Mole_Toonfan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I played Ben Arfa on the right side of a 4-4-2 on Fifa and smashed the Mackems 7-1....... Come on Pardew you know it makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If Cisse isn't fit just go back to 4-5-1. Solves the Guthrie problem too. Guthrie Tiote Cabaye Ben Arfa Gutierrez Ba Not that we would ever go with that like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 More importantly, it looks like he won't be starting on Saturday. Really disappointing if that turns out to be the case, will be gutted if he moves on in the summer without getting a fair crack. I'm all for Sad Taylor being a cult hero after the goal against the Mackems, but honestly having him starting ahead of a talent like Ben Arfa is an absolute disgrace. This game would have been perfect for him to get a shot starting on the right, nobody will ever convince me that Taylor starting is the right move here, even if he goes out and scores a belter and has a great game. There's something we don't know about going on, has to be. I agree with every word in your post. I look forward to going to see flair players and the thought of having to watch Ryan Taylor is mind numbing. At least when he's covering for an injury you can justify him getting a game, in this instance you can't. also agreed interesting point that barely readable post from tunisia makes though - how much longer will HBA keep his mouth shut and his head down? past history suggests not much longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 yep, i'm expecting him away like - fee would be interesting, we paid in the region of 5m for him with a broken leg iirc, can see MA wanting to play hardball on that and looking for >10m please not fucking spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 4-3-3 fucking solves the problem with Cab-Guthrie in CM and Tiote holding. HBA and Ba playing "outside" with Cisse holding the center role up top. Fluid, dynamic and probably use of the best attacking talent we have. FM-style throw Jonas at LB and Santon at RB and sorted. I'm hoping HBA gets the start soon...but we've been saying that all season, every fucking week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping HBA gets the start soon...but we've been saying that all season, every f***ing week guthrie gives less defensivly than ben arfa. the ideal as i see it is tiote central, cabaye central right, an other central left, ba ,cisse up front, ben arfa as a beardsley style bomb.

That HBA has been asked to remain patient, he is a big part of AP's plans, but we need to sign a proper full back and another centre midfielder first. Qualify for the Europa and I'd like to hope he'd stay, would get plenty of games next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I want this young exciting piece of player to succeed as much as anyone else. But what has hit me lately, he seems to have a professional mind when he plays instead of that playfull one he had earlier. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
