Cabella under Sbr or kk.  Dreamy.  Never mind

 

I do really like him but I do worry what'll happen when teams start to identify him as our dangerous player.

They will double up and he'll struggle again.

 

It will create space for other players but knowing us we won't take advantage of it.

Had a great game and tired towards the end but the shackles are off and Carver believes in him so credit for that and looks like he is enjoying himself ,the tricks that failed under Pardew seem to be working now not all the time i might add but we have a good player here who is allowed to express himself  :smitten:

              Ayoze

 

Sammy  de Jong  Cabella

 

Is what I'm excited for.  Sammy's more of a placeholder than anything.  Wait

 

            Cisse

 

Ayoze  de Jong  Cabella

He seems to have so much freedom of movement now that I don't think it'll hinder his individual game too much. He was doubled up against a couple of times when out wide yesterday but managed to wriggle through, I think he's a got the hang of it.

i might add he tracks back and works hard for the team more than Ben Arfa ever did tbh

Ayoze - Cisse - Cabella

--------De Jong---------

----Sissoko-Abeid------

 

Basically Abeid needs to sit, Cabella, De Jong and Ayoze moving in and around to get into spaces and scoring positions. One can only dream. Rolando getting in there as a sub or in cases that Cisse needs a rest.

I'd like to see Cabella and Ayoze behind a striker. There was one period of play yesterday where they both linked up well and not for the first time this season

 

I think they would look great with a Shearer type CF who could hold the ball up well.

I think De Jong would have to play deeper as a CM if we went with those players. Not enough balance otherwise imo.

If teams start paying extra attention to him then hopefully that means more space for Sissoko, Perez and De Jong if he can get fit and stay fit.

 

I do have similar concerns though.

 

The other players need to be coached on how to exploit that extra space though.  One of the problems we had with HBA was that teams would double up on him but we didn't exploit the extra space because all the players were concerned with was holding their shape and staying solid.  Whether or not they'll get that coaching I don't know.  I doubt it with the current setup.

well said

 

one good thing about cabella from his YT vids in france (:yao:) and what we've seen of him here is while he's not as gifted as HBA he gets his head up a lot more and is often looking for a pass to a teammate, if we get people running off him at pace then i think it will reap dividends

Just imagine coming here as Cabella from Montpellier and then being coached by John Carver and Steve Stone man.

Playing 4-3-3 since the age of eight, pass and move and all that then just thrown to the mercy of our clogger set up. It must take a strong character to survive coming here as your first move abroad. The most bemused must be Vurnon Anita. He's probably forgot more about decent coaching than our 3 stooges know combined.

 

Cabella was always going to struggle early doors but the recent signs are encouraging. Even though he's a bit of a Ronaldo wannabe, he takes a good kicking and gets on with it a lot better than I expected. Now he's realised he's up to the battle his quality is starting to show through. If Aarons ever recovers from Pardiola rushing him back then we could be in for a couple of decent wingers soon.
