The debate isn't Cabaye though, who didn't have a bad game.

Let's put this in terms of Shoot magazine in the late 80's. "You be the manager"

It's five minutes to go. It's 1-1. You are being pressed back by the better side (your own words). You have created 1 chance all game bar a long shot and your defence is becoming increasingly stretched. You have the habit of throwing away late goals.

Do you.

A. Take off a forward and bring on a defender.
B. Keep things as they are, the opposition haven't created anything truly clear cut.
C. Decide to bring on a small forward taking off your best midfielder in the process, sure in the knowledge the last five minutes will be totally different and you will no doubt now win the game.

you dont know what your talking about do you...bless you, hope you enjoy this weeks shoot magazine

Regardless of zlatan and pogba...... You CANT take MacArthur off with a few minutes to go and replace him with Campbell!!!!! FFS you just can't do that!!! Why would you! Cabaye played well Benteke anonymous. Should have been a point! Man I can't believe that substitution!!!!! Genuinely dumbfounded

I don't see how we can stay up with him in charge now. This 12 months has been atrocious in the league.

I have always stood up for pardew but the final 2 subs were stupid. Should of been Townsend for Lee for some kind of out ball

Cabaye has not been strong enough in his tackle on Pogba. For me he needs to stay on his feet and hassle not go down looking for a free-kick that was never going to come. He's had a good game but that opened it up for Pogba who has put in a nice ball for the sucker punch.

Results actually went our way this evening. Could've been a lot worse. Fine margins.
