When he's on top form you got to double mark him. WHam did just that a few weeks back at SJP but Villa didn't yesterday and were punished. Also you got to defend deep because he just loves the space between the fullback and goalline, when he's not cutting inside.

For our second goal they tried doubling up on him but he still got his shot away. He's just unplayable at times.

against west ham he played more midfield. yesterday he was much further forward.

I have a feeling some poor full back's gonna show him far too much outside soon and he'll rattle one in the corner with his right.

 

That Villa goal last season  :megusta:

 

Hansen last night just saying "just show him on his right" some of these guys just have no idea how good he is do they. Far easier said than done.

 

 

EDIT* on and it didn't make any of the highlights but there was a cross with his right foot yesterday in the 2nd half right infront of us away fans that was absolutely brilliant. Between defenders and goalkeeper, was perfect but Cisse wasn't close enough to attack it unfortunately.

That Alan Hansen comment on MoTD was impertinent tbh - "just show him outside". His left is obviously his stronger foot, but his turn of pace/explosion is so good that he can still hurt you from the byline tbh - and probably have time to come back on to his left once he's got round you.

Shearer was right though, you may know what he's gonna do but stopping him doing it is a completely different thing.

Exactly, see Robben.

Not entirely the case here though, Ben Arfa still takes players down the outside enough to put the element of doubt in their mind. He beat Luna to the byline a few times yesterday and put crosses in with his right.

Oh yeah i know that, just saying even if you know what Hatem is going to do its still difficult to stop him.

 

At least when he's playing that far up the pitch.

Yeah if they had actually bothered to show proper highlights they would have seen he went down the line on his right foot atleast a couple of times to put the doubt in the defenders mind. Doubt the MOTD pundits even watch more than the crappy edit that bbc put together.
