How many times Tiote will do his 360 around Lucas tomorrow? My guess is equal to degrees turned. HTL!
Difference between him and Parker is that Tiote can actually do it without passing back to the goalkeeper Everyone used to love Parker but I always thought he was over rated, still do.
Nah I love Parker, was my favourite player at the time he played for us. I wouldn't say he's overrated but there's an element to his game that could be improved ie; attacking vision but surely in a better team he'd blossom with more support. Tiote isn't the finished article so I think he's a little overrated in the sense that people don't often take into account the amount of bookings he gets and games missed through suspensions. I expect him to be wiser to the Prem next season and if he cuts down on needless yellow cards he'll grow into a world class player.
Personally I hope he can cut down on the bookings next season purely so he doesn't start getting a reputation for yellow cards! We all know a rep like that can distort referee's views on tackles/incidents (NB, I'm talking about all clubs here, not just NUFC players!!) so it would be good to nip that in the bud early on. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the speed of the English game though so he'll probably be a lot wiser and experienced next season
