I agree to an extent about Cabaye, but I still believe he's playing in the wrong position.
One sits in front of the back four, Cabaye and Sissoko in the middle, Sissoko getting forward, Cabaye floating around passing it about.
Never tried once by s*** for brains, but so obvious and just where Cabaye played for Lille.
Its surprising some of the stuff Pardew has not even tried.
Not once was the HBA - Cisse - Ba front 3 with Ba on the left tried.
