Made a video comparing Ledley vs Cabaye passes in the West Ham game. The video focuses on the passes to analyse how Cabaye was able to build attacks throughout the park while we remained stagnant in the first half.

I thought Cabaye looked really motivated (after being on the bench the last couple of games) and had a really good half. You could see how he changed the game for us (although you can argue West Ham was sitting a little deeper but that is in part because Cabaye is much more agile and quick).

With Cabaye playing deep like this alongside McArthur and Punch in the 10 spot hopefully, we can see some improved midfield play.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

Nice try, Yohan. Your time would be better spent practising your set pieces...

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

Couldn't you have chosen better background music?

David nice video, really shows the difference in urgency and how he's starting so many transitions.

Only thing in Leadleys defence is may be he didn't want to push so hard in the first half at one nil down and leave a hole open to loose a second.

But yes the video really shows Cabayes quality. Think he'll have a blinding game today.

Oh and thanks for taking the time in making it.

In my defence it was meant to be lighthearted! It did show the difference in their play in that game. YC gave it the hurry up as we were chasing the game but has the ability to play that way if needed. I'd like to see an analysis of JM - he was less than his average
