I think the team overall seemed a little too laidback today. Even the commentators mentioned the lack of intensity and urgency that was present in our last 2 home games. Oh well, maybe simply the thought of participating in next year's Europa League tired them out? Cheeky anti-Pards comments aside, if our players looked laidback, the WBA players, barring the opening 10 mins of the second half, looked like they were lying in tanning beds, fulfilling the middle letter of GTL to the fullest.

He wasn't great against WBA tbh, too much dicking about and attempting to pass it over ten yards.

 

Some of his passing was really good though. he's playing the ball much quicker and simpler for the most part, I would think his possession stats yesterday were probably the best out of our 11 out there.

Aye, but given his return to form and the fact that those things that ruined his game for over a year have started to show again, small cause for concern imo. He needs to be told (and reminded constantly) what to do by the coaching team and the other players.

Looking like the player of old now.

 

Funnily enough, since he's started keeping it simple, he's actually putting through some pretty clever passes to players ahead of him as well. I agreed with the official verdict that he was MOM.

He was brilliant today, the number of times he anticipated a loose ball or stray pass from the opposition showed just how intelligent his reading of the game can be. He broke up so much of their play and kick-started a lot of ours he was the key component for us in that engine room. That's all he has to do, none of the fancy passes or shooting. Although he did have a few of those mad moments. It is no coincidence that we are playing better and Cabaye is thriving with Tiote back on form in midfield. He is easily one of the best in his role in the league.
