Hatem Ben Arfa

[relámpago blanco]

Shame he's the only player in the club who raises the heart-rate. The rest send me to sleep, so slow and predictable.

 

If Sissokho can improve his end product and do more of his powerful runs it will be exciting, so quick at times just needs to start scoring /creating from them

I thought he was injured?

tiote raises my heart rate when he has the ball on the edge of our box.

Me too, it's properly nerve-wracking.

Yeah it's quite the rush - I still think there's a good player there somewhere with Tiote

He's the best player that we've had under the worst manager that we've had. He has some faults, but I absolutely adore him tbh, he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He's exactly the reason I watch football and always will be. The thought of him under Robson is both mouth-watering and thoroughly depressing.

very much doubt robson would've bought him tbh. whether he could've made something else out of him had he been an inherited player, who knows ?

Why?

bother at other clubs and gives the ball away too much.

I thought you were talking about Tiote

Very strange perception that.

[Dinho lad]

I don't think he's been that much bother at other clubs as well, tbh.

Agree. Robson would have been in there like swimwear. He bought Robert who was infuriating at times, and also loads of young players that were known as trouble.

I always thought Pardew did a great job with HBA.

 

Whatever, f*** Pardew!

Yeah it's quite the rush - I still think there's a good player there somewhere with Tiote

 

Same, but if that good player doesn't show himself this season I'll lose any faith in him.

i'm not sure it's entirely up to him.

I think he's being asked to do to much and also our style does not help. If he's bad this season then agree we should just sell, although I would rather get rid of Pardew and see what would happen if pressure was off him a bit.

i think he's been sussed. everyone knows to pressure him when in possession as his possession play is poor.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I doubt Tiote is still being asked to do too much. Pardew is a bit dense but I doubt he wants him to keep giving the ball away all the time.

I meant that we invite too much pressure and there are never really options for him to play to, so he tries to retain it / play sloppy balls back to defence. I think it comes down to the movement around him. Put him in a team better at retaining ball and would look totally different imho

I think Robson and even Kegan would have wanted Hatem to waste less time and pass it more often to his team mates than telling him to go and take the whole opposing team on his own.

 

Robson used to get frustrated with Laurent Robert sometimes for similar reasons to Hatem even though the latter is more wasteful at times.

 

Imagine Hatem Ben Arfa under Grahame Souness

[DJ_NUFC]

Both KK and SBR would not only have signed him, they'd have built a team around him and got the best out of him, a la Bale and Cronaldo.

 

Just our luck we have a manager who didn't even put him on until he proved he was better than Obertan / Shola on the wing by scoring wondergoals as a sub.

[Mr. Snrub]

Keegan and Sir Bobby never built a team around one person though.

 

They were excellent managers and knew how to maintain a good balance throughout the team, something Pardew isn't able to grasp.

Anybody see this? Sorry if Giggs:
