I guess if the Cabaye one was unexpected, rather than a planned withdrawal, then the Marveaux one is a bit unlucky. If Cabaye had lasted we might not be having this discussion.
If the Cabaye sub was just because he's generally not up to speed, then the Marv one is crazy.
I thought he felt his groin and asked to come off?
Yeah, some reports suggest he did. In which case I suppose Pardew was unlucky to have already subbed Marveaux.
How is it unlucky?
Cabaye has been out injured about 3 months. Did hid first apparence last week for about 20 min. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that he most likley wont last for 90 min.
It's not unlucky it just plain stupidity to take Marveaux off.
