Newcastle Fan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 What i really liked about him is how well he was using his strength, it was incredible seeing him winning every physical battle, and even using his body to assist his dribbles, don't see many players doing that.

SMTW Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Got the impression he had decided there was no way we were not winning that game. He just took it upon himself to make summit happen. We should keep trying that corner routine. If he gets running at a defender on the edge of the box like that they're going to drop their arse. They can either back off or bring him down like yesterday. I've ruled out tackling him as a feasible option. Saw it yesterday after the penalty they wouldn't get as tight to him on the next corner and he managed to fire a pass across goal. Also with Taylor back I'm expecting a few more goals from corners this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Saw him having a word with Tiote before the corner when the Spurs player was injured, presumably about what the plan was. Slightly egotistical plan like: "I'll take the corner, you pass it back to me, then I'll run past everyone into the box. If I win a penalty I'm taking it." Not complaining though.

M4 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Tioté was the first to come over to him seemingly laughing his head off as if the plan worked to perfection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Watched a HBA Newcastle compilation earlier, when put down like that he can literally do whatever the fuck he likes. He has the ability to put anyone (not just players) on their arse. If the camera panned around the stadium you would probably see some fans falling over as he goes on a jinking run.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 He seemed to have a broader involvement yesterday, he was really getting stuck in. He was nutmegged like, he's normally the one nuttmegging other people. He was pure class, I quite like how he fished for that penalty too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hoping to see him tear Villa apart in a few weeks, taking my lass to the game.

Tiresias Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Pards to Ben arfa: You know how last season i spent ages getting you to fit into our system Ben Arfa: yes boss Pards: You know what, screw that this season, fucking go for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I was saying yesterday, I wonder if that is now our fool proof way of scoring from corners. I noticed our approach of having 3 players in the box having a big cuddle for one corner, wondered whether that was the tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You just know if that is out perfect penalty the refs will get 'wise' to it and stop giving pens no matter how blatantly Ben Arfa is fouled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 If he doesn't get injured this season and plays most games, we are going to witness some pretty amazing football from this kid. Have only jumped online and have been skimming through the threads so I haven't read too far back in this one (so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned) but his cheeky back heel to Cabaye in the lead up to the goal was just incredible, took three Spurs men right out of the game in one action. Didn't think we looked brilliant yesterday but probably shaded it overall, but when we click into gear, we're gonna kill some teams this season.
