Pilko Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think Jonas was so poor today that instead of the usual grumbles when Obertan appears from the bench, the grumbles were at Jonas and his shit performance and Obertan was actually applauded and cheered onto the pitch by most for a change. Bet that helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Must help when he can watch Jonas lack penetration and pace for an hour before going on. He knows he's got pace and can focus on doing what Jonas doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 He did everything right. That chasing back before the goal was fantastic. Huge moment in the game. Played with the sort of confidence he's only shown in European games before. A major factor in today's victory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 End product wasn't that good, but the movement inside the box was even worse most of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Brilliant today. They couldn't stop him, and with better movement in the box it could have been REALLY good. Helped turn the game around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Good, positive display from Obertan. Some good spells of attacking play and some really good tracking back too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I must have missed all this like, apart from a decent bit of chasing back to win possession, he hardly touched the ball. Did have one opportunity to send Ba clear, and overhit a fairly easy pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 why do i still have a little faith in this lad? Dare I say it but I reckon a season at a championship club could do wonders for Obertan. Deep down, he's got raw attributes, regular competitive football could possibly lead us to seeing Obertan shine I reckon. Still not a total lost cause for me.

Did have one opportunity to send Ba clear, and overhit a fairly easy pass. I'm the same and he played right in front of me when he came on. He probably made 3 crosses which came to nothing and a couple of times he could have been away from his defender and slowed down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did have one opportunity to send Ba clear, and overhit a fairly easy pass. He benefitted hugely from replacing Jonas, Obertan was ok, he kicked the ball towards the box and didn't give it away easily because he was only on the pitch for 15 mins.

SiLvOR Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'll eat a slice of humble pie, just a slice mind. Seems to be more effective on the left for some reason and also looks okay when he doesn't have to think too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 He has a couple of outstanding attributes and has used them to good effect in the last couple of games. Good on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 He has a couple of outstanding attributes and has used them to good effect in the last couple of games. Good on him.

Pilko Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Better placed on the left, been class the last two games as a sub. I'd start him at the Emirates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I think he's one of the players in the squad (HBA, Cabaye, Cisse) that most benefits from 4-3-3. Obviously if Ba goes he needs to be replaced with a versatile attacker but I wouldn't be against seeing Obertan and Hatem either side of Papiss, especially away from home.

Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I think Marveaux's better suited to playing in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
