Lush Vlad Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Off the top of my head, he was hit and miss in the centre earlier in the season, sublime to ridiculous really. Had a stinker against Villa after his "I'm the best English midfielder" comments. Was captain as well and tried to do everything on his own. Was class against Chelsea and WBA I thought, didn't have Tiote helping either, Raylor one game and Guthrie the other He has certainly been more effective playing wide right, but IMO he hasn't become a shit centre midfielder overnight. Do Stoke actually use their centre midfield though, thought it was usually an aerial bypass of that area. Back to the Arsenal game, I hope we play 4-2-3-1, not sure if Barton would fit in a 3 behind Ba, maybe Obertan will start with Jonas and Marveaux. Would like to see Joey in the starting XI though.

Guest cr4igora Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I thought Ben Arfa was more of a wide player? And isnt' Barton better in the middle than on the right were we've been playing him? Take it you don't watch us play football. Generally a couple of away games a season and all the televised matches. A bit of an arm-chair fan unfortunately, but it doesn't mean I love them any less than anyone here! So this was my idea of where our midfielders played. Please correct me where I'm wrong: Yohan Cabaye - central/attacking midfielder Joey Barton - central/right wing Danny Guthrie - central Dan Gosling - central/attacking midfielder Alan Smith- central/forward Jonas Gutierrez - left wing (left back on unfortunate occassions) Cheik Tiote - central/defensive midfielder Haris Vuckic - attacking midfielder/forward Shane Ferguson- left back/left wing Hatem Ben Arfa - left wing/attacking midfielder Sylvain Marveaux - central/attacking midfielder Gabriel Obertan - right wing Bradden Inman - central Mehdi Abeid - central/attacking midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Marveux - Left wing/attacking midfielder Alan Smith - Gutierrez - Left & right wing Ben Arfa - Attacking midfielder/left wing Obertan - Right wing/right forward Other then that I agree with the rest. This is only my perception btw, before anyone feel the need to slag me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Obertan definitely plays on the left Played on the right a fair bit for Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Obertan definitely plays on the left He has the genuine pace to beat a FB without needing to cut inside. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the RW or at least the right side of a front 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All his 'not all footballers are stupid #ridiculouslylonghashtagfornoreason comments are getting a bit boring. Still love the man though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To perpetuate said myth Walt Disney personally threw handfuls of them over a cliff and clapped with glee as they tumbled to their watery death. Its true (well, sort of), watch 'White Wilderness'.
