how did tiote do?

He was pretty poor tbh, he looked slightly out of shape to me and was so slow on the ball which led to him being caught a few times. 

 

Thought we played well and comfortably controlled the game, Shelvey completely changes the side mind as we were able to play 3 youngsters in their debuts and comfortably beat what was largely the starters of a Championship side (it was also almost the exact same 11 we drew with), 3 assists and he looked really up for it.

 

The three young lads all did canny I thought, Barlaser and El-Mhanni were both positive and looked to move the attack forward, similarly Findlay was more positive with his passing and bringing the ball forward than Hanley (although Hanley did a good job overall). Barlaser had a good surging run at one point and probably took the wrong choice when he chose to try and take it into the area himself rather than pass to Gouffran who was open but it's great to see that sort of confidence and positivity, El-Mhanni also put in a canny cross at 1-0 up and Gouffran had a decent chance at it but put it wide. Thought that was Gouffran's best performance in a while and he took his goal well.

thanks for the update. i was holding out hope that tiote might take over from colback. tiote, when he was good, offered way more than the ginger ninja, but looks like his best days are behind him if he can't get a game ahead of that useless cunt. 

 

shelvey back is massive. we are a totally different team when he's pulling the strings. good to hear the kids did well too

The cynic in me reckons he had a funny turn and collapsed and had woke up to find a bunch of strangers bouncing up and down on his chest. In my experience you don't have a cardiac arrest and then spontaneously take a big gasp and wake up again :lol:

 

Cath might correct me

I've not seen it again but it seemed to me that there wasn't a pass on to Gouffran when Barlaser made that run.  Certainly not an easy one.  I thought he was looking for him.

I just found out he's related to me (albeit not closely) so I fully retract my bit about him making a bad decision, he was class.
