Jayson Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Need a big performance from this lad tonight if we're to get something. His position is possibly the only real weaklink in their side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schmuck Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 When NUFC have the lead and he has the ball at his feet it feels like there is something very, very right with the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 His work rate once again was top notch today. Great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 whats the point replacing it with obertan.. he doesn't even fooking defend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 whats the point replacing it with obertan.. he doesn't even fooking defend Pace when we badly needed to break. HBA was very deep by this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 whats the point replacing it with obertan.. he doesn't even fooking defend And when he has the chance to run with it, which is the job when you come on in the role he had, he just doesn't do it, i think 4 times he just kicked anywhere. He is just a poor player. Edit : Obertan i mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Who tried to clatter him from behind only for him to stop them dead with his arse and then keck and then carry on searing up theiddle. Classy as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Didn't mind him being replaced so he's fresh for sunday, not like we were going to score again anyway...oh wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Didn't see a huge amount of the ball but when he did, he was economical and posed a threat, they were really scared of him. Testament to the lad that even when it's not going his way in terms of getting his foot on it, he's still seen fighting it out at the corner flag in the 80th minute. Fantastic player and just a joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Terrific first half, worked his arse off and scared the Chelsea defenders. Like I said in the match thread, Bertrand should have been sent off around the 50 minute mark for his tackle on Hatem, when Hatem has turned you like that, that's denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Ameritoon Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Who tried to clatter him from behind only for him to stop them dead with his arse and then keck and then carry on searing up theiddle. Classy as. Ramires, was excellent use of his body from HBA. Commentator said some nonsense that Pardew was subbing him off to get more defensive work since he wouldn't do it, such shit, he was working his ass off the entire game. Clearly just wanted some fresh legs and pace to go on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just me or did they allways have 3 around him when in an offensive position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 No problem at all with him coming off like that, we need our best players as fresh as possible in these last few/couple of games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 He played well- great defensive shift and troubled them in the first half, players are really scared of getting close to him. I love those cross field balls he plays too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Good that he showed he can play in games that we want to keep it tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 No problem at all with him coming off like that, we need our best players as fresh as possible in these last few/couple of games I hate it when we take off Ben Arfa, because I love watching him so much, but it was probably the right decision.

AlanSkÃrare Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 When he gets tired his decisionmaking gets worse. Started dribbling when he wasn't supposed to towards the end, but his pressure on the ball and his running was almost Jonas-esque. Pardew deserves massive credit for turning him into a better player. There will be games when he has to put these shifts in, but if we control games to a greater extent we can let him flourish in the last third.
