Ketsbaia Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 4-3-3 and we see Cabaye play well. It's that simple, Pards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Thought he played well today tbh. Delivery was better, competed well in the midfield when we went 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Another dreadful performance. Horrible this season. Totally agree. Missing in Action this season. Said it in the match thread too. Miles off the pace this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 He was alright today. Always better when we play three men in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Dreadful performance my arse. He wasn't Rick Flair but along with Jonas he was pretty much the only reason we had as much possession as we did. Not that that's anywhere near enough to expect but dreadful in a game like today is just wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Another reason why we need to play 3 in the centre(ish).... 442 makes his lack of athleticism and mobility an even bigger weakness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 He'll look much better once Pardew stumbles onto a formation that suits our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Dreadful ffs. He was dreadful when we had 2 in the middle but i don't give a shit who you are if you going against 4 in the middle with just 2 players your going to struggle. We could have had Prime Makelele and Xavi today and we still would have struggled, he improved when we moved to 3 in midfield because we could compete better.

garth Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I thought he had a decent game really. One of our better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I thought he was better but that's not exactly high praise. Still waiting for him to really grab a game by the neck. He's capable of doing it but only rarely produces it. Oh and please please please stop taking corners. That one in the last minute that went out of play should be the last one he takes.

Sad state of things is that we don't really have anyone better! Best option is just to get Cabaye to go short to Ben Arfa as we did vs. Spurs.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bit hard to grab a game by the neck when in every game he is outnumbered in midfield due to poor tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sensationalist OTT bollocks. He has a point, though. Cabaye's done nothing really so far this season and his set pieces are very poor 100% of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bit hard to grab a game by the neck when in every game he is outnumbered in midfield due to poor tactics. Standard "blame the tactics to excuse poor performance". If you've got the talent you'll shine whether its 442 or 433 or whatever else. Rooney is a striker yet he played out of position today and bossed it. He did it because he's an excellent footballer. I'm fed up of folk excusing lame individual performances on the system.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah because it's so easy to boss 4 players at once He struggled because it was him and Tiote against 4 players, Rooney excelled because he had 3 players around him at all times. No coincidence he improved once we put Jonas alongside him and Tiote in the middle. Gotta love a knee jerk on a sunday afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
