AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Tiote and Cabaye are an excellent midfield partnership. It's quite weird, I still feel a bit nervous about the protection they provide to the defence playing as a 2, even though we haven't let that many goals in. Just wonder if they can really cover the ground. But I guess they're doing a decent job at the moment. Ignore me, basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Nah, they're not an excellent midfield partnership at all. Excellent midfield partnerships control games, and we just don't, like almost literally ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I can see Chelsea and Liverpool as two teams that would be after him. Liverpool...possibly. Chelsea, I doubt it. I just get the impression Mourinho likes more physically imposing players through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Tiote and Cabaye are an excellent midfield partnership.

Just wonder if they can really cover the ground. But I guess they're doing a decent job at the moment. Ignore me, basically. Eh? They've always offered good protection to the defence. It was them who played during our solid run at the back when we finished 5th early in the season. The problem is that they are often out numbered and spend too much time defending. At which point Cabaye gets huffy and Tiote starts to think he's Yaya. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Nah, they're not an excellent midfield partnership at all. Excellent midfield partnerships control games, and we just don't, like almost literally ever. This is true. But this is down to Pardew more than anything else. At our best with him, we've either been a steady team defensively with "moments of magic" or a good counter attacking unit... also steady defensively. Possession, controlling games... nah I don't think Pardew can do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I can't really believe that the idea of them being a great partnership has been met with a dignified answer, even if it is to totally disagree with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hatem garrincha Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Man of the match for France tonight (with Sakho) in his best position for me, just in front of the defense in a middle 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Still not sure if he will be here after January but hopefully the World Cup will keep him here until the end of the season as he knows he needs to play regularly to keep his place and that is the one thing we can guarantee him which the top teams can't.

EthiGeordie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 'Respect' is the headline of L'Equipe today. Fitting. Cabaye described as France's 'little prince' thanks to his role in Ukraine win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Arsenal have midfielders for days, Cabaye is one of the last players they'd need from us They are lacking a CB and ST. However, Cabaye is more talented than Arteta at least. Flamini too. But since they have both of them he's not really needed when they have bigger issues.
