Yohan Cabaye retires


Optimistic Nut

Looks a lot better in the opponents half that's for sure.

 

Wonder who is holding him back.

 

Apparently himself according to Cajun.

 

I admit it's unlikely, but how do you know it actually isn't him? It's not like we constantly hear Pardew yelling at him to stay back, and afaik he hasn't really mentioned that Cabaye needs to sit back more and help the defence in any press conferences. Maybe Cabaye himself feels he needs to help the defence more, or simply feels like he is more useful around that area of the pitch. Just seems to me like its very easy to blame Pardew without actually having much knowledge of the conversations that go on during training, in the changing rooms etc.

feeble eh? decent first half, lush ball into cisse and cross for ba- him and guthrie were poor and lost the ball a lot in the second. perch looked better because he's well sutied to a no nonsense clear the ball at all cost defensive midfielder.

 

although i probably bit :fishing: :laugh:

Perch's job was completely different though, and we expect different from Perch.  Surely everyone can see that we don't play in a way that suits this bloke.  Its fair enough saying stuff like he needs to get involved more but it takes at least two people for a successful pass.  Its the movement and the defensive mentality thats the problem.  Our midfielders at the moment are just 'bodies' who get stuck in - James Perch is good at this.

Having seen the highlights, a great deal of  the good stuff we did came from Cabaye, created two wonderful chances, got into the box and had a chance of his own, started off a lot of our attacks.

 

Saying he had a poor game is such a load of absolute rubbish. Seems to be the people who are desperate to justify the manager's negative approach that are just dying to tell us that it's all the players' fault.

He was a lot better today than his recent outings imo. Wasn't his best game by any means but he was definitely a lot more influential today than against Arsenal (especially in an attacking sense), some nice passes here and there - has to be said though, we haven't seen that Cabaye for a while.

Feeble again. Totally eclipsed by James Perch.

Load of tosh.

 

Not really. James Perch eclipsed most players on the pitch today. He was outstanding. On the other hand, Cabaye needs to be given license to do what he does best, and for some reason he doesn't appear to have that atm. Not thatit matters like. We're in europe.

been poor recently but i think he was alright and did one or two really good things. and even when he looks crap on the ball he always puts a good shift in defensively, as he did today.

 

think he benefitted from having an extra midfielder in there (at least before 2nd half when he stuck to the left-wing position more and drifted out the match for a bit) as it meant he wasn't charging around after the play most the time but could compose himself. played a handful of neat one-twos with the likes of guthrie as well.

When Shola came on he was told to get forward and was clearly happy about it. Then about 5 minutes later when guthrie went off pardew called him over and said hold your horses son, goslings taking that role. We need to stay back. You could see cabaye trying to hide his dissapointment.

People on this board deal in extremes :lol:

 

One minute James Perch is James Perch.  The next minute he's Franz Beckenbauer.

 

One minute Yohan Cabaye is well, Yohan Cabaye.  The next minute he's James Perch.
