Guest firetotheworks Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Economical is a very good word to describe Hazard imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how Hatem has gone from being the one who lacked preseason training most to the fittest man in the team in the space of a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 even though we're losing i smile and giggle like a right retard everytime this little wizard is on the ball. for me, he is what football is all about. pace, trickery , just the freedom to do whatever you like with the ball. he is the most exciting player i have ever witnessed in black and white.

SMTW Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Love how he can beat a man without touching the ball. There was a point in the match today when he had the ball in our own box, he just dropped his shoulder and the player was off chasing shadows. Meanwhile Ben Arfa stood still with the ball at his feet. Such a classy act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I was actually disappointed with him today and wonder whether he will ever truly be our main man if you like. In the first-half he was more involved in a restricted wide role than he was in the second-half where he was roaming or playing more advanced up the pitch. It is games like this and opponents like this where players with Ben Arfa's ability should drag his team into the game more as he did against Spurs. Mind, even in his more free and advanced role in the second-half, you could clearly hear Pardew barking restrictive instructions like pass, hold it, leave it etc. When he was screamed at to pass, he ignored Pardew and went on a mazy run winning a free-kick when fouled. Ben Arfa is a special talent that needs no instructing and no restrictions. He is a willingly hard worker anyway off the ball because he is like a kid who just wants the ball at his feet and the only way to get that ball is to win it back or help the team win it back. He needs a free role and encouraged at all times to get at his man, to weave his magic. Only then will he truly fulfil his potential and be our main man if you like. I doubt Mata or Hazard are told to hold it or to pass when on the ball. I can sort of understand why Pardew is like that but he needs to let go himself and trust Ben Arfa because when he has that ball at his feet, there is fucking no-one who knows better than him with what to do with it. Ben Arfa in a semi-restricted role as is will get 10 plus goals and 10 plus assists easily. An unrestricted free spirited Ben Arfa could get 20 plus goals and 20 plus assists easily. Pardew is doing to him what Fergie has done to Rooney, taking the edge off him. He can afford that, can we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
