Time and time again I see Ben Arfa spreading the ball wide, or into acres of space. Also from close situations he often sharply plays an incisive pass through tight spaces.
Vision. He sees what others can't (or haven't yet).
Am I blinded by love, making this up? I can't recall the last time I saw a Newcastle player seeing some of the passes he makes.

Also, getting fed up with the 'losing possession' comments. Seems people are focussing on that with disregard to all other players performances. Everyone loses the ball. Just when he sometimes does it he's trying to create something.
