SEMTEX Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The lady will not be pleased. I bought her a Ben Arfa 37 shirt and she's never seen him play. At the same time I got myself a Tiote shirt. She watched Tiote bang in the equalizer vs Arsenal. I think she thinks I'm taking the piss and I bought her a dud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sessegnon's a good player, I'd put him in the Zog level but he's in the league below HBA and could only dream of putting in the kind of performance we saw against Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I agree that Zog's a better player overall but they're in that same bracket/level of ability. Both good with the ball at their feet, decent passers and crossers and can get a couple of goals (this is where Zog's better). HBA on the other hand, is a complete step above, he has the potential to be a top, top player. His acceleration, ball control and passing were just outstanding against Everton, I still watch that video quite a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other times have you seen Ben Arfa play? I'd say a good 25-30 times now, watched various games when he was at Lyon and Marseille both league and European competition. Put in some great performances but some average ones as well, hopefully we can get that consistency out of him. Ability wise, i'd say that he's a step up on Sessegnon, who's a good attacking player but doesn't have the stand out attacking qualities HBA possesses.

I agree with most of what you are saying, but in terms of end product (in Ligue 1 anyway) there isn't a lot between them. Sessegnon is a very underrated player.

In terms of end product, you're spot on, there isn't. I just feel that in terms of ability, in its rawest sense, HBA is in that league above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
