Guest Heneage Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 He's certainly better than Ameobi, I hope no-one is disputing that My mother is better than Ameobi man. What about Demba Ba? Is he better/worse than your mother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 He doesn't merit a starting line up... I go with 4-5-1 will Ba as a lone striker and keep Harris in his position... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he better/worse than your mother? After a spectacularly shit start to his NUFC career i have to concede that Demba ba is better than my mother and is the best centre forward we've had since the 1996/97 version of Alan Shearer.

Guest andrew Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sorry but I don't see anything in this guy. Works hard maybe, but he has no technical skills at all. He slows everything up too, how hes ahead of someone like Ben Arfa who is everything he can never be gets me every time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 He's looking about as toothless as he did in the Championship. I like him but he's offering absolutely sweet FA atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAO: Nessy123 (I'd like to see more of HBA and I don't think Best is playing all that well right now - it just looks as though Ba has more time/space when there's Shola or Best alongside him) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Best was playing well earlier this season, worked hard, won headers and worked as part of the team. Now looks like he's desperate to score and it's costing us because he's putting himself before the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I think Best's recent poor form is all down to confidence really. He usually has a decent touch but today he was poor in all aspects (he did have one good moment when he got past the defender on the wing in the second half). Guess it's the case that if Best goes on a prolonged run without scoring, then he's simply not a confident player. Due to his poor form, has to be dropped to the bench really.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Was utter gash against Swansea but I figured that might be sharpness or lack of post injury. He's been dogshite in the last two games as well which is disappointing as Ben Arfa is pushing strong for a start and he must realise that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Best is decent back up, he should never be first choice. In a nutshell. Would like him as 4th choice striker, and would keep him and sell Shola if possible. He'll work hard and put himself about and is always somewhat of a threat to grab a goal. Not enough talent to be first choice for a Premiership team though, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really, just looks very affected by confidence. Today he had a clear chance to shoot and he could barely control it before passing to Obertan when he was offside, really poor. Big contrast to the player who swivelled on the ball with ease to score against Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 who was he pissed off with when he cam off? himself hopefully. maybe he didn't like that the fans chanted for Ben Arfa and he was taken off for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 IMO Best has over performed for the beginning of the season and now we should be looking to move himself (and Shola) down the pecking order with the arrival of a new striker who is of a closer standard to Ba, as should have been done with in the summer. Best should never be more than a squad player here IMO as his basic abilities just aren't of top level of Prem standard, he is and will continue to be though a good squad member.

I said start of season he should be maximum of 3rd choice but ahead of Shola and Lovenkrands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 does his bit, but ultimately that'll never be consistently good enough for a top 7 team, should be 4th choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Just finished watching the Bolton game for the first time. Got to say Leon was downright terrible, worried as hell for ACN if we are relying on him to lead the line. I don't recall one single thing in the game that he did right. How he's keeping HBA out of the starting line up is a mystery to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 im still a fan of Best, maybe its just me but don't think he had a bad game yet apart from vs bolton. yes he hasnt scored but he so good at making that ball stick. think he change alot of peoples minds when Ba leaves for ACON, having someone like Barfa behind Best will bring the best out of both of them i beleive. keep the faith, hope we dont start booing him like we do to obertan, pointless.
