Cabaye also started against Bournemouth where we got a point.

Just goes to show you can't trust Holmesdale Radio!
And there I was believing they knew what they were talking about!
Is the Ledley bit correct?

Cabaye rarely finished 90 minutes last year, he seemed to have a lot of injuries. We also did lose a lot of points due to Cabaye going off in games last season.

It's a little misleading to only use the lack of wins with him on the pitch at the end of the game and not take into account the scorelines when he's come off etc.

He did come on in the West Ham game and was a considerable improvement to Ledley who he replaced. At the moment you'd start Ledley but both he and Cabaye haven't really excelled this season and it is a position I'd like to see strengthened. I don't see either as having the right mix to play in the defensive midfield role.

Just stating some facts.

I think it is a little bit more misleading to make out he has significant positive impact on games that we lose. West Ham , came on and made us better ? Our
two best chances were in the first half when Benteke missed a pen and a great headed chance when Cabaye was not on the pitch .
Some people even claiming he did well against Spurs when he came on, it was 0-0 , he missed the best chance of the game and we lost 1-0.

What games did we lose due to him coming off ?
Be interesting to prove that.
Remember facts not speculation.

i love it how people love to make out ledleys a better option than cabaye...i bet even ledley himself wouldnt be stupid enough to think that.

i love ledders to bits but hes no cabaye. nowhere near as good.

shouldnt we be talking about a decent defensive display rather than digging out our most technically gifted player?

The only time I've ever seen one he was playing for Scotland. But that says more about Scotland than it says about him.
