HawK Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I was expecting Maradona 1986. Other than the nice first touch, he just ran very fast in a straight line. >.< Just no. You're not looking close enough at the last part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Philippe Auclair @PhilippeAuclair HBA's place in Blanc's 23 by no means assured. Incomprehensible seen from England, but Blanc tends to stick to 'his' players. Only 50/50. Surely he has to be in the French squad for the Euros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I was expecting Maradona 1986. Other than the nice first touch, he just ran very fast in a straight line. Firstly, there was a lovely bit of skill to turn his man in our half. After that each knock of the ball was weighted perfectly to take him past his man but keep it out of the way of the Bolton players. From a simple perspective it looks like a straight line run, but moving that fast and knocking the ball perfectly forward a few times and finishing is very tough. The last knock on was brilliant to take him beyond the defence and in front of the keeper. It's certainly not a Maradona one, that was better than this but it's got its place as a great goal for us and this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Obviously that goal was simply down to Pardew's great man management of Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Love how good he's getting at resisting and even giving out the shoulder barges. And I don't mind his goal either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Also Bolton should have had 2 players booked for lunges on him during the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Unbelievable! he is typical "Cutting Edge" Player. He will score when team need to score badly. A bit selfish player from few people point of view. But that's what u need to get victory. The borderline between selfishness or just try as hard as maximum as you can do is very thin. If u fail you just selfish fucker if you win you are the greatest hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u fail you just selfish f***er if you win you are the greatest hero. While he can be selfish he has also been responsible for some lovely assists, he's not really a selfish player, he improves the team being in it. It's more if he drifts off but he seems to have got much better at not doing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The goal is up on 101greatgoals with South American commentary. Seriously didn't think it could be better than in real time, but the commentary adds a little icing to a very tasty cake Arabic* Anyway, such a player. Hope he'll stay here for a very long time.
