Dave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Some players become overrated when they aren't playing, but I think if anything we underrate Cabaye's importance to us. He has fight as well as quality. As I said the other day, I'm convinced only he and Tiote have genuine positional awareness. Anita is a good player too, but whenever neither of Tiote and Cabaye are playing we look all over the place in the middle. Fantastic to have him back, and his performance today is making me feel a bit guilty about slagging Pardew so much. Only a bit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Anyway, how many FK's has he got now? 3/4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Team is playing much better with him back. Even the Shola-Cisse duo doesn't look completely dross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There are way too many people on here that don't see how important he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There are way too many people on here that don't see how important he is. I love him, even got his name on my shirt. First time i ever put one on a shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He does the stuff that goes unnoticed. Aye but he isn't the only one today..... the midfield 3 is sexy as f*ck and compliments each other perfectly it should be a starting midfield going forward no ifs, not buts, no coconuts..... Shame our front line doesn't have anywhere near the same class as Anita-Cabaye-Marveaux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMTW Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is there an RSPCF who I can report Pardew to for his mistreatment of footballers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Groins & hamstrings. Arguably the two most volatile & difficult-to-manage soft tissue injuries - and our two most influential midfielders' seasons have been hijacked by them. I hope this knock, as alluded to in Pardzilla's post-match comments, is an unrelated knock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Played much better in a 3 man midfield, shock horror. Hope his injury isn't too serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Did he look injured like? I didn't see it today, a lot of people where complaining about him going off which would seem strange if he was struggling. Like I say I didn't see it but it just stinks of another of pardews ridiculous fucking subs, costing us points again I've had it with the bastard now so he gets blamed for everything.

Skirge Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Has in injury there are worried about it but fortunately does not look too bad. Expected Yo to be able to play full game with work he has done, is why he felt ok to replace Marv but then Yo got injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mentions nothing about being injured in the nufc.co.uk interview. Hopefully nothing serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's not injured man, just Pardew talking bollocks. Didn't expect him to play the full 90 first game, had no problem with him coming off, the problem was the Marveaux substitution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's not injured man, just Pardew talking bollocks. Didn't expect him to play the full 90 first game, had no problem with him coming off, the problem was the Marveaux substitution. Then Anita. Desperate for a goal and our central midfield was Perch and Bigirimana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cabaye-Anita-Marveaux worked excellently today, the main positive to come from the match. Obviously Pardew found that unacceptable and fixed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He was feeling his groin for about 5 mins before he came off and spoke to Pardew just before he was subbed. No idea why Marveaux was subbed. Baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cabaye-Anita-Marveaux worked excellently today, the main positive to come from the match. Obviously Pardew found that unacceptable and fixed it. What worked best was the fact we passed the ball on the ground and people moved into space to receive passes. This may have been slightly easier due to Reading not closing down as much as other teams we have faced. However the rudimentary skills needed to play football were on show today and we looked far better when we showed we had and could use them. Verdict: no more long ball please.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cabaye-Anita-Marveaux worked excellently today, the main positive to come from the match. Obviously Pardew found that unacceptable and fixed it. The balance of it was fantastic. We've found it tough to break teams down this year, so it was fairly impressive that we got through a very defensive Reading a few times, that's the highest amount of clear cut chances we've created for a long time. One of the few positives I've taken from today, and something that gives me a shred of hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
