OTF 6191 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Neither of the first two games were oprimal for what I think is his type of play. Nonetheless he's stuck right in and it's clear that he's not short on effort. Will be more in his element when we're at home against weaker opposition and can control possession.

Will be more in his element when we're at home against weaker opposition and can control possession. When he's settled then. He for me is alot like Rob Lee and can turn out to be an even better player once adapted to the PL. He's showed promise, hard worker, tough, likes to get on the ball and shift it and has a good strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2431 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Looked good yesterday, probably our best midfielder on the day. A more complete player than Tiote in that he can pass and shoot. Tiote has been ordinary in the two games so far (at least the first half of yesterdays game) and it hasn't hurt us like it would have last season. He looks promising. Looks up for a scrap too which I can't help but like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he looks like Emre when he was at his best (not sulking and made of glass) but where the Rob Lee comparisons are coming from baffles me, it's like he's a central midfielder so he must be Rob Lee!

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have to take responsibility for the Rob Lee comparison which I said after the Darlington game. It was based on the style of attacking play and shooting ability I had seen on YouTube prior to the game along with some bone crunching tackles he put in at Darlington. When I think of Emre I tend to think of Jonas but in the middle and personally never really took to him. I don't also recall him being a ferocious tackler. Maybe I'm wrong. Cabaye will get better and better as the real formation Pardew wants to play has chance to gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Yohan Cabaye's first victory in a Newcastle shirt is one that will live with him for a very long time. The midfielder, signed from Lille in the summer, is a key part of Alan Pardew's new-look United side and caught the eye at the Stadium of Light on Saturday as they ran out 1-0 winners over local rivals Sunderland. Following the final whistle, 25-year-old Cabaye admitted he was surprised at the intensity of the Tyne-Wear derby, but was delighted to be part of the triumph. "When I started to train with the group everybody said to me you will see something special at the Sunderland game," the French international told nufc.co.uk. "They were telling me the atmosphere is fantastic, and a friend in France texted me to tell me about it too. I now know it is a big game! "It was a difficult game because there was no space to play. When I received the ball, straight away there was a tackle there and I couldn't have a lot of touches. But the most important thing is the team and we won the game, so that is perfect. "The celebrations were perfect too. We sung and it was a great atmosphere in the changing room. "This was my first win with Newcastle, and we won the derby lee_ryder Lee Ryder I could hear "I'm Coming Home Newcastle" blasting out of Toon dressing room after derby win, Busker would have been proud #nufc Sounds like a canny Team spirit to me.

Guest alex Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thought he had a canny game. He was definitely up for it too which can be half the battle in a match like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Thought he had a canny game. He was definitely up for it too which can be half the battle in a match like that. This was a real positive to see he's up for a battle and getting stuck in because if he can handle that side of the prem he's going to get the chance to show what he can do on the ball and hopefully make us tick.

After a derby win at the SOL? Who'd have thought it.. Let's leave that verdict for when we enter a bad patch eh? I hope it's then found to be present in abundance (obviously) but in the meantime it's a bit pointless confusing team spirit with euphoria.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You have to stop and smell the roses Mr Manc. Carp diem and all that.

Binner9 0 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 its a nice feeling when your midfield can actually shoot. i don't think the toons had so many midfielders who can ping one for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roses smell sweet even all the way down here in Manchester mate, don't get me wrong. I just mean team spirit is tested in adversity so we await that and hope to have our expectations exceeded then. I'd like to think yesterday galvanized us as a 'new' team.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cabaye is a small bloke. Nolan would smash Cattermole up. I look forward to seeing Cabaye link up with HBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would smash cattermole up, he's the epitome of a spineless little prick who goes over the top and tries to injure people, wouldn't last a second toe to toe with anyone remotely hard when it came to backing up the image he thinks he has.

Gemmill 34647 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Looked much better this week than against Arsenal. And as has been mentioned, looks like he's up for the scrap when required. Really promising stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano 0 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Really starting to look the part. Its gonna be one hell of a central midfield pairing once he has totally found his feet and Tiote gets into his form. Looked more of a threat attackingwise today. Unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions and really does have not only an eye for a clever pass which will create a fair few goals this year but alot of technical ability too. He is bound to score soon like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
