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

Love seing Cabaye play in this role, where he belongs! Will score 10+ goals next season me thinks.

 

I said this ages ago, he is brilliant in a 3 in the middle, spent his whole career in France playing that way (his words), when its just him and Tiote he gives up a lot of his creativity to chase the ball. With Tiote and Jonas giving him license to roam its been lovely to watch.

IIRC the season where he scored quite many for Lille (was it 15?) he played in a more advanced position like for us now, but after that Hazard started taking/getting more space and a bigger role for them, that meant that Cabye got a deeper role and maybe not as offensive. (i know that Hazards starting position on paper was the same as Ba's mostly, but in a quite free role)

 

Anyone who can confirm this?

On the Guthrie/Cabaye debate. I still think Guthrie technically and vision wise is on par with Cabaye but Guthrie's engine lets him down. I think fate will see Cabaye become a great footballer who plays on the European stage, where as Guthrie's football will be played at another club, where he will prosper IMO.

i don't think guthrie could spot or execute that ball yesterday, or the type of ball for ba's first at norwich, the ball for cisse at swansea or the break at WBA for ben arfa.

I think he could TBH, he's a clever lad. Although, i must say Cabaye seems to be getting better by the week and will most likley surpass anything Guthrie will achieve.

 

I'm a big fan of Guthrie though, he will be a very good player for most sides in this league (should he leave).

He hasn't really done it at any point of his NUFC career though. He's picked out some cracking raking passes into players in space before (Coloccini last season, Carroll a few times in the Championship) but nothing like those that madras listed.

I remember a French journalist saying that he played in the Frank Lampard role when he scored all the goals but that the following season, he was playing further back in a more defensive role and that was the reason he had scored a lot less goals that season.

I'm still amazed people think of comparing Cabaye to Guthrie... they shouldn't really be mentioned in the same sentence.

 

Cabaye "just" arrived, whereas Guthrie has played in England and knows the game all his life.

One is an international, one is not.

One has an eye for breakthrough passes, one might have, but fails to execute due to lack of passing skills 95% of the time.

One has defensive capabilities, where as one doesn't.

 

Do we need to continue?

 

I actually can only think of one match where I didn't really MIND seeing Guthrie on the field, and that was when Cabaye was out suspended or something. Guthrie and Perch due to ACN, although it doesn't matter, Guthrie will go and we'll get Belhanda. Who wins? :)

Playing hm in the advanced role seemed to be completely befuddle Stoke.

 

Another master strike by the man they call Pards.
