durhamunigeordie Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Please be ok next week. Don't mind a midfield two of him and Anita (or a 3 with Jonas) in home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Tight hamstring, might be ok for West Ham apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 He's a very good finisher, got great skills. Hopefully we can see him in a offensive position more often. Goals guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You'd expect a midfielder of his quality to score 10 goals + a season. He's had a decent start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Could do without these bullshit one game injuries. Fully expect to see him line up v WHU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You'd expect a midfielder of his quality to score 10 goals + a season. He's had a decent start. I wouldn't. He's not a 'goalscorer' if he's not taking penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a 'goalscorer' if he's not taking penalties. What? So a 'goalscorer' has to take the penaltys? If not he can't be a goalscorer? Not sure if serious or if im reading it wrong cause of tiredness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He's not there to score goals. He's there to make things happen and pick a pass. Zidane and Xavi have both only scored 10 league goals a season once in their careers. Iniesta's best is 8, and they are the 3 best of our generation. As long he performs consistently and dictates midfield I couldn't give a shit if he hardly ever scores. We have players ahead of him capable of scoring for fun.

Ikon Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If he plays in the right position and the right setup he will score quite many goals, doesn't matter what Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta or Pele has done or not done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think he could create that 'proven track record' in the future if being used correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Aye, me too He scored 13 goals in what probably was his breakthrough season (quite many penaltys i admit) at Lille, before he got a more defensive/deeper position in CM to make space for Hazard or whoever it was. Used correctly again i think he can build on from that season and hopefully score many more goals for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He really has some of the best technique I've seen from a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm convinced that if he played in that advanced role consistently he would score 10+ he has fantastic technique of either foot as well as great accuracy and power not to mention he's fantastic from direct free kicks. He need's more help in midfield though...Jonas has been poor, Anita has been adapting and Tiote has been inconsistent at best. Our so great midfield of last season maybe not as set as we think if this continues. Anyway he's scored 2 in his last 3 so hopefully he keeps it up we need more people scoring goals than just Cisse, Ba and Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Aye, I did a search on Youtube to find it and it came up straight away with Don't sell McCourt with Celtic fans. Works for that as it actually rhymes perfect pretty much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Compared to Xavi a few weeks ago Don't make me laugh He is in no way a Xavi. He's not dynamic, quick footed and certainly dosnt have the passing range He's less effective than Nolan used to be, at least he scored! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 After Cisse the biggest disappointment this season for me, plays far too deep for my liking, does not impact games enough and his set pieces excluding his direct shots on goal are pretty woeful.

He's not dynamic, quick footed and certainly dosnt have the passing range He's less effective than Nolan used to be, at least he scored! Before yesterday he'd notched in his 2 previous Premier league games, and even yesterday he had a good chance towards the end which went narrowly over. I'm in no way justifying his likeness to Xavi, that's quite ridiculous. Although, if i remember correctly, didn't this comparison come from his play for France?

Ronaldo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 You can put it down to Pardew all you want, but unlike Cisse I have limited sympathy for Cabaye because I really don't think in either system he's a player that will ever really get a grip on games in this league.

taxfree Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I find myself agreeing with you a lot, but when it comes to Cabaye not being good enough - not so much. If we had a team that actually played some real attacking football, and he'd been given a fitting role in the team, I think he'd flourish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
