ponsaelius Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 1 letter ffs. Seriously though, well impressed by that interview. Seems an intelligent guy. Not just off the pitch, I also get the impression he's somebody who really understands the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 He is clearly a very clever guy. Should have a long career in the game. then clearly he is too good for us... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Still find it hard to believe he plays for us. A thinker and a doer, gets up and down the pitch, tackles, passes and shoots well. Bargain of the summer, how on earth we got him, much less for a bargain fee is amazing.

Revolution Number 9 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Can't remember the last time we had a player where whenever they got the ball you instantly thought 'something fucking awesome is going to happen here'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 that's exactly how much Jenas used to cover when he was playing fairly well for us. Cabaye does seem to have a great engine, i think he said he is covering up to twice as much ground in a typical game as he would in france - wonder how long he will be able to keep it up. Since Jenas has a much longer stride length, Cabaye would have to work quite a lot harder to cover that ground. Athleticism ranked as probably Jenas greatest attribute and it made him a decent player for us. Cabaye actually likes to pass forward and find the strikers so imagine how good he's going to turn out.

James Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would say he does go invisible at times especially in first half, but he will reappear with aplomb. I have seen more good passes by Newcastle players than the last five years put together and this is down to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thought he was invisible in the 1st half because the play was focus on the wings and the strikers. Pretty large gap between the midfield and the attacking quarter. Possibly ask to sit back to be more defensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I can't remember him making a bad pass today, the worst was a pass to Simpson which would have been his best pass if Simpson had put a little more effort into getting on the end of it.

He was sitting very deep in the first half, certainly didn't venture very far forward much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Quiet brilliance, could see he had been asked not to push on to much today. : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Quiet in the first half, but really came into his own in the second. Some of those through balls from deep were majestic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Blackburn packed the midfield today, so he didn't receive much room. And also I think Pards wanted to attack Blacburn's weakest point, left back. So we channeled much of the play on that say. Did get more involved as the game went on, since Blackburn had to switch formation. We've struggled the last seasons when up against Blackburn, because they're physically strong, and their defensive formation. . Now we have the creativity and pace necessary to take them out. Hopefully we'll play better against similar teams like Fulham, Wolves and Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 As Pardew alluded to on radio, they had him man marked in the first half and who could blame them after seeing last weeks game. Pards found it funny and said teams can carry on doing it if it leaves infinite amounts of space for Tiote and the wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when teams double-mark Ben Arfa, that'll leave Cabaye and Jonas to kill them softly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 aaah ok that explains why his passing is down. To think only so many games into season and he's being man marked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Cabaye admitted he had been blown away by the reception he received by the United faithful after another top-class display in a black and white shirt from the former Lille ace. This was typified towards the end of Saturday’s 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers, when the Strawberry Corner section of the Gallowgate End rose to their feet in adoration for the midfielder who some fans have already nicknamed The Dreamboat.
