If only Habib Beye wasn't so greedy...

Thing is, most the time he's clearing it off the line because he was in the wrong position in the first place. I'll give him the one tonight though. Was quick to read the situation

Can it really be the wrong position though, if it has saved us a goal? strikes me as exceptional positioning.

Couldn't cope with Hoilett when he switched over onto the right in the first half, although Ben Arfa didn't give him much help. Did much better in the second half :thup:

All his clearances were  from set pieces where he's instructed to stand on the line in the first place, so accusations of "poor positioning" don't make any sense at all really.l

 

He's doing his job.

Can't cross, can't tackle, can't put pressure on people and stands off instead, can't pass and can't go past his man.

 

He's usually decent poisitioning wise and has a habit of being "in the way", but that's about it. I'd play RT ahead of him. Won't happen though, but I think Pardew himself wants an upgrade on this position.

It was never a penalty in a million years as far as iam concerned , as said before he's solid in defence majority of the team its just frustrating to see him in possession or going forward because he's very average at it indeed.

 

Anyway i hope he stays, i dont think he's good enough first choice in the long term but like Obertan iam more than happy enough for him to be a squad member.

 

Whether he accepts that or not remains to be seen.
