There's no way he should start on Sunday. He's totally off the pace, and has made too many ****ty challenges today.
 
Been impressed by Tavernier, looks solid and decent going forward.
 
Tiote looked a total liability for us when he came on on Sunday. We seemed to lose our foothold in midfield when we moved Perch from CM to RB
 
I thought Tiote was a beast in the first half with some really composed passing. Faded in the second and backed off for the second goal, shame.
 
I thought he had a mad moment against Norwich, all that dribbling in our own box, imagine if he'd got caught out in the dying moments:emoticon-0107-sweat

I couldn't be a more extreme polar opposite if I was Mugabe and you were which ever young Lib Dem intern tosses off Nick Clegg (in reach-around).

Tonight Tiote was very composed in possession, and I'd say robust in the tackle but first half he was more letting people bounce off him than needing to tackle them! Second half he was alright, but as the game became more open he was doing those "professional fouls" more and more. It was astute fouling more than laziness, especially the yellow he picked up, because they would have marauded down the left without it. A touch short of match fitness yes, but that was far from "totally off the pace"... I guess someone has finally found the old drink tonight! :p

Bigi was fecking wonderful when he came on. Best prospect I have ever seen hands down, and one of the better first teamers to be honest! Class young lad.

Agree with all of this, thought we was a solid 7/8 out of 10 first half. Given the amount he puts in to every game he plays he was always going to tire. He should start on Saturday, he's a huge player for us and definitely looks to be picking up his game, especially in the first half.
 
I agree with the rest. Tiote wasn't horrible today. He played good actually, won a few balls as we expected him to. We may have the luxury not to start him though, as long as we don't drop pts.
