Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I was 100% sure I wasn't gay until today, but after experiencing that amazing goal at st James' today I would happily let Ben Arfa teach me a lesson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 looking forward to hearing the radio commentary of his goal tomorrow. really thought he should have done a somersault when breaking into the box for his goal, just something to try and make it a little less ordinary.

Dave Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 After watching it a few more times on repeat, I don't think enough was made on MOTD of the little flick to get by the final two defenders. Sheer quality, he skins them before they're even there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elbee909 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 "I'm missing something here. The Ben Arfa goals was good, but magnificent? No. The defence was terrible, and he only actually passes 1 player" Yes, that from a Liverpool fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running at full pelt, and with just enough weight on it to beat the defenders but still leave him enough space in front of the goalkeeper for the finish. Marvellous.

M4 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thought he'd pushed it too far to finish at first and that he was going to shift it to Cissé. O ye, of little faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 His face when the slide comes in is hilarious like. His whole body seems to stop for a split-second, then he just hits another gear. The most talented player I've ever seen in black and white at St James'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpost.php?p=12319441&postcount=66 Just been talking to a mag mate (from Fencehouses, so a proper one ) about Ben Arfa after he said he would walk into our side. This is a lad who up until 6 weeks ago couldn't even get into their side. I don't know where he would go in our side either. He has only just started playing, well albeit, for the mags on the right of a front 3, with little responsibility. Our formation is set around Sessegnon, usually. Our 2 wide men work their arses off up and down the pitch, something which I very much doubt HBA would want to do. Our 2 central midfielders graft and close down, and our striker holds the ball up for Sess. Unless you would rather Ben Arfa over Sessegnon, I don't see where he would go in our team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running at full pelt, and with just enough weight on it to beat the defenders but still leave him enough space in front of the goalkeeper for the finish. Marvellous. It was an unbelievably good goal, for those that haven't seen it but got a smartphone, download the free ESPN Premier League app and you can see the highlights and goals 5mins after the final whistle. He made the Bolton players look like 8 year olds in a school playground, he had no right to do that in the PL. He ran straight up the middle of the pitch, getting faster, and faster, and faster, past 3 FOUR men, until his last touch which was absolutely inch perfect to put it between him and the keeper for him to poke it past him in his stride. Edit: Look VERY CLOSELY at his touch to take it between the two central defenders, running at almost FULL SPEED, he clips it up and over the challenge of the advancing centre back, into the the one spot on the whole pitch that was exactly the right distance between him and the keeper where he could knock it past while still in full stride. What a player. My word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The way he controls and redirects the ball at that speed is incredible to watch really, along with his speed of thought it makes him unstoppable at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
