David28 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thought it was the right thing to sub him, btw. Only normal to try to give your best players a rest when you're 2-0 up and have a game in a few days time. Ferguson usually starts 'preparing' for the next match once they lead comfortably.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Picked up a strain like Tiote he said. Very good display. He's extremely clever and decisive in the final third, good to see him further forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Fantastic today, the work rate is always there but the assists were brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm thinking we still haven't seen the best of him... lucky us! And he wants to stay...forever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 For all the talk about him not performing, he's now matched his highed league assists tally in a season with 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 He's looked much better since we dropped 4-4-2. Namely because he doesn't have to do someone else's job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 He seems very tactically aware, always plays the position asked and well, work rate is top class and I think he will get much better next year on the ball. At the moment he is being asked to Chase down and counter rather that sit and dictate, no wonder he sometimes struggles when getting the ball. I think we need more triangles through the team as a few times he has combined brilliantly with Ben arfa n tiote to send us on a run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pintofscottsellers Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 That perfectly weighted pass for the first goal was class, love out like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 He did play in a more advanced role yesterday, and he got two assists. He certainly had the ability to split defences with his passes, so let tiote do the dirty work and cabaye do what we know he can do further forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 He did play in a more advanced role yesterday, and he got two assists. He certainly had the ability to split defences with his passes, so let tiote do the dirty work and cabaye do what we know he can do further forward He really was a lot more advanced, a number of times he was about 20 yards ahead of Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Having Jonas and Tiote behind him to do most of the leg work is definitely going to bring out the best in him, especially in games that are less physically demanding on the front-players than chasing Swansea's sideways passes all game. He's a competent defensive midfielder in that he knows where to position himself and works tirelessly, but yesterday highlighted how much he's wasted in that position.

gbandit Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Lovely assurance on the ball, was just good to see him not spend the whole game snapping around trying to win the ball back and doing nothing passes. This is the Cabaye we'll see all next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Looks much more at home in this formation - can do his pressing from the front and is ideally positioned for those sweet little through balls, really good to see him more involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Journal say its a hamstring injury: Rodgers and his men knew the game was up and Newcastle played out the contest perfectly – with only a hamstring injury to Cabaye causing them any great concern Read More http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/nufc-results-reports/2012/04/07/swansea-city-0-newcastle-united-2-61634-30710936/2/#ixzz1rOrSb7FG Doubt he'll make Monday if thats the case.
