Christmas Tree 4711 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Pardew talking in the press about Cabaye playing the number 10 role if we can find the right "out wide striker" to play with Cisse. Be nice to see an on form Cabaye doing what Marveaux's been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4711 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Not sure what your getting at? Just be nice to see Cabaye playing that more dangerous creative side of his game that looked so good at times last year but has been missing this year. I think it was Villa where he kept peppering the goal before finally scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34913 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't see Cabaye as a 'classic no. 10' although the role has virtually died out anyway. If he's playing the furthest forward in a 3 along with 2 of Tiote, Anita and Gutierrez then I could see it working. Especially if it's HBA, Cisse and the new striker / wide man (e.g. Remy) playing ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing though, when that shape was working for us it was more a 4-2-1-2-1, which although narrow means the full backs need to work hard, almost being wing backs and the 2 DMs don't stray from being in front of the back line. This season Pardew tried to keep everyone happy by playing 4-4-2 and since then we haven't had the continuity of players to get into a flow of games. By the way Cabaye isn't a no. 10 type player, he's more the italian Fantasisti, like Platini was. As you know, no 10s are more your dribbler of the ball.

Alex 34913 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 He's a modern central playmaker in the Fabregas / Lampard / Gerrard - type mould. Rather than a Bergkamp / Baggio / Pedro type 'no. 10'. I realise the latter wore '8' before anyone points that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3353 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Didn't a certain poster, way back in Cabaye's first few games call him the new Rob Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
