Guest hatem garrincha Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ah that old chestnut. "He was asked". And he had no option but to answer and fill the papers, I feel sorry for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 No one was prepared to bid more than £10m for him, and France had decent results without him in the side. I imagine Cabaye's had a bit of a reality check about how highly he's really rated and will be pretty desperate to put in some eye catching performances if only to cement his place in the France line up for the WC. Pardew didn't need to say anything really, when the window was open it's not as if Cabaye took a blind bit of notice when he was pushing for a move.

Guest Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 "Decent results". They drew with Georgia and had to come back from behind twice in Belarus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 :lol: Seriously though, I might have missed something, but did Cabaye definitely "not want to play". I have a feeling it was more the club wanting to shift him on for a big sum... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 How was he today? I would say decent is a fair description. Played well enough, didn't do anything spectacular but wasn't invisible. Had a shot he probably should have put across the box but tbh most players would have done the same in his position and he wasn't far off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Played as an attacking mid with Anita and Sissoko behind him. He was general average. Didn't do anything of note except a shot near the end of the first half that might have been better to try and play across the goal. Didn't give the ball away or put in any stupid challenges though. I can't remember him creating anything though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He's good at what he does but I've never had him as a wow player. He is clearly very talented but don't understand the hype tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thought he was okay, but didn't involve himself as much as i'd like. It will come though i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Rehabilitation match for him, unspectacular but think he came through. Think we'll see much more of him in the games ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 re mole and wil... he played like he did in that 6 win spell season before last, much further forward doing all the work chasing so the wider two can drop onto the full backs (re watch the swansea away game) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just felt that he could of expressed himself a little more, i'm sure that will come though first start of the season and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 How was he today? Average at best. Game past him by a bit, played further up the midfield, managed to get in one of his trade mark horror tackles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Log on to www.nufc.co.uk on Monday for an exclusive interview with Cabaye, where he reveals all about the transfer window and his future at Newcastle. Going to be some PR spin that the club has suggested he do. As for his performance, agree that it was fairly average but certainly no worse. He will have much better days if we stick with this system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He worked very hard indeed, and did the simple things OK, but the creative stuff just didn't come off for him. Noted 3 or 4 times when he sharp filled in at LB after Santon had been further up the pitch with Villa on the counter attack. Very important to see players (who are apparently in a huff) do this sort of thing, as it shows commitment and good preparation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He did pretty good for a reserve like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thought he did while we were in possession, but he over-committed in an almost prideful way when he lost the ball (similar to what Beckham used to do), and Villa just pinged the ball around him and opened up space in the middle of the park. Ah well, still rate him and think he'll come good again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hasn't played as the furthest forward midfielder for about 2 years so think it just needs time. Certainly helped us having him constantly pressing their players high up the pitch. Think that position will suit him better in home games where he will get more time to try and pick out runs of the front 3 and thread the ball through like we know he can.

Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So what we expecting from this interview then? I'm going for the standard "had my head turned, I'm a Newcastle player and I'll give my all", type spiel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
