Ishmael Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I agree that he isn't getting enough of the ball. It's something the entire side needs to work on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Back to the bench for next week please. Nope. It can't be disputed that we were a lot better when we played a 4-4-2. Either play him on the wing or bench him. He'll do a lot better next week when we have more of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Pathetic that he hasn't scored or assisted against Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea. No chance he'll be more effective against Norwich, Swansea or West Brom. Transfer list the cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'd start him again. Me too, on the wing instead of Obertan the wankstain. Doesn't show or have enough of the ball in current position and our shape is better with à 442. There he would get the ball really often by just staying out on the wing. Obertan FFS!

Jayson Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Realistically he hasnt been that great. Shola did more than him today. Im a fan, but its obvious as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'd start him again. Me too. Will be interesting to see how he plays against a lesser team, with more space and more attacking from us, more than likely. Not really too concerned with his performances so far, it was always going to take a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 We played 3 of last seasons top 4, so I won't be judging anyone in those games. It's performances against the lesser sides, the teams we should be beating that will make or break the likes of Ben Arfa. Ba and Ben Arfa up front should be terrifying to other sides.

He wasn't great, yes, but 'bad, bad game' can be reserved for some of the other players who were p*ss-poor for the entire match, not just quiet for the first half.

Yorkie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If he's putting a performance like today's on a regular basis in a year's time, i'll be pretty concerned. Until then, one bad game against three of the league's best sides, i can forgive him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toondra Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 in 45 minutes the question is why he doesn't get the ball enough as a playmaker? at one moment simpson was in the right, he was next to him and prefer go alone he must have touched 6 balls during all the half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote is the key if ben arfa plays 10 But he was invisible not bad because less ball for him >> kick and rush Why pardew want not play ben arfa in the wing (obertan is bad) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 He should stop trying to play his way out of trouble and just fucking run directly at the defence (like v Everton), that's when he's most effective.

Until then, one bad game against three of the league's best sides, i can forgive him. Chelsea aren't one of the league's best sides. They've got a disfunctional midfield and a pedestrian defence. He looks like a £5m player to be honest; technically gifted but not somebody to build the team around. Best will walk back into the attack alongside Ba when fit.
