ShearMagic Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The challenge was on Adam wasn't it? Spearing and one of our players went down in a heap seconds earlier though. I'm willing to accept that I may have completely imagined this whole scenario like Challenge was certainly on Spearing. Tiote and Henderson were the ones that went down in a heap.

Ronaldo Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Still don't think Cabaye and Tiote is working properly. Both of them need to play next to a box-to-box player, really. Especially Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OoOGazOoO Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Does need to watch his tackling, the one on Spearing was a shocker to be fair. He gives away a lot of free kicks and he does make some silly fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Referee clearly saw it. Can't do a thing. They probably should, it's twice he's gone in dangerously with studs up this season. Not sure what people were watching???... Adam clearly went in recklessly and with intent and ended up doing himself an injury... Ref was right in front of it... Adam is the lucky one from what I've saw of it... Luck YC made nothing of it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'd like to see him moved up to be a central playmaker in a 4-2-3-1 with tiote and abeid behind him (assuming Abeid can make the step up) like he was at Lille. Having said that though the one thing we know about Pardew is that once he has decided where a player plays he ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly it was Jay Spearing not Charlie Adam, I'm sure Adam would be chuffed you think he looks like gollum! Secondly, Cabaye was extremely lucky not to see red for that. I like his feisty approach but there are ways to go about it. That was just stupidity and will cost him games through suspension if he repeats that tackle again.

Cabaye far from covered himself in glory, but I do remember thinking at the time that Spearing had flown in at such pace that he maybe caught Cabaye unaware. Then again it could be my black and white specs kicking in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 In slow motion it looks bad but in real time I don't think Cabaye had eyes for anything but the ball. He just flew into the tackle putting himself under Cabaye's boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Him & Tiote have 9 yellow cars between them right? Not a good look. I keep saying this but i'd like to see him in a more advanced role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 nothing to worry about, both in the middle of the park and getting stuck in and with refs these days you will also pick up bookings, some of the yellows both players have had this season have been a joke. they now can pick up 10 before any suspensions kick in as well.

Tisd09 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The speed of the incident makes me think it wasn't pre meditated, I think Cabaye was lucky that Spearing flew in like he did, took the emphasis away from Cabaye. I think it was poor from Cabaye but it look horrendous slowed down not as bad normal time. I don't think we could complain much about a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be talking about a completely different incident... Was definitely Adam... In the centre circle... Adam went in to clatter him and ended up hurting himself leading to his substitution and the introduction of Gerrard... His teammates surrounded the ref looking for a card when it was Adam that was the lucky boy... The Spearing incident I can't recall so that in itself would suggest it was much to do about nothing...

Fugazi Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If it was Spearing tackling Cabaye like that, we would have been baying for blood. Couldn't have had any complaints if Cabaye was sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Definetly talking about a different incident to the one I'm referring too then... Adam held his leg with one hand and held his other up in agony after doing himself in the tackle... Game re-started with a drop ball that Carroll knocked back to our keeper...
