Kanji Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He's Nike'd out for all the wrong reasons. Shit he probably shouldn't leave his home with. Little RC played like a man today though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Loved that goal, he was so quick onto the loose pass and what a finish. Hopefully that will give him the scent for more goals now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He did have a good game but sometimes on the counter, he takes too much time on the ball. He's improving though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He would be truly amazing if he had some pace. He has some confidence on the ball, that nutmeg was lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The goal looked the player in the youtube highlight vids at last, made the space and hit it quick and accurately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He's a flair player, an attacker, for fucks sake he's going to lose the ball, he's going to make shit passes, and he's going to dribble a second too long and we'll wish he just passed the ball - but for all that he's the guy who worked into getting that loose ball, made the move and scored. He was brilliant on counters at times and was all over the pitch as well as putting in some great tackles. Stop criticizing him for the sake of it.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Seems like its very much starting to click for him, one of my biggest gripes with him was that he could never seem to beat a man, that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore and he was that good today he even looked like he had an extra yard of pace. Nobody is happy with Carver, including myself but at the very least the shackles might come off a bit and our flair players be given a bit of license to show their stuff.

Varadi Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Cabella Finally Looks Like Marquee Man Alan Pardew went from thanking himself for signing Remy Cabella to claiming he wasn't ready for PL football. At Hull he backed up the stats that suggested otherwise... "Everywhere you go, always take Cabella with you," sang the Newcastle fans watching a first away win since a magical November that saw Alan Pardew become the smuggest man to ever hold a Manager of the Month award. Pardew was clearly keener on that shiny award than he was on £12m signing Cabella, who he almost always took with him but often did not trust. It seems a long time since Pardew publicly thanked himself (as well as Graham Carr, Lee Charnley, Mike Ashley and everyone on the board) for signing the French international, declaring in July: "He has flair but also real hard work and commitment. He will bring talent to St James's Park I hope our fans really enjoy." By December, Pardew was saying that "he's not ready for the demands of this division yet", having started him just nine times in the Premier League and not trusted him for 90 minutes since September. He was no longer thanking himself for all the hard work that brought Cabella to Newcastle from Montpellier but instead suggesting that the man hailed in July as a 'marquee signing' was ideally suited to a substitute role. Pardew cast around for other right-sided alternatives and often favoured the out-of-position but hard-working options of Yoann Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko. After promising flair allied with diligence from Cabella, Pardew decided that the Frenchman's work wasn't quite hard enough to justify the occasional bouts of flair. John Carver - with nothing to lose but an at-least-temporary job to gain - backed the flair and was rewarded with comprehensive victory at Hull. But this was not a maverick move from Carver - Cabella is clearly Newcastle's most individually talented player even if tangible results have been scarce. Despite starting little more than half the Magpies' games, he has created more chances than any other player in that Newcastle squad, while only Sissoko has beaten more opposition players. Against an admittedly terrible Hull, he completed all six of his attempted dribbles as well as scoring a wonderful goal. As an added bonus, nobody on the pitch made more tackles than Cabella; now that's the kind of performance Pardew was prematurely thanking himself for. The underwhelming appointment of Carver and the publicly stated goal of a top-half finish has been read as tacit admission from Newcastle that this season will be allowed to drift to its inevitably mid-table conclusion; it's only the promise of Cabella singing like a bird released that could make the next four months bearable. http://www.football365.com/f365-says/9691311/F365-Says Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The speed of his feet for that nutmeg was amazing. Playing better and better, delighted for him. He seems far more relaxed, at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
