So you dont rate him as highly as others do. Even you must realise he cant do much if we dont give him the ball.
Good players work hard to get the ball.
Let's start Shola then.
I'd take his work-rate over Ben Arfa's every day of the week.
Ben Arfa needs to work harder to get involved in games, he doesn't offer enough defensively so offensively it's imperative that he does his best to get involved.
Looks like I'm the only one who can view it objectively though.
Agree with your point about defence/attack. Hard for him to get involved though if the ball doesnt even get close to him when he was on the pitch though.
