Yohan Cabaye (now sporting coordinator at Paris Saint-Germain)


Recommended Posts

Anyone read this bit

 

"Yohan gives you a composure on the ball," said Newcastle's manager. "He takes a second longer on the ball and because of that he just makes the right decisions. As an example of what pressure can do to you I saw that BBC news reader pick up that wad of A4 paper instead of his iPad. There's no way you can do that unless pressure's involved and stress is kicking in – you just don't make that mistake.

 

"That's what you have to understand with footballers. You play in front of 52,000 here and the expectations you're playing under huge expectations. Some people ride the pressure better. Would David Frost have picked that pad of paper up by mistake? Or would he have picked his iPad up? The point I'm trying to make is that Yohan is that type of player who, whatever the scenario, can be calm and deliver the pass."

It will be funny tomorrow when people come into this thread and accuse others of trying to pick fault and be pessimistic when the club's on something of a high on the pitch.  That's obviously not what people are doing but it'll be said.  Or maybe not now that I've posted this.

He was probably asked about it. So many drama queens in here desperate to find fault.

 

"Alan, would you say that the Yohan situation is similar to the recent BBC iPad controversy? What would David Frost do?"

 

:lol:

 

Pards is weird, man :lol: part of me is starting to find it funny on the back of a couple wins.

Whatever you think of the bloke there's no denying he loves the sound of his own voice.
