Its not really effective for him in a sense but i think it gives more space and freedom to others. Something to use on occasion like this where we could get outnumbered otherwise but not a every week thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I don't think he was expected to do much, if that makes any sense. The system was designed to get the best out of everyone else, then Pardew included HBA instead of Cisse because of his ability to move around and create things from nothing.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 At times it seemed like he was choosing to be shit. Poor performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 He has massive ups and massive downs, he is that sort of person and player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 MUST play against the great unwashed. Will rip them to shreds on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Best when he's tanking full speed at the full backs. 9/10 he leaves them for dead and cuts into box, shoots or sets someone up. Need to get him playing there before he loses his form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cisse had been that anonymous he would have been called worse than shit. Not HBA's fault though, he isn't a centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I would say he was average - I wouldn't say he was poor. To be fair when he's performed poorly recently he's been out of position. As a false nine - or bafflingly on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Didn't play very well, but looked as if he was growing into the position before we went down to ten. Wanted to do too much when he saw the ball after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 :rant:Scratching my head about this fella. There are times every pass and dribble works...then there are times like the last 3 times he's played where nothing works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's his decision making that seems to be not right. Still love him and always will, he'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Having seen Ben Arfa play on the right wing and through the middle I'd always play him on the right wing. He just seems to be more productive when cutting in from the right. He has less players to take on when he is on the right. If Ben Arfa is played on the wing we should have someone cover for him when he goes forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Playing there against Anzhi didnt work and it didnt work today either. Get him on the wing against Bardsley and he'll cause delicious damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Didn't look comfortable in the role today, thinking too much. It really helped us having someone up top who could retain possession though, not averse to him getting a few more goes up top to see if he gets the hang of it.

Not sure TBH, I thought Remy and Gouff were doing well in their positions. In a way Ben Arfa was sacrificed for the good of the team as a whole.
