hakka Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Crap today. Granted, he had little movement around him, but he needs to be better. He got kicked around a bit as well, don't think he's adjusted yet. But yeah we are desperate and need better from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It'll take him a few games to adjust lets give him until Christmas and if he hasn't shown glimpses by then well know he wont adjust. He probably wont adjust full ly until he has a season under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 As long as Pardew and his coaching staff are here most of our players will not perform to their potential ability and furthermore likely to stagnate. Not exactly a revelation, I know, but the evidence is all there to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Its one game, he looked decent against Man City. I thought posters on this forum weren't stupid enough to judge a player based on one poor performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Its one game, he looked decent against Man City. I thought posters on this forum weren't stupid enough to judge a player based on one poor performance. I'm not judging him. He's clearly a good player. I'm just saying he's going to have to cut out the rolling around on the floor like a fanny routine and not let himself be brushed off the ball too easily. He was poor yesterday, but if he works hard he'll get better. I'm not sure what he can do about that tbh, he seems game enough, he's just very lightweight. Ben Arfa is a lot stronger at holding players off, and he wasn't exactly easy to push around even before he filled out. Just a bit more of a streetfighter mentality maybe. Cabella's not a shirker, he just doesn't look like he relishes close contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What we should do about it is fucking play Ben Arfa on the other wing. Save Remy being recognised as our only creative threat 10 minutes into every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Tries too many stepovers and tried to go past his man too much IMO, no point doing that when there's a chance it'll fail. Better off passing back into midfield like the bloke stinking out the opposite flank. He's clearly a talented footballer but it's no guarentee he'll be a success here. Unlike Ben Arfa who has the explosiveness to still be effective in our static football he's going to come in for a lot of criticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I see what you mean Sewelly but we've got more than enough players who are happy to pass it square and take zero risks, it's a huge part of why we are so boring and lacking in quality. Also given the chronic lack of off the ball movement players like Cabella don't stand much of a chance. I know it's easy to say it's all Pardews fault but its really striking how one paced and lacking in invention we've become during his tenure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of patience for flair players trying everything they can to beat a player and take chances, just like HBA. When it comes off, it's fantastic to see and inspires the others to take more chances. I'm a huge fan of Cabella from what I've seen so far and think he'll be a success here in the long term. As we all know, we just need another striker in to help ease his task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Same problem are HBA faces no movement around him so he slows the game up and tries his stepovers. Let's face it with Pardle in charge the kid has no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordstrom Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Felt like he tried to force the game again today. Guilty for slowing our game down and constantly losing possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Looks a lot better when he some space, which there wasn't a lot of on the wing especially when he's our only threat. Was better after Aarons came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
