    Yes I think it had a lot to do with Cabaye sitting deeper, but the main reason was that we stopped giving Ben Arfa the ball for some reason. Every time he got the ball he caused problems, but for 15-20 minutes before half time, he wasn't in the game.

    in pardews interview he said Abeid was sitting too deep (i suppose that would have had a knock on effect on Cabaye). Couldnt really tell from the highlights though <whistle>

    Yeah, Abeid was playing a similar sort of role to that which Tiote usually does. Although Abeid was possibly even deeper as he was dropping between the two centre backs to pick up the ball as Krul was playing it short all the time :)
