Hatem Ben Arfa

I think Ba's more effective ghosting into the box. Ben Arfa being there places far too much focus on him.

 

We need someone who can play higher up the park than Ba, and do the donkey work when necessary. Best generally makes a good fist of this, plus he's far more of a goalscoring threat than HBA.

 

Do you think Carroll and Ba would have worked?

Best plays completely different to Carroll though, he'll pop up wide, drop deeper, etc. Asking Carroll to do that would be a waste of his stengths.

I don't agree. Carroll was often very effective for us dropping deeper to win the ball and turn it into possession.

 

Plus, Best very rarely drops deeper than Ba.

 

Difference was though, Carroll was the main man. Regardless whether we think Best is playing a similar role or not, Ba is the main striker now. I just don't think they'd have worked. Best and Ba works to a certain extent because I think Best is more willing to do more of the donkey work to help create stuff and make space for Ba. I doubt Carroll would/could do that.

I don't even think it's a valid discussion to be honest. Carroll is completely irrelevant now.

 

Ba is only the main striker because he's getting more goals, and Best to a large extent facilitates that with his selflessness and his threat in the box.

Does seem bizarre that Pardew's patience with Obertan/Raylor/Simpson seems to be endless but HBA gets dropped after a pretty anonymous 45 minutes against one of the better sides in the league :lol:

Mascherano example  :cheesy: pardew :idiot2: i don't understand why

For best why not but shola and obertan :kasper:
