pedro111 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I like how he is relaxing more on the ball now he knows his place in the team is secure and it is producing better end results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 When he did that back heel pass just after our second goal you could tell he was really enjoying himself. The whole team was for that matter, the confidence we showed at times was great to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he tried to mimic our formation shoe horning the players he had in to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he tried to mimic our formation shoe horning the players he had in to it. I thought Dalglish had it spot on with his starting 4-3-3 and Bellamy and Suarez to terrorise us. They got a lot of crosses in, especially from the right, but for some reason they started to try and force it through the middle in the second half.

Nobody Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Pretty much won us the last two games by creating five goals in them, what a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hatem's A Hero For Pardew By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter Alan Pardew believes he could now play Hatem Ben Arfa anywhere in Newcastle United's side, revealing 'the penny has dropped' with the French forward. Ben Arfa has been outstanding in recent weeks as the Magpies have recorded three successive victories over Norwich, West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool. Against the Reds on Sunday, the former Marseille man was instrumental in a 2-0 win, constantly tormenting the visitors' defence and having a hand in both of Papiss Cisse's goals. And Pardew explained that Ben Arfa - who has had to be patient for a regular run in the starting line-up - is now fully adapted to life in the Premier League. "I am very pleased. When you have a player who has a special talent, sometimes they look at you as a manager and they want to play," said the boss. "He wasn't fit. He had worked really, really hard, but he wasn't actually match-fit. He was fit, but not match-fit, not really sure of how we played and in the Premier League, the transition of play, where he should be and where he shouldn't be. "He has taken on board and he has listened to me and he as listened to my staff and he has been very, very diligent. "I was quite confident that the penny would drop. I know it's an old-fashioned cliche, but I think it probably has with Hatem. "Now I could actually put him anywhere on the pitch and he would know what to do." And with Euro 2012 on the horizon, Pardew believes Les Bleus could do a lot worse than taking a look at the eight-times-capped forward for their squad. "That's why nothing would give me more pleasure than for him to make the French squad, and I think he can," said Pardew. "He has got some individual ability that I would be very surprised if France has that in the squad in terms of what he can do to a team. "Even if he was to be taken as an impact player, he's got a great opportunity and he is in great shape." http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120402/hatems-a-hero-for-pardew_2281670_2709498 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 When you are watching on television and when he gets the ball, you can just feel our crowd and hear them sort of collectively urge him to destroy his man and run with it - sort of go on son. Its fucking brilliant to watch and hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The way the crowd encourage this guy every time he gets the ball is brilliant like, we havent had a player who can excite the crowd quite like he can, in a long time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
