High Five o Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Cabaye, Tiote and HBA in the same team man. That's just fantastic. Indeed, Add Marv to that also, Think he will be mint. Ba also, if he get it going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a triangle if we can keep them all on the pitch Hard to actually believe we are in possession of all three. Could be the best we've had since Dyer and Speed ran things down the middle.

eliassenfredrik Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 He was flying in the footage on NUFCTV Aye, looks in great shape already. Also reckon Marveaux is in top shape soon. Our front 5 will be nothing short of exciting and classy as fuck. Depends on who's playing upfront though. Can only assume the worst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Tiote-Cabaye-Ben Arfa will be the best midfield outside of the Top 6 and, to be honest, I'd fancy it against Arsenal's and maybe Liverpool's. I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randy Savage Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Tiote-Cabaye-Ben Arfa will be the best midfield outside of the Top 6 and, to be honest, I'd fancy it against Arsenal's and maybe Liverpool's. I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it. Tiote did very well last season but how much have you genuinely seen of Ben Arfa and Cabaye? It's very early to make a call on either. As an example, Lorik Cana started brilliantly for us in 2009/10, but halfway through the season he looked suddenly very ordinary and Bruce couldn't wait to get his money back at the end of the season. It strikes me Ben Arfa gets better with every game he doesn't play, based on a good performance and a cracker of a goal vs Everton who were, to be fair, woeful that day by all accounts. I would agree that your midfield is certainly your strong point mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that your midfield is certainly your strong point mind. Everton were poor that day bar the last 20 or so but it was a fair occasion where we made them look bad. For me, Tiote's debut that day was one of the best I've seen, even better than Ben Arfa IMO. Midfield is potentially very good, however as with most midfields it will rarely line up at full strength and unfortunately our back ups aren't on the same level.

Ketsbaia Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well you're right there, in that its just a theory right now. But I'd say its safe to assume Tiote and Cabaye will be fantastic players here and if Ben Arfa shows anywhere near the talent he displayed in France (and in the 3 games at NUFC), then we have a superstar. Until they're together its all speculation, but I'm pretty confident they'll delight us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 He'll be a huge asset. Watching the full Everton 90 minutes last week, he'll come to claim and collect the ball all over. Playing in that hole should suit him perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
