Dinho lad Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He certainly will have more of an impact when there's more movement going on around him, he needs space to operate as he seemingly doesn't go looking for the ball much. He will never be the type to really grab a game when the going gets tough though. Today you could really see we needed Ben Arfa type, who has so much confidence he will have a go at a team no matter the situation. Fair enough. Sometimes it's easy to forget that currently we've got no attacking plan or shape to us whatsoever. (Therefore it would be unfair to judge.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Why does it have to be a plan though? Surely they should be good enough to use their initiative in our attacking play. Because if we have no plan, we get the shambles of attacking play we got today. We don't attack as a team, no-one creates any movement for anyone else.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that currently we've got no attacking plan or shape to us whatsoever. (Therefore it would be unfair to judge.) It's not completely unfair to judge as we've seen his character. I agree with you that he's not a match winner in our current set up, he just doesn't have the level of aggression in a side that's so static and low on confidence. He is however, a very talented attacking midfielder (he's a definite starter when everone's fit IMO) who will thrive with some form of attacking plan, and some better players around him too.

MyPalAl Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Should never have been taken off today. Changed the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thought he looked class today too, cracking break through the middle and turn of pace in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Class player, I thought he looked really good today and along with Cabaye was our best player. Has great movement and creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Should never come off at home to shite teams unless it's massively obvious we've killed the other team off. They were scared of him, you could see they were happier to push up when he went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Bloke behind me criticises absolutely everything he does and I mean everything - even when he does something really good, the bloke says he hasn't done it in the right way.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There was this mint control he did near the centre circle, killed the long ball and turned away from the player He played well and it is a disgrace that he was taken off BUT he sums Pardew up Get Ben Arfa to the right of him and someone competent down the left (new signing) and we will look a different side going forward. OR we could just stick with the shite Jonas and Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 By the sounds of it he tried doing a Mancini where he'd put someone like De Jong on for a forward to give Yaya Toure more licence to get forward. Epic fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
