he was mostly left winger. His best place should be free role, centre, left, right, danger from everywhere

mimi a true ben arfa fan what's funny is you can feel that a lot of people are not happy to see ben arfa playing well, like crevoisier and the other french cunt from chelsea... 'he got to be more consistent".....yes man, 6 games in a row is the best he played during all this career and it's at newcastle...everytime he did an "ok" match he went to the bench. Like Pardew did with him at the beginning... ben arfa is a football genius, don't care about the ok players who are "consistent" because they run 9 km and do pass backwards, f...french mentality....malouda and valbuena style... we love you hatem

ahah omplanete, full of benarfa haters but some real benarfa lovers, that's why the newcastle thread is so big question is, why such big threads for ben arfa and not for ba, or tiote or whoelse? everywhere he goes he got the bigger threads lol

gwaaan hateeeem for those who think that he "became" a new player and that's why he starts, i want to say that during his last 6 months in Marseille, he was better than that, and he was tracking back. Now he is playing, so he plays better and better. Hatem just needed confidence and lacked some fitness, credit to pardew 10 per cent credit to ben arfa the rest.

hi ronaldo, His best position is not right winger in a 442, he' s so good that he can do the job, but you don't really use his qualities by playing him out wide. His best position has to be number 10 or left winger in a 4 3 3 4 2 3 1 with ben arfa 10 and real footballers around him, here we should see some real football. Obertan playing in the ben arfa role was so funny yesterday. and please don't tell me that he has played there and was not good three months ago, he comes back from his injury... at 100 per cent, he should be the central ( in all means) player of this team

a 4 3 3 attacking would be exciting... simpson is really poor on the ball, even sagna who is shit seems to have a great vision. next year, got to change our defense ( first in premier league to thirteen)

look at williamson or simpson for example, nearly each and everytime they got the ball, they pass it to krul, long ball and give back possession.... too much fear, the first attackers of a team are the defenders...if they don't play football, we can't be a threat going forward. At the beginning of the season, it was the same tactic, but results were good. Hoofball is not direct play, it's f..... boring football.

but he lprobably be on the bench next saturday... does he really deserve it?

hope pardew will go on with him and let him a starter for 3 or 4 more games no matter how he plays... best, ameobi, obertan had that right, why ben arfa couldn't? because he is too talented?? just 3 or 4 more games, and some footballers around him...

taylor, best, ameobi, perch, simpson, williamson..... too many players in this team who l'fight to be a starter in blackburn for example...

not agree with the fact that he let simpson alone takishoma, he swept with best to play in the left side ( and with jonas too)

i think people are right to say he was terrible, but honestly, the way the team played was..... this team didn't play.... for hoofball and hard working football without trying to keep the ball on the ground ben arfa is useless... hope with demba ba cabaye tiote and cissé, we l'see some football

and he takes so much time to kick the ball evrytime, even when we were down in the score. how many possible attacks are annihilated by these long balls? the kickplay of krul is really awful to watch

question is: will the transfer of cissé will force pardew to change his point of view about the hoofball playing? will the tactic change?

can pardew play 4 3 3 ? cabaye tiote jonas ben arfa cissé ba maybe it's time to stop long balls?

people should not forget that he still wait for a proper run of games in the team since he arrived he has not reached his highest form yet

pardew " hopefully, we won't need him to make an impact"

that's why pardew and carver kept saying in the medias before the match ben arfa had to do more... they knew he lbe on the bench... and i msure that if newcastle leads, he won't come in, "luxury player', perch, obertan above him... and if he comes, he will try to do too much to impress and will lose some balls and pardew will say the same shit... just 5 games in a row, pardew, 5 full 90 minutes

with loverkrands out, it means there are best ameobi and barfa up front that's why i think ben arfa will start, pardew can't afford to loose one of his tall lads during the early minutes of the game he can afford to loose ben arfa as he doesn't use him to be honest

with the 4 4 2, jonas obertan as wingers ( even taylor), and the two big lads upfront , newcastle got a team to be 7TH, but they can't reach higher regions. the "long ballz" syle isn't played by any of the 6 top teams, they all have control of the ball and technical players to play a passing game. Ben arfa cannot shine in a collectif if there is no collectif . Of what ivseen this season, the "collectif" of newcastle is based on the fight, not on the passing playing. Will pardew be ok to change for more a passing game? for that, he should rid off jonas and obertan and put players like marveaux and .... well that's why pardew can't change the style of his team, he doesn't have the wingers for that. btw i think it would be a really good thing that ben arfa start to work hard, take example on jonas, he would be a definitive starter in any kind of team. i would love if jonas could take example on ben arfa for just football PS: in france, lot's of people think jonas is really garbage as a football player,

hello evryone why do you think pardew and carver criticize in public ben arfa? i mean obertan, jonas or best, even when they were shit ( and still are for some of dem) were never criticized publicy. and when i see him playing, i don't see a lazier player than shola or obertan ( jonas is really a good worker). I can understand what the staff want to do with him, but the lad got 2 goals and an assist in his last 180 minutes of football. Does he really deserve the bench?

what do you think will be his value at the end of the year, if he keeps playing like he did? 20 millions poundz? more? more than perch??? ashley is a good gambler

"les absentes ont toujours tord" i think pardew doesn't rate ben arfa, simple as that he can't give him a proper chance to prove how he can be the playmaker of this team while ben arfa made an assist and a goal in his last 90 minutes of football, he said "show me more" and tonight, he will say shola was "terrific"... when ba's gone, it will be shola/best upfront howay the lads, now we got to be ambitious, go for the cl

maradonna used him as a right defender for argentina. with jonas and obertan, and a 4 4 2 who wait for good crosses and impact of the wingers, i think the tactic can't work with these players.

coz the midfilder don't really create the gameplay is really unidimensionnal in this team, why don't use a 4 3 3 or a 4 2 3 1? with jonas and obertan in 4 4 2, it will be long ballz and many corners, but is that the best football this team can play?
