Tiote Claims His Place In The Side Is 'Not A Given'

16 November 2011 13:27
Cheick Tiote admits he faces a fight to get his Newcastle first-team place back for this weekend's clash with Manchester City.

Cheick Tiote: "It's been very frustrating for me to have missed the last two games, especially as we have started the season so well.

"Danny (Guthrie) came in and did a very good job too.

"He fitted into the team so well. It shows how good our squad is and also that even if I am fit, the manager has options to change the team.

"It is good that we all have to fight for our positions in the team.

"Dan Gosling did well too when he came on, and he is pushing for a starting place."
