Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not as good on the ball as Ben Arfa and probably not as naturally gifted but potentially better all rounder, the whole "graft" and track back stuff is tiresome but I have to admit it was great to see him chase down players when he lost the ball, such a scrappy player.

He's more of a proper playmaker than HBA. Not as naturally gifted but very intelligent. He's just less selfish. Ben Arfa is probably the most gifted player I've ever seen in a Newcastle shirt but he seems to think the rest of the team are just getting in the way.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wouldn't say either one is clearly more gifted than the other tbh. Cabella seems a better playmaker and is more gifted passer with better vision while Ben Arfa is quicker and is a more gifted dribbler. They are just gifted in different ways, absolute crime they are not linking up together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Such a shame it has to be about which is better rather than them playing together. Pardew's biggest crime tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Under a certain KK this lad and Ben Arfa would be first names on the team sheet, he would find a way to accommodate them and build the team around them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It doesn't take a genius to see how we could accommodate them in the same team, just stick them on either flank in a fluid 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and let them do their thing. You probably wouldn't want to start them both away to Man City and games like that where you know you'll have to defend for large parts of the match but that's how I'd start pretty much every home game at the very least. I know it's early but Cabella seems like he has a decent work ethic and his aggression and willingness to harry players to try and win the ball back was evident against City. Such a shame we won't see it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will allow us our right to watch anything like that because in his retarded mind it risks his own job. Complete and utter charlatan who doesn't deserve to be in football.

KaKa Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Really like Cabella's energy, as someone mentioned earlier, really enjoys himself out there, and generally seems like a fun guy, also looks to get his team mates involved. Good type of character to have in the team for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Cisse is s*** man. He was very good at shooting until he was here for more than 6 months. If there was ever a case for being Pardew'd he is it. A one or two touch instictive striker being played out on the right and asked to help the full back out. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just gifted in different ways, absolute crime they are not linking up together. Ben Arfa can do so much with the ball most players couldn't even conceive some of it. Just look at how he strikes the ball for example. He can hit the ball so it dips, bends or swerves. His problem is his decision making, if that was better he'd be playing for Madrid not us.
