Looks like a good article.

It seems you newcastle fans are perfect bait for WUMs though <laugh>

Tacklers Team Tackles Success rate
Lucas Leiva Liverpool 147 62%
Vaughan Blackpool 121 77%
Holden Bolton 117 69%
Parker West Ham 116 77%
Alcaraz Wigan 110 68%

I don't see Tiote anywhere in that list. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11096_2705370,00.html

For those calling him a holding midfielder...

Passers Team Passes Accuracy
Murphy Fulham 2050 80%
Essien Chelsea 1938 87%
Ferguson Birmingham 1855 81%
Adam Blackpool 1681 72%
Clichy Arsenal 1624 80%

He's nowhere to be seen there either.

All that shows is that Lucas has attempted more tackles and, as the stats show, failed in just under HALF of them, that is crap!

Also Tiote pass competion is around 80%, but due to suspension, he hasn't played enough games to even have the possibility to attempt enough passes to get on that list!

62% isn't "just under" half of them.

Tiote's pass accuracy is 80% then? SO he's about as good at Murphy at passing, just can't string together enough passes? <laugh> Being suspended is no excuse, he shouldn't have gotten suspended in the first place.

As you can see from my other post I have calculated the actual figures. What's your response to them? You can't argue facts!

Actually I can <laugh>

Those statistics are the successful passes and tackles made out of a certain number. As Tiote has obviously placed less passes and tackles than Lucas; those statistics are skewed in his favour as he hasn't had to play anywhere near the number of games Lucas has. If you were to find the stats for total number of passes and tackles Tiote has made and then multiply by the percentage decimal, you'd find Lucas to be superior.
 
Lucas all day long mate.

Brazilian first 11 :)

These Geordies are blinded by their own failure.

Exactly right. Next they'll be telling us Enrique is the best LB in the world and Barton is the best midfielder in Britain <laugh>
 
Lucas has failed in 56 of his tackles this season the next worst is 36. That's dreadful! If you were to ask the other 18 clubs who's better they'd say Tiote!

I notice how you've stopped using stats to compare Lucas and Tiote then, I suppose that route has failed for you? <laugh>

Tiote is just overhyped by you lot. Tiote would not be good enough for us, and we would consider it a failed summer if were to buy him. I suppose that just sums up Newcastle expectation though doesn't it.
 
Tiote stands out in a very poor Newcastle team.

Lucas stands out in a very promising Liverpool team.

Anyway, he wont be at Newcastle for much longer as all your good players leave for pastures much greener :)

The first part of my last post was a stat! Christ I knew you bin dippers were thick, but this is something else. Enjoy the rest of your evening!

"compare Lucas and Tiote," back to your hole troll.
