Particularly for a club like ours where there's sides who will be happy to sit further deep and allow us to take the game to them.
Kouyate as good as he is with his strengths is in no way near a replacement for Cabaye. He'll provide versatile cover for us and stiffer competition for Luka.
Playing with Schlupp and Townsend has lost that balance we had in the system last year. They're naturally wider players and McCarthur isn't the creative midfielder we need in the middle of the park to make things happen. Zaha and Townsend as the front two seriously stretched opposition teams last season which allowed the likes of RLC and PVA to really find the spaces to hurt sides.
RLC was imperative to our success last season, I hope we're doing all we can to make it happen.

Where do I say I underestimate the loss of Cabeye?
If you bother to read my post correctly I said have/will. No one has even been fit enough yet to start a game so how can they be judged.
Try and read first before you post.
