He was also popping up on the right and through the middle, I prefer a wide player to stay out wide. Stick him on the wing and he'll contribute when the ball is in that area, stick him in the middle and he'll be more involved over 90 minutes.
He didn't play the full game, he wasn't even on the pitch at the end and probably had a better last 20 minutes than he'd had during the rest of the match.
Sorry, we have no excuse for playing Nolan next week. Ben Arfa will offer us far more if he's in the middle and given the freedom to go to either side.
If we had to have had the two results that we've had at home so far I would have preferred to have had them the other way around. We can't afford to gift teams 3 points when we'll probably be competing with them for league position at the end of the season.
