Shearer's rubbish. Absolutely rubbish.
Reminds me of a boxer who's had a sterling career but really isn't telegenic because of both lack of intelligence and brain damage.
The fact that he played alongside Shola today and scored two suggests otherwise.
Shola is basically poor, but he's very capable of turning a lot of loose balls into solid possession. That's certainly something that Ba needs.
He's also capable of turning solid possession into loose balls. That's certainly something that Ba doesn't need.
Which is why I'd never choose to play Shola alongside Ba.

Listen, for the record I'd probably start Ben Arfa 8 times out of 10, simply because Obertan is crap.
With Ba, he HAS to start regardless. There's nobody that can replace what he gives us or even come close.
