Twinport53 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Great another work horse. Obviously He has a striking resemblance to Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He'll be class soon. Not so suited to our total non possession football though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 See nowt in this one like. Hate to say it - but i'm leaning on this side. 1 brilliant cross aye but minutes before that I was thinking to myself - "i've watched this lad close to a dozen times. See absolutely nothing bar a few decent crosses given time and space". He was given a brilliant position today. Loosely on the right but with permission to play down the middle, gets to press on the front foot but not worry too much about running backwards as Sissoko was covering his side most of the time, had maybe 6-7 opportunities to shine - absolutely didn't. He's not particularly quick or skilful. His passing is often too much behind his man. Takes an age on the ball. If given plenty of time and space he can put in a quality ball but for 12m you would expect more. Not written him off at all but he has a long way to go.

ujpest doza Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm stuffed here like, that humble pie was lush. I thought he had a cracking game today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He's technically very good but he has the physical assertiveness of a small boy. No good being great on the ball if you're constantly getting knocked off it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He could be slightly smarter IMO, just learn to stay in space and try to avoid confrontations with massive defenders. He's new to the league, he might pick it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He was much stronger on the ball today, I thought. Looks to be gradually getting somewhere. I'm far from convinced yet like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He tends to get caught out, taking to many touches. Only playing regular football will allow him to adapt to the pace and physicality of the league. Far to early to write him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thought he could quite easily have had a shot in the build up to Ayoze's goal, but played an intelligent ball out wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good being great on the ball if you're constantly getting knocked off it. I thought he stayed on his feet a lot more today mind, he had a good game. Eh? Ran himself into trouble a good few times. In fact today was another example of how weak/quick to hit the deck all the time as Pardew mentioned. At least 3 times he went shoulder to shoulder, fell down (from being too weak not diving), looked at the ref for the ref to no give a foul. And deservedly so. Technically, to me he doesn't look especially good. First touch is solid but he doesn't look a great dribbler and his passing isn't slick or accurate. IMO Marveaux (when he played well) seemed to move with the ball and pass the ball better and quicker. That brilliant cross aside he was decent at best. Thought he looked like the weak link. He had the time and space to do some space to do some damage 7-8 times and only produced on a few occasions. I really hope him struggling with the physicality of the league is affecting his overall game as to me - it isn't impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He's low on confidence and when you are that it's natural that you take too much time on the ball and especially decisions. You can clearly see that he has technical ability and is a better passer of the ball than he has shown. When you are confident you don't think much and everything just works without much thought. I'm sure that once he gets a goal his confidence will make a massive difference to his game overall. Just a matter of time until he's fully adapted and starts performing to the level he is capable of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Because he's done some things that shows that he clearly has natural talent, even though he's been very inconsistent so far because of low confidence. When you are low on confidence you think too much and start thinking "what if i miss this pass", you don handle or strike the ball with the same authority. I've seen him in play in france as well. No doubt that he has ability. Just needs to fully adapt and find som confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 He's obviously a good passer, made the right decision to play Janmaat in, put in that mint cross, he will be fine. No doubt in my mind Feel the same, he's a good player, he just needs to learn how to use his talents in this league. I thought he was dropped too soon originally, but maybe now we're playing slightly better he'll have a better chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 No way was Cabella the weak link yesterday, man. Sammy was dispossessed just as much, had far less passing accuracy (only 52% compared to Cabella's 81%), no key passes, no crosses and less of a defensive contribution.

Sammy was dispossessed just as much, had far less passing accuracy (only 52% compared to Cabella's 81%), no key passes, no crosses and less of a defensive contribution. Sammy can only play for 45 minutes tbf. Was desperate for Gouff to take his place within 10 minutes of the re-start. Sammy did however look dangerous in that first half, showed some skill and showed some great technique with the shot that hit the bar. Cabella was given a lot of freedom to express himself and he disappointed. He played closest to Ayoze but never really supported him well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 People he's doing it so he can tell you he was right all along. Just like he did with Cisse and Sissoko, don't bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I like a lot of what he tries to do, and he never hides. I love that. He just needs to continue playing till it all starts coming together. I don't understand how people can't see something in this guy, when they watch him. He's always involved in the action, and get's into good situations. He's fluffing his lines at the moment, as he's clearly lost some confidence, and is eager to prove himself, but this guy is good.

Apart from his horrible extended run at AM I've always been happy enough with Sissoko's contribution. Just not seeing enough quality in Cabella atm.
