Mick Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There was one point when he got the ball in the middle of the park and without even adjusting his body or looking, he just passed it over the top about 40 yards to Obertan on the wing. This lad is going to be some player for us. Wait until he has Ben Arfa running onto those balls, it will be stunning to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He's an edgy little bastard like, 2 games in a row he's squared up to some fucker He looks as though he can pretty much do everything in the centre though, just an alround class player with a wand of a right foot. Sexy bassa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How can they not mention him on motd, if it was a Chelsea, Man Shitty or Liverpool midfielder they would be going ape. Shithouses. Let's just keep him below the radar This, this and more of this. Agreed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like the thought that PL managers watch MOTD to work out who to buy Was concerned after the 120 minutes on Thursday that he'd fade today, but he was class yet again. Few decent shots as well (including the dipping half-volley for Best's first goal). His set pieces are 1000% better than Barton's too. It's great to have a CM partnership that you're proud of.

Yorkie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 That long ball to Ba late on - lovely stuff. He been getting tips from Guthrie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 That long ball to Ba late on - lovely stuff. He been getting tips from Guthrie? He played a couple of more impressive ones than that as well. He bossed that midfield area from about 25 to 75 minutes, growing in confidence now.

Yorkie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Another point. I mean this in a strictly athletic sense, but he's got to be one of the fittest midfielders we've had on our books for years? Tenacious, non-stop performance against the Mackems, 120 minutes away from home in midweek, and another 90 today. Fit as fuck like. Another point. I mean this in a strictly non-athletic sense, but he's got to be one of the fittest midfielders we've had on our books for years? Fit as fuck like.

TRon Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looked liberated today without Barton operating in his space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah I was thinking Cabaye and Barton maybe too similar in the same team, although I thought we missed Barton in the first 15 minutes massively. It's only a matter of time before he scores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If we didn't just concentrate on contract clauses and showed some ambition by spending the big bucks we could have signed a player like Henderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sydneycove Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If we didn't just concentrate on contract clauses and showed some ambition by spending the big bucks we could have signed a player like Henderson. Always passing sideways or backwards, breaking up his own teams attack with indecisiveness and negative passing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He was joking mate, I think like most on here he'd rather have Cabaye than Henderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 its scary how good he is and it was a pleasure to watch him in person today. his passing range is frightening and his overall performance was magnificent. my MOTM by far. adore the guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daveaha Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He's massive in Fulham game. He got good long range shot too.... Glad we have him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ykmkmdd Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Canny stat the commentator mentioned that apparently Cabaye had checked his own performance figures and had covered twice as much ground in the Arsenal game as he would in an average Lille match - once he gets fully up to the pace of the Prem he's going to be fantastic.

Rebellious Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Reminds me of Paul Scholes. Good range of passing, A good shot, vision and has a dodgey tackle in him when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 He's slotted into the team without any transition period. Can shoot, can pass and really covers the ground. Not much of a tackler, but he's prepared to track back and get in the way. Great attitude on him and a fantastic buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Feisty little fucker isn't he, loves getting stuck in and having a bit of a row with the opposition Nice to have a head up footballer that always looks to get the ball forward. Seems to love the fans already as well, was buzzing when he was running over to take corners, Joey never seemed arsed, Cabaye is far better looking as well You can tell he still isn't quite used to the pace of our game, yet he still looks class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ShearerWHC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Looks really class. When wingers and strikers get used to his long balls, it'll even step up his performances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Looks really class. When wingers and strikers get used to his long balls, it'll even step up his performances Exactly. He's managing to look good with very little movement in the team, hopefully when that improves he's going to look even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
