Ikon Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Has to be our no:10! Him and Cabaye are our most intelligent players. What i love about him is how he evaluates his play. His decision making when to pass it simple and when to make the final ball/run is class. If he can stay injury free i would go as far and say that we should build our team around his strengths and not worry about his weaker sides defensively. Sissoko has done well there but i would rather see him making runs from a deeper position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 He's a very clever footballer who seems to thrive in tight situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Always been a big fan of his, especially in the more central role. Only question is whether he can do it consistently over a run of games, but hopefully he'll get the chance to show it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only question is whether he can do it consistently over a run of games, but hopefully he'll get the chance to show it now. only one way to find out and he deserves it, definitely grabbing his chance and would be massively harsh to drop him, even for HBA. Even Jonas has been playing well lately though so not sure who would be dropped for HBA. Saying that, it would be Jonas for me, but not sure what Pardew will do.

The College Dropout Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Has to be our no:10! Him and Cabaye are our most intelligent players. What i love about him is how he evaluates his play. His decision making when to pass it simple and when to make the final ball/run is class. This. Do worry about the injuries mind. He's almost 27 and he's played 60 less games than Steven Taylor in his career. Way less than Hatem Ben Arfa too. According to Wiki anyway. I also expect a dip in form in the near future. Don't think he's had a run of games like this in a very long time in his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that'll be an issue until next season really, HBA should be introduced slowly and just eased through until the end of the season.

Al Moody Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just remembering him sitting on the edge of the box pure blasé with cramp for the goal. He was all ''Yeah, what?''. Hope it was cramp and nothing serious anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 He was stretching his legs out not too long before he went down so I assume it was cramp. Went off with it on Thursday n all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Loving the Marv. One of my favourite players in terms of style. In my head, he's our Iniesta :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Should definitely have started today. Even if we were trying to contain them early, we still needed at least one creative outlet on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If we could keep him and Ben Arfa fit and find a more attack minded manager (I will defend him when I think he is getting unfair stick but I don't think he is perfect) then we could be some side. No idea how we would set up with Krul, Debuchy, MYM, Taylor, Santon/Haidara, Cabaye, Tiote, Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Gouffran and Cisse but I would like to find out.

SMTW Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Having two players on the pitch at the same time who can carry the ball and beat a man makes such a difference. A delight to watch to boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well, I don't mean now (otherwise Colo wouldn't be there either!). I just mean, when he looks less like he's detoxing from heroine and has his head screwed on right (and it hasn't for a while). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
