Mick Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Where was he for the first 15-20mins of the second half? Cracking goal He was playing wider than the first half which was down to instructions at a guess, the same as Jonas who had played an excellent first 45.

CPL Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 When he scored to make it 4-2 his body language was excellent he still thought that the game could be saved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Where was he for the first 15-20mins of the second half? You know that slight feeling of embarrassment you got when you typed that out? Should listen to that feeling more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least gave an effort and got a goal + assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should listen to that feeling more often. we're supposed to be discussing the individual player on their thread (see the Ameobi thread for clarification), he went missing at the start of the second half - Mick made a reasoned point, unlike yourself.

Top bombing. i'm guessing he's so shit scared to veer away from pardews tactics that he stayed wide instead of trying to look for the ball. if he wanders he's likely to end up on the bench again.

Stu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I thought him and Jonas would have been given a bit more freedom to switch, given the success of it last week and Jonas in the first half (and second). Seems odd if HBA has been singled out for not sticking to his wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't wander infield much until Taylor came on so more than possible. Got an assist (albeit nowt special) when he did though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We've found his position. Who would have thought it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We've found his position. Who would have thought it? I'm still to see him put a decent cross in though - not that the previous incumbent of the right wing was doing that on a semi-frequent basis would like to see him cut in and shoot a bit more often, will free up more space for him to get to the byline and drill it across/pull back for Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Great goal today. Decent enough performance. Wish he had more of the ball today mind, looked as if he didn't see much of it in the second half (final 10 minutes aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Love the guy, but he needs movement around him. The movement off the ball today was very poor in general. With HBA playing with Ba and Cisse we will be sexual to watch. I thought we could have used him on the left today to provide width - Fulham quickly realised that all our wide players needed to cut inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I was pretty much front row next to the tunnel, he more than anyone looked like he was loving the fans and appreciating how much he's loved, particularly before kick off but even at full time. Only a little thing but it was nice to see. Top class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 3 goals and 3 assists in the 7 or so games* he's played in the Prem and FA Cup this season. Overrated. (6 Prem - 540 minutes according to FF - including a more-than-healthy spattering of 15 minute appearances across the season. Works out to about 6 games. 1 FA Cup - Blackburn - where he played the full 90, I think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 only caught the end of the game and am watching the extended highlights of the game now but wow this guy is good. How many times did he nutmeg the opponent today? i counted about 3 times in the final 15mins that i saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Not only is he clearly brilliant his stats here back it up. Goals and assist ratio compared to games started is very impressive.

Guest optimistic nit Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 have to say, as poor as we were at times today, some of the link ups between jonas and ben arfa were very good. fulham couldn't tackle either today, with a differernt strikeforce we would have been home and dry by half time.

Fulham were woeful in defence, which is what makes this result so irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
