After Newcastle United’s goalless draw with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221, the Newcastle United manager has come out and praised
Cheick Tiote and other Magpies’ stars at the club as the new Premier League season approaches...
Alan Pardew has come out and admitted that Cheick Tiote is in a much better position at Newcastle United than he was last summer in terms of his fitness levels. Newcastle United did extraordinarily well in the Premier
League last season as they finished fifth in the league table.
The Magpies were considered as relegation contenders at the start of the previous league season but they surprised everyone under Pardew’s management as they challenge consistently for a UEFA Champions League qualification place.
The Tyneside giants were within a chance of gaining their desired European football qualification spot until the last two weeks if the season when they lost out to Manchester City in a crucial home tie at the Saint James’ park
stadium.
Nonetheless, Pardew and co. are now looking to compete in the Europa League for the coming season and the Englishman is determined to keep his star players in their best shape. One of such players is Tiote who has been a revelation
in the Premier League ever since his arrival at Newcastle United but in the previous season he had some issues with his fitness levels which have now been resolved according to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew.
Pardew said, "Cheick looks 10 times better than he did last year, and I absolutely mean that. He didn’t come back well last summer, if I'm honest. However, he has summered well this time and is in great physical shape. It's going
to be a big season for Cheick.”
He added, "All my, what I would call big players, are important if we are to progress as a team, and Cheick certainly falls into that category. He is in a good place.” Pardew also praised Tim Krul for his goalkeeping and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152
Coloccini for being impressive in the same match as Newcastle’s centre back.
Newcastle will hope that they can at least match their top five finish that they achieved last season but such a feat will be difficult as they will have to compete against a rejuvenated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 outfit along with Brendan Rodgers’
