If he doesn't start next game then there is something very wrong. A few moments of genuine class from him today in what was otherwise a fairly drab match.
He lazily stays up top goal monging which allows Best more freedom to go where he wants (which benefits Best's game), that's the best I can say about him really.
Fuck knows what has happened to Alan like. Are we playing 4-2-4 or something?
It just seems weird how he's so reluctant to play Ben Arfa, Cabaye gets injure and the safest thing to do was bring on Abeid or Vuckic but he's made a pretty radical change. I'm not complaining like.
It really suprises me that as a manager Pardew just doesn't seem exited at all by the prospect of playing and watching a player like Ben Arfa in his side. Ryan Taylor ffs, Ryan Taylor.
He does. But he isn't Ben Arfa, or foreign, so that makes him shit.
More like he's currently out of form, so that makes him shit.
Hopefylly he finds his feet again though as he undoubtedly is a good forward.
