SMTW Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I didn't think he could endear himself to me anymore but then today he just amazes me again. Forget the goal, winning a corner off Bent's face from halfway deserves as much accolades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Love him so much Feared the worst when he cut inside and went onto his 'weaker' right foot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Love him so much Feared the worst when he cut inside and went onto his 'weaker' right foot... Aye he did this just before he scored, had me thinking 'Yeah you're great, but none of this cutting inside and shooting with your right from outside the box'. Unbelievable talent.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It may not, but this could have defenders even more shit scared in future games when they come up against him, it's hard enough trying to contain him when he's "so one footed".

Guest BooBoo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He's been literally the only bright spot of the five games so far and he's only played in three of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I remember when someone posted a line about him after we'd completed 1000 pages of his first thread. something about how his first coming would be good, his second (1000 pages) his best and then listed another two. The prophesy is as foretold. Even I, who has always thought he was an incredible talent, didn't expect him to be this good for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneytoon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Getting tired of all the Ben Arfa and Messi comparisons though. I mean the kid's good, REALLY good, but he's no Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spiria Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Ben Arfa just before the Spurs game : "he is not fit at all and has a knee injury." Ben Arfa after three matchs : 2 goals : one to win a game, one to draw and it was a beautiful one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Another great game. Christ it was only about 7 months ago that people used to shout at Benny and use him as a scapegoat whenever he used to lose the ball.

Guest ThievingMagpie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hatem has always been world class its just that he has issues and while they aren't apparent when he plays for us, as seen with France they are still there. His father ambushed his agent at the FFA meeting and was screaming about how he stole his son, etc. I can only guess that being away from his dad really helped him.

Pilko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He doesn't seem to lose the ball as often as he did at the start of last season, imo. I think Pardew's drilled into him that as well as tracking back, he needs to be a lot more economical with the ball - and he is, but without sacrificing any of the other elements of his game.

toptoon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He's been literally the only bright spot of the five games so far and he's only played in three of them. Agreed. Ba looks sharp though, is working hard and that goal against Spurs was pretty awesome, he's not getting much created for him. But Ben Arfa looks to be the only player we have who can create against our opposition. We need another one of him for the left hand side of a 433 and Ba and Cisse can battle it out for the striker spot. Cisse was sensational at the back end of last year but doesn't look all that sharp since the break. We definitely need more creativity from the left. It would be interesting to see young Campbell there and see if Sammy can do a job there also. Marveux is good in flashes but not convinced he's be better than Jonas. To think we could have got Hoilett or Johnson to play there really does frustrate me as along with Debuchy it really would have made us a force to be reckoned with in my opinion.
