not just ambitious pass selection, his passing in general isn't great. I don't dislike Siss. I just think his passing, technique and defensive awareness is poor at times. I'm a fan when he gets it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 He's a far better player when the game is stretched. This. This. This. If we could score an early goal in a game. Siss will single handily destroy teams on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Lots of powerful running yesterday. Still want to see him and Anita behind Cabaye in a midfield three. Superb energy and good movement to go with Anita and Cabaye's vision. We'd be very good if the three of them clicked and hade Rémy/Cissé/Ben Arfa in front of them.

Jordan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Loved towards the end of the game when he knocked the ball past their defender and just powered around him. He's incredibly quick for a lad of his size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
