Newcastle 2014-15 Season Review - Player Ratings

24. Cheick Tiote - 3

Appearances (All Competitions): 11 (1) Minutes Played (Premier League): 898 Assists (All Competitions): 2 Goals (All Competitions): 0 Yellow Cards (Premier League): 5 Red Cards (Premier League): 0
Tiote has appeared just once for Newcastle in 2015 - and that was on New Year's Day - and it looks like his time on Tyneside may be coming to an end. The defensive-midfielder was not at his best this season even before his constant injury problems that have blighted him ever since he arrived from Twente returned once more, but he still managed to rack up five yellow cards from 11 Premier League appearances. Reportedly the 28-year-old is looking for pastures new - and that should suit both parties, because he simply isn't the same player who dominated midfield alongside Yohan Cabaye during the 2011-12 season.
