Gallowgate Toon Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If we continue to play with the same style and shape when he's back, he'll be a monster. He'll add a lot more threat in the final third with his short passing, vision and shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Probably see him next week then. Agree with you Gallowgate, if we can actually pass and move properly, Hatem will flourish even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It was nice to have a good season last year. Gonna try and remember it as best I can. Might just watch last years games each week instead of catching the live games. We will miss you hatem. :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Feck sake. Marveaux needs to start every game of the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He could miss 6 or 7 games if he's out for a month. Not including the 4 he missed before Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Lee Ryder @lee_ryder #nufc fear that Ben Arfa could tear his hamstring if risked in upcoming games against #qpr #mufc and #arsenal So it's basically a precaution that he is out for the next month. Anyone think it's worth the risk? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone think it's worth the risk? For QPR game maybe, no chance for the two aways that follow. Why not? He won a penalty at OT last season earning us a draw and scored at the Emirates, which almost earned us a draw. We need players like him in these sort of games to have any hope. That is a total shit mentally saying might as well not risk him, just roll over and take the loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andrew Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't know man, isn't a torn hamstring a pretty big deal? 3-4 months out and usually affects pace. i'd rather we manage him carefully because he's one of the best talents i've seen here ever.

Lush Vlad Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Time for Marv to step up. The hard work of Jonas and physicality of Perch will only get you so far. Needs to start ahead of one of these against QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you ask if it's worth risking him, I answer your question in a way that doesn't please you so you call my "mentally" shit. It's all about risk management for me. He's far more likely to be significant to the result in some games than others. I never once mentioned rolling over and accepting defeat. Bit of a shit mentality to assume that's what I meant, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 "There is a danger he could tear that and if he did that he would be out for two or three months whereas if we do it the right way and be sensible about it, it may only be three weeks.

Anyone think it's worth the risk? Not for me, i'd rather have him in 3 weeks time than lose him for the rest of season if its that bad. Even after the next four games we have 17 to go, much rather he played in those tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 We'll need him during the spring. Of course it's the right thing to do. Marveaux HAS to play now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yeah no point risking at all and forcing him out for months on end. Seems like they completely underestimated it going into the Fulham game, why bother playing him then at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sounds like we did though against Fulham Ben Arfa has said that he didn't feel anything, they probably didn't know enough at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
