Monroe Transfer 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If we had to sell one of the big names (Ben Arfa, Ba, Krul etc), I'd have to say this guy would be the first one on my list. I appreciate his qualities but I'm fed up of his indiscipline and wayward passing. On the other hand, I'd worry about his replacement in the starting 11.

I know Tiote got so much praise last year it's nice to have a whine and go against the grain. But Perch has more bookings than Tiote and less passing ability, so what do you gain by selling our best holding midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Pardew just needs to get him back to sitting in front of the back four, winning the ball back and then releasing it early. That's what he's best at. Yet now it seems Pardew's got him trying to play this role as some sort of box-to-box destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If he were playing in front of a settled and confident back four, alongside a settled and confident midfield, behind a settled and confident strike force we'd see the Tiote we loved last season.

David Kelly 1117 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Aye, I would imagine he feels the need to do too much because he's not seeing it from anyone else. It's counter productive in the main but I can understand why he would feel that way. I was playing five a side the other week and one of the lads who was clearly the best player on our team was holding onto the ball and trying far too much. But as he said, I'm not trusting those other morons with the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He still plays lazy passes that get us into trouble far to often. The one Krul had to break a neck to stop a clear run on goal vs Southampton was a prime example. He needs to look up and play a sensible pass, the Hollywood passes I can almost forgive, It's the simple passes that are played too short/wide that are unforgivable. Not to sound all T27/James but I am starting to think his football's answer to Chuck Norris thing we have at the club is massaging his ego a little too much. When he arrived his pass completion was up there with the top in Europe but it must be pretty shocking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubiousBobcat 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I just want to see hm settle down down a bit. He is definitely fired up and pissed off. Maybe his big summer supposed move riled him. We know what he can do and he need to get him back to that. Last night, his passing and movement were absolute gash. Its not the normal Tiote and I hope Pardew can fix this within his game. So as in my changed opinion about Pardew, give the lad a chance to rediscover his form. We need Cabaye back next to him too.

Didnt he have like 98% pass completion or something similar in one of his first games for us. You look at how often he turns into trouble these days and he's definitely regressed somewhat Edited November 29, 2012 by TheRollingStones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Bigi will be a better player than Tiote in 2 years' time, by which time it won't matter when we flog Cheik to Chelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He's just getting worse and worse. He can't shoot, he can't dribble, he can't pass and his tackling has regressed. He's also a thug, not someone I'm proud to see in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why throw Naismith to the floor in the box, no matter how much he's pulling your shirt, how stupid do you have to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Another who looks like he's playing under the disappointment that he was going to a "bigger" club in the summer but it didn't eventuate for whatever reason. I'm hoping once Cabeye's best mate has joined the club he will feel better about the club and find the form of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a thug, not someone I'm proud to see in black and white. Coming round to that view myself tbh, there was a point last night before he got booked where he just took Naismith down for absolutely no reason, going nowhere, miles from danger and tiote just went in after the ball and have away a freekick for nothing.

Ken 119 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Not giving 100% anymore. Distracted by a move to a 'bigger' club or distracted by the fact some of the bigger names of the squad are on the injury list and feels he should do it all, so-to-speak.

Alex 30372 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think he's trying to do too much with the players missing and performances of the team etc. but he's also out of form and may well have had his head turned / not got the move he expected or hoped for. I still think he just needs to get back to sitting in front of the back four. Preferably in a midfield 3 with Cabaye and Anita providing the creativity / getting forward more.

Dr Gloom 19808 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 he's got enough good performances in the bank to be forgiven for his poor form of recent months, particulalry given the way the team as a whole has been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he just needs to get back to sitting in front of the back four. Preferably in a midfield 3 with Cabaye and Anita providing the creativity / getting forward more. Definitely think those factors you mention are having an effect. I also think the overall malaise at the club is taking it's toll on many of the players and he is amongst the hardest hit. Morale seems to be rock bottom at the moment. I'm hoping Debuchy signing will lift the French/French speaking contingent. It's been mentioned before, but signings don't just improve personnel, they definitely give the club a lift. Our reticence to spend has cost us in so many ways.

Andrew 4212 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Debuchy coming will be a massive lift for Cabaye, could well have that knock on effect, improves his form and takes some burden off tiote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
