Ketsbaia Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Whether he's playing to get a move or playing for the World Cup, he's in the best form he's ever had here. Great timing too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 We so need France to win their play-off to keep our French players motivated for the whole season. That's what I thought the other day. If France miss out on the World Cup, then what do our players have to work towards this season? A move away? Meh, best not to think about it for now I think. On another note, Cabaye was immense today - he didn't stop running and never gave up the cause. He and Tiote controlled the midfield rather effectively (for the first 40 minutes anyway) and what a goal, although we all know he is very capable of goals like those Long may this form continue.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 He's very good when he can play his own game, which is about getting on the ball, spraying it about, driving forward, and getting shots off. It helps his game and indeed ours when he's playing much further forward which he seems to be doing this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It sounds odd but its always obvious when Cabaye is up for a game and has a bit of fire in his belly, its in his running, he actually looks like he has a bit of pace about him when hes up for it. Hes the most visibly obvious player I've seen when he cant be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very well hit but the keeper has to do much better. It really moved like a fecker tbf to Josef Mengele, like a balloon in hurricane. This. The replay from behind Cabaye clearly shows the ball starts off moving towards then swerving away from the keeper. He'd obviously misjudged the flight of the ball and his reaction was too late, but that says more about the technique in the shot than the keeper's judgement. On that note, I love seeing our players attempt to hit outrageous shots as Cabaye did today. Granted he's mishit the other two he tried, but it shows that he's full of confidence and self-belief.

It was very well hit but the keeper has to do much better. Totally disagree with this - in general, a strike from 30 yards does pose questions about a keeper's competence but if you saw the shot from behind Cabaye, as on the TV replay, you can see that the bend of the ball and the placement of it gave Mignolet NO chance of stopping it - he dived in good time, but it was just too far to his right for him to reach. One of the best long-range goals I've seen, in the class of Arie Haan of Holland who hit 2 amazing strikes in the 78 WC in Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replay from behind the goal shows Cabaye glancing up to look at the exact spot he's put it in as well just before pulling the trigger. Got texts from a couple of scousers saying it was a fluke. Told them to get fucked. It really was a sensational strike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ask them to revise their own definition of a fluke. Picked his spot and nailed it. If it bounced off a Liverpool players arse and changed direction totally, then you can call fluke. The contact from Cabaye on the ball was way too true to be calling fluke.

It helps his game and indeed ours when he's playing much further forward which he seems to be doing this season. For too many games he's ended up playing too deep. With Tiote firing again it will help Cabs move up the park with confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If you aim somewhere and shoot - and it just so happens to go in that exact direction it's pretty much the opposite of a fluke. Watch Cabaye when he hits a ball - he knows how to get it to swerve. It was a world class goal and the 'keeper couldn't get near it through no fault of his own.
