NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Tiote's ability to put pressure on opposing teams is probably his best attribute, he will hound and bully the fuck out of an opposing midfield, but only when he can be arsed unfortunately, hes either injured or cant be arsed, unless McClaren can properly motivate him I would rather he leaves, would still pick him every day of the week over Colback though, the scrawny ginger such and such.

In the last game of the season Vurn played a quality high pressing and intercepting game with far more quality and intelligence than you'll get out of Tiote. Really hope McLaren see's this.

Tiote is finished unless proves otherwise. The amount of goals as a result of his inability to keep possession or mis time a tackle and force a free kick that has led to a goal is staggering

Anyone remember how Samuel Eto'o shrugged him off the ball like he wasn't even there? Eto'o is 34 while Colback is ten years younger, it was embarrassing to see. :lol:

It's hardly staggering like.

Naw it's staggering. Not staggering is Dropout's love-in for him.

If Tiote would sort his life out (he may be rejuvenated having played under SmC before, who knows?) I think him and Anita would be a good 2 deep lying midfielders to have if we wanted to play a similar style of short-passing, quick moving possesion football that Swansea do.

 

Tiote receiving the ball from defenders has cost us enough goals over the years, thanks. Not to mention the fact it usually means his partner has to sit deeper than he really should in order to negate Cheick's weaknesses.

 

Aye and Tiote on his game playing as nothing more than a juggernaut to break up play and sit back has also saved us from conceding many goals over a period of time too. Aye he's been shite lately, but when Pardew was using him as a fucking deep-lying playmaker I don't know what you'd expect.

 

3 years of utterly shit performances isn't 'lately'.

 

I expect decent performances from a well paid player. As in doing the basics well, not getting booked every game, protecting the defence, occasionally scoring the odd goal etc.

 

You might want to consider the fact we've conceded more goals in that period than (I'd guess) any other PL club when talking about his ability to save us from 'conceding many goals' too.

Tiote's "wayward passing" is a bit of a myth. His pass completion rates are very high. His problem is he takes too long on the ball and only passes sideways. He tries to do too much on and off the ball.

 

He usually has the ball more than anyone else in the midfield. Which is why he has a higher success rate on passes. Most of them are as you say short sideway passes. But when he tries something slightly more difficult it is nine times out of ten a wayward pass. He still mess up the simple ones quite often too.

 

Still his pass success rates are around the 90%'s. It's because he's making twice the amount of passes as whoever he's next to that it might stick it. But % wise he looses the ball less than most of our other cm's.

 

I do think oppo. are very tactical in their approach with him. Closing him down rapidly early doors when he's fannying about with it he might loose it and they can break. When in the lead or happy with the game, just let him have it. He'll not do anything useful with it. Although he has a decent cross on him.

Twice as many passes backward or to the side. Or to a man 2 feet from him. You watch us play? Because if you did you see mistake after mistake after mistake after foul after card after etc. repeat.

IMO football philosophy wise - NUFC is a swashbuckling, high-octane club. I don't think a possession based approach suits us or the crowd. Our best teams, dominated at times but where always quick, powerful and attacking but never possession for the sake of it. Similar to Man Utd in that respect. It would take patience (which we don't have) or a top, top manager like LVG to change that.

 

Man U did play a possession game, only it was very fast paced with lots of forward movement. A million miles from the deep sitting long ball game we've adopted under Pardew.

 

Forget Pardew man. I'm talking Sir Bob & Keegan.

 

Man Utd never "played a possession game". Never was keeping the ball for keeping the ball's sake a strategic maneuver. That's what they've got now under LVG. That was never the case under SAF. They attacked and pressed.

Playing Brendan era "we won the possession" and finishing  11th and bowing out early of the cups isn't going to satisfy anyone. Or what Martinez did last season.

 

Alright, for the sake of not getting lost in the pedantics, forget about the term possession, we'll call it passing football instead. Man U played passing football on the deck with lots of pace and forward movement. If that's what you're advocating then I'm all for it. Man U most definitely didn't ask their keeper to boot it long towards the centre forward who was deployed on the wing which has been our modus operandi for the past 5 years.

 

It's not pedantic at all. "Possession football" is Pep, Brendan & Martinez approach. That's a world away from the Klopp, Heynckes & SAF brand of football. It's all passing football but still very different.

 

Again - nobody mentioned playing super direct football. I'm saying NUFC DNA is fast paced, passing football. Not the slow possession stuff.

Tiote is passable (excuse the pun) alongside someone good who can do all his ball work for him, if not he's a waste of time therefore currently he's a waste of time.

 

Regardless of what strengths he does have, he's tactically inept and for this reason I'd not be arsed if he was binned (post someone else being brought in, of course)

Then stop f***ing spouting off stats that don't mean s***

But he doesn't lose the ball that often. Abeid under Carver was much worse for that. People here just spout any crap. I provide logic.

 

If you think Tiote doesn't lose the ball often, your logic is as sound as your opinion of Cabella's towering height.

Tiote - 81.7

Anita - 81.1

 

 

He might lose the ball more times a match due to having the ball more. But he doesn't lose it more often.
