Gallowgate Toon Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Unless you're a striker with ability to create and take your own chances, no useful attacking player can contribute anything consistently in a Pardew team. Not enough movement, not enough support. Spot on. This is why now Pardew is truly f***ed. Yep. I mean, Cabella is a very different player to Ben Arfa, he's a wide man in the same sense as Silva, Nasri or even Mata (at Chelsea). He requires a bit of thought to get the best out of as he's not the type that's just going to get the ball and beat loads of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Writing off a player after just 3 games in a new league. You'd have to be foolish to write him off. However, he deserves criticism for the way he has played over the last few games IMO. And it has very little to do with the position he is playing or Pardew etc. My issues with him are: - does tricks whilst standing still, to no one, for no reason. - can't seem to beat his man. - he's a bit wet and needs to man up, stand up in challenges etc. None of those things are position / Pardew related, just my honest assessment of his performances so far. Also, don't buy the argument that he's suffering from being our only creative outlet. It's nonsense. Neither Villa or Palace have particularly doubled up on him. Anyway, I hope he improves, for everyone's sake, because it hasn't been great so far. Very much this. Plenty of time for him to sort it out but it's just annoying he's far from hitting the ground running, we are desperate for some spark for making things happen.

Zero Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 In a normal team, Cabella probably would be a better choice, contributing in many aspects and make better decisions despite not that talented. In fact I start feeling that Pardew and HBA are probably their career's best ever partner --- if there isn't a clash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 For those that have watched more of NUFC this season than me (not difficult), does he track back much? Just wondering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Plenty of our support have been expecting basically another Ben Arfa but who is 100% consistent and works his absolute bollocks off for £12m, so true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Made more tackles yesterday than any other NUFC player. But yeah, I would love to see him play next to Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Fear that he is inevitably going to take a whole bunch of s*** for not being Hatem now. Different player but Pardew has all but made him Hatems replacement. If he continues to take time in finding his feet it wont take long before certain fans start tearing him to shreds, it even started after three games. Looks even more of a confidence player than Hatem too, so could be a tough year for him. Maybe we should make up some "I've been Pardewed" T-shirts to send to all our players.

I like Cabella but it will get to him eventually, and he will retreat into his shell. We're totally f***ed Will piss myself laughing when this happens BTW. "are you not entertained " will go through my head in relation to pardew and the soopa cunts who cheer Stevie bantz on, tell Tiote to shoot everytime he gets the ball and thought Ben Arfa were shit.

Yorkie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I now feel like I dislike Cabella a bit and I shouldn't. I've absolutely no fucking idea who the guy is, tbh. Like everyone we've signed. That should be exciting in a way, given his pedigree, but to me he's just another unknown footballer from France who will get wasted by our terrible manager - whether he's quality or turboshit. Just like all the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
