Tiago Mendes (52 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

But I have good reason to hate players such as Molinaro. He gets a free ride at this club, always starts even when not deserving to start, and has never impressed here or wherever the hell he's been. Tiago spends most of his time on the bench and has a proven track record at Chelsea and Lyon.

So no, I'm not in the wrong here, Alen.

He was dreadful against Chelsea?

Roma, Bologna and now Chievo, all 3 games, our worst midfielder. Cant say worst player, because this Chievo, that honour goes to all of the defenders. I mean, are so you used to him being shit you dont even notice it? He sucked BALLS against Roma and Bologna, how is that in any way excusable? Apologetic nonsense.

There is a difference from performing ok or useful (which I have acknowledged enough, even it was 3 months ago last time), to being completely useless as he has been in the last 3 league games. Such a frustrating player, because its not like he lacks the ability to be decent enough (more like the attitude and heart, he struts around like an arrogant dainty little ballerina, he LET Chievo's shit players just breeze him by, while Marchisio was fighting inch and nails for every centimeter, I mean, what gives???).

That's your opinion, he wasn't completely useless today, he was actually "decent"...

 

[Bjerknes]

He didn't suck balls against Roma. That's just horse cock and you know it, Osman.

This is what I'm talking about right here - predetermined nonsense.

Tiago spends most of his time on the bench

I think you're wrong about this. At least as far as this season goes. Apart from the first 6-7 rounds, Tiago was playing, and he played as a starter, whenever he wasn't injured.
He got a more serious injury against Inter and he was out for 2-3 months, but whenever he was fit, he was starting the matches.

If all players were healthy, Tiago wouldn't be starting.

and rightfully so the guy is a joke, i dont care how talented he is

 

[Alen]

Poulsen was healthy today and so was Nedved. But Tiago still started the match in central midfield, even though we had other options.

If I there wasnt any oxygen, I wouldnt be breathing.

what annoys me the most is that tiago looks like he don't even care. maybe molinaro has not the ability to play for us still he runs for every ball and gives his all(ok thats not much but still he tries/even though he should never play for us )
but tiago is a player that really annoys me now. he has the technical abitlity to play for a big club but he has no heart. he plays like a little girl without passion..... and passion and heart is what juve makes so special

I wouldn't accuse Tiago of not trying, he just has a casual playing style.

However, he hasn't contributed to the team for quite a while and, while he may not have been as bad as some of you are making out, he certainly isn't justifying how big a wage he is on.

And, Andy, you determination to avoid criticising Tiago is just as bad as other people's determination to criticise him.

i don't know everytime he lose the ball he has the " i don't even care face". and he looks like he is never really running after the ball

The guy's got a good shot and never uses it. I see some occasions he can use it but he makes a lateral or backpass. Take a freakin' chance man! Accelerate, little fake to the right and let it go!

i think he lost his balls in lyon... he never brought them over..

Tiago's first start in Serie A this season came against Bologna, 2-1 win on 10/29/08.

Second start came the following weekend against Roma where we won 2-0.

Third start came the following week, 2-0 win against Chievo.

Fourth start the following weekend against Genoa, 4-1 win for us.

Then Tiago was injured against Inter after only playing three minutes. That's where we incurred our third loss of the season.

Tiago's next start/appearance came on 2/8/09 against Catania where we won 2-1.

Following week he started and we drew Samp 1-1 at home.

Then we won 2-0 with Tiago against Palermo away only to bench the player for the next two matches until the Bologna and Roma matches where we destroyed both of them 4-1.

Then of course we come to the match today.

Sorry folks, but the player in central midfield who has the best record out of all possible players with a sufficiently large number of appearances is... you guessed it... Tiago.

8 wins and 2 draws. I'm not going to count the Inter match as he didn't even touch the ball.

Our best results and largest number of goals scored came when Tiago started at central midfield, regardless of his partner. This is what the statistics tell us and you can believe them or disregard them if you want, but one thing is for sure - to label Tiago as one of the main culprits for our lack of trophies this season is completely inane.

Yeah, and he had such big balls in Lyon, because it was so hard to be bold and take chances when after 15 rounds your team had multi zdrillion points advantage and already won the league.

 

[Alen]

Andy, did you just count the Bologna match that we won 4:1?
And also the Catania match?

 

[mondo1]

@ andy

still 10 other players were on the pitch... we all say gio is one hell of a player still we draw and lose when he is on the pitch... even messi gets raped in bolivia
tiago could play 1000 games and we win 900 of them still that doesn't make him look good.

@ alen ok maybe he never had balls the fact is he plays like a little girl

I've criticized Tiago. Hell, I even say sell him.

Too many people have predetermined hate the player and it shows on this forum.

ps. i was a tiago supporter and i said he should play more and that ranieri should give him a chance / i even said this last season
but the fact is he hasn't performed for a while now
