BlueStar Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Best bit was when someone tried to foul him and just bounced off his titanium ankles. Could easily have gone to ground and got and free kick but it just seemed to make him faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Aye. At times i think he must be as strong as an ox, but i think he's just got absolutely supreme balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've never seen a goal where a player has ran 70 yards in a straight line through four or five challenges to score. He's special. The Blackburn goal was better, btw. I was behind both in the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The Blackburn goal was better, but because it was the FA Cup third round and only seen by one ITV camera man it doesn't count. This was pretty special though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mimifrench Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Really don't know how much you pay for him but... definitely a great deal. Main reason I'm chuffed for Ben arfa and his success is that it will shut the mouth of many people here (France) who has always criticised him. One of his coach in Lyon (Gérard Houiller) said a long time ago that he will reach his maturity and become the great player he has to be around 25 years old, seems it's happening now and you are the lucky club which have him. I've seen you compared him to Robben or Messi but I truly believe he doesn't look like them in terms of style of play mainly. He has his own style and he's unique considering his amazing acceleration, ball control and vision of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, whatever we paid for him is looking like a massive bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mimifrench Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 On a video on YT showing the reaction snapshot (not sure if we're allowed to post it), an English journalist asked Ciddé which goal was better : his or Ben arfa's one. And Cabaye called him a "different class player" and said they were lucky to have him (HBA) on the team. Also nice to see he's appreciated by his team-mates, and that he's not the trouble maker some people want us to believe... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
