ponsaelius Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 He'd have no impact today. Spurs are masterful tonight, if anything we need better defensive players, not offensive ones. Fantastically rubbish post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ben Arfa is one of our better players that isnt in danger of being snapped up by other clubs this summer, not as much as the likes of Tiote and Ba anyway, and yet he'll probably be one of the first out the door. What sickens me more is he is being sold while the likes of Obertan stay and start. Pardew hasn't even given Ben Arfa a proper run out on the right of midfield either which makes this even more bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Since Colocho and Wireside have left my ignore list is effectively empty. Keep pushing James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can understand not starting him tonight, given our centre mid playing someone who works a bit more has its merits, I can understand not bringing him on when the game is all but lost. I'll be fucking livid if he doesn't start, injuries permitting, from now till the end of the season with tote and Cabaye back and I don't care if he plays left or right.

Obertan is not that player though. There is merit in starting Raylor for those reasons, certainly. But with him out should have been Benny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 No way is he staying next season and this situation is ridiculous. He can do things that Obertan, Raylor and Perch could never even dream of. Blatantly gone and i doubt they'll even be bothered about a profit.

SiLvOR Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The situation is beyond baffling for me. If you wanted someone to watch Bale tonight, Jonas was your man, not Obertan. This opens the door for Ben Arfa to have a go at LW and cause some problems. Instead Pardew bottles it and goes with what he thinks is the safe option in Obertan. Who, for me was at fault for several goals today if his role was indeed to track the LB/LW of Spurs. So half time was the chance to rectify this, we're 4-0 down, may aswell throw the guy on and see if we can salvage some respect. Instead he goes for someone who's far less experienced and in my eyes not as talented in Shane Fergusson, (who I do like and rate btw). Finally, at 5-0 down and nothing to lose, the decision is made to bring on Gosling. Just cannot understand this at all. My last glimmer of hope is that Pardew wants to wait until Tiote and Cabaye are back so Ben Arfa can truly have a free role and not worry about defending, however I can't see it happening and as such can't see Ben Arfa lasting here. Which is a massive, massive disappointment for me. End of rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think tonight and the return of Tiote and Cabaye, two home games gets Ben arfa the chance to play with forwards making runs, those are two massive games for his time here.

NEEJ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If he doesn't start the next match then that's it for him here, there's no hope for the lad. Utterly puzzling stuff and extremely frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Twice he's been hauled off at half time not to be seen again for ages. Now this has happened to Obertan today. We'll see if the double standards continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
