I'm sorry, I respect the fact you are entitled to your own opinion, but I honestly can't believe how you can see it like that. As soon as he came on we had momentum, which was only stalled by the introduction of Shola. I genuinely cannot understand how people would rather watch the team that started today over the team that we had out there when Hatem came on.
We completely changed formation, that helped us more against a team playing 5 in midfield. That benefited us more than Ben Arfa coming on but it's easy again to put all the success on Ben Arfa.
Astonishing
The bloke picked the ball up near the centre of the park, advanced forward past a defender or two and clipped an inch perfect ball with pace onto the head of the only recognisable striker we had on the pitch. We may have looked a bit better with a formation change but that had nothing whatsoever to do with Ben Arfa creating the goal to make the score 1-0
