I wasn't at the Leicester game and a lot of people seem to be criticising Cabaye.
However I have read two Sunday paper match reports,one made him man of the match overall and put him in their team of the day,and the other rated him Palace's best player.So it seems like he had a decent game to me.

Whatever one might have seen or not seen it doesn't to me make sense that a "creative midfielder" could be man of the match when his team lost 3 - 1 basically because they were overstretched in midfield for three-quarters of the match.

Whatever happened on Saturday though I do like the idea of Cabaye being played further forward and think he can influence the game more there provided we aren't being forced to play deep. Whether I'd willingly sacrifice Puncheon for him on a regular basis I don't know though - he was only there because Puncheon was out.

If the midfield was that bad, how come we had 55% possession? Surely the worrying fact is that we had 23 attempts on goal, 7 on target, yet only scored once. They had 4 shots on target and scored 3! The worry for me is at the ends of the pitch - not the middle.

Yup. Nailed on. Defence is porous and we're still not scoring
