Yep. Quite obvious Nasri is the playmaker, seems to always be on the ball. Cabaye was sitting much deeper though, covering the open space.
Also thought Diarra was really good. What a tremendous ball retainer and tackler.
On the other hand, people who sit on their high horses deeming very good proven PL players aren't good enough for us. In other words, the lack of humbleness (if that's a word). Perspective.
Anyway Kalou would get ahead of Ba in a 4-3-3 based on the last couple of months. And I can see Marveaux pushing Jonas out of the side in the 3rd CM position.
Hardly worth comparing, that doesn't mean to say Kalou is by any means the right alternative.
As a winger he's comparable. And as of now I think Kalou would be a starter in our team as I don't rate Jonas as a winger. Marveaux vs Kalou is another debate.
