He's done the part of playing him week-in/week-out. But he has not built around him and bought the proper right-back (Debuchy) to allow for Hatem to stay more forward or give him an overlapping 2-punch option. (Not Pards' fault mind you, if we take what has been said in the press/talk-ins about the Debuchy saga), and he has not given him a free-role. I think there are times Hatem takes that upon himself, or if Pards' actually has given Hatem the free-role, he's generally scored or provided the assist we needed - but it was either too late to the point we should have had him in that role all match.
