Really enjoying watching this guy tear it up at the Euros, undoubtedly the standout player of the tournament as predicted.

it's the managers choice not to start him.

if he was given the chance to play a full 90 mins in this tournament I'm sure he would do well.

But please remind me of my words before the tournament. Come the end of the tournament, if I am totally wrong I will man-up and admit I was wrong in my predictions for HBA at the Euro2012.

Cabaye is certainly living up to my expectations at Euro2012 though. Came close to scoring in the first game multiple times and today he scored and hit the post with another shot, and his passing and deep playmaking has been very good.

Though he didn't play yesterday,he was awful in the first game,I guess playing so bad has lost his place in the starting lineup.

he came off the bench for the last 6mins of the first game, hardly enough time to settle down into the 1st game of a European Championships coming off the bench. Do you even watch the France games? You clearly don't watch the Newcastle ones.

He's not favoured by the manager for a start at the moment, simple as that. I feel it is to do with his defensive play perhaps as Blanc was complaining about this aspect of all his attackers game in the warm up matches. He needs to step it up in training if he is to win a start or a much earlier substitute appearance than the 84th minute.

I missed the first game, he got a 4 rating for God sake how can that be even considered average ;)

so you base your opinion of players at Euro2012 on newspaper/article ratings out of 10 rather than watching the game they played in.

He played 6 mins out of 90 coming off the bench and you say he played awful despite you not watching the game at all.

OK, your knowledge of football is starting to make an awful lot of sense to me now. :)

Well if i miss a match then i judge how the players performed through their ratings,compare his performance to Fabregas against Ireland, now that was a real performance from a sub.

and you make claims about a players performance with such authority as if you had watched the match yourself while you don't even know that a player you are claiming played an awful game played 6 mins out of 90 mins.

:lol:
