Mick Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 You are fairly clueless about football for somebody who claims to be in his mid 40's. Ben Arfa did very little wrong yesterday apart from giving away a free kick for going in too high with his foot up around waist height and another time when we cleared the ball from the centre of our defence and he couldn't control a ball with his chest. Other than that he played fairly well and took pressure off us when others around him were struggling after Monday night’s game. What about the time when Ba was in space and only needed to be slipped through to have a clear run on goal, instead of doing that Ben Arfa heheld on to it too long and tried to beat the fullback again before losing possession. What he'll find is if he doesn't start releasing the ball at the right time soon then our players will stop making those runs, we've seen that with unpredictable players here in the past. He had a split second, and that's all it was to try and bend a ball between two defenders. Ba had a Distin between him and Ben Arfa and Ben Arfa had the fullback next to him so the gap was tiny, he also had McFadden closing him down.

Mick Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 So instead of looking for Ba he tried to beat the defender again and lost it. Brilliant ball retention that. Both Ben Arfa and Ba had been doubled up on by the time Ben Arfa lost the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 So instead of looking for Ba he tried to beat the defender again and lost it. Brilliant ball retention that. You underestimate the lad's intelligence : He was looking for Ba and when he tried to beat the last defender, he was still looking for Ba and the perfect pass. He failed and will fail again in similar situations. But when it succeeds, and it will, you just sit on your sofa and appreciate how pure pleasure football is Exactly, I don't mind him losing the ball like that, he's always thinking and looking for options. He very rarely loses the ball because of aimless running or an incorrect decision, sometimes he just tries things that don't work. When he takes a couple of defenders out of the game and puts Ba in for a goal, we'll be going mental over him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially there is fuck all to talk about at the moment, so I don't know how you're managing to generate so much discussion.

Ba had a Distin between him and Ben Arfa and Ben Arfa had the fullback next to him so the gap was tiny, he also had McFadden closing him down. Mick, Ba was not only unmarked when HBA picked the ball up but he had plenty of space to run in to with only the keeper between him and the goal if it was played early enough, he delayed it far too long and ended up losing it. Talented played when it usually comes to beating a man but I'm doubting the lads got a footballing brain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
