I'm starting to hate this ****. He is nothing more that a financial leech now. A passenger. For months he has been AWOL by his own choosing. I fully support Rafa not playing him if he is heartless but we need rid pronto.
He would be playing if his legs hadn't gone, but they have. He seems to have an ongoing injury/illness?
Just going off the very short appearances he's had over the last year and how bandy his legs look and how slow he is moving around the pitch, not to mention a failed medical in China in the summer. He's been on the bench at times I think over the last few weeks so must be available, but the old Tiote would be in the team and kicking ass if he didn't have a problem and was available to play. It may be him not giving 100% and Rafa leaving him out but there just seems to be something else going on when you piece together the scraps of evidence.
