TaylorJ_01 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Marveaux, Sissoko, Cisse and Ben Arfa running at O'Shea - he'll shit loads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Ben Arfa is most effective when we can play a quick switch out wide right, to get him one on one with the fullback. 9 times out of 10 he will create something from that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Cheers Warren He was hilarious warming up tonight, giving thumbs up and having a laugh with the fans , he had silver boots on in the first half which he changed to black for the second, strange lad Probably ate them at half time he's fat as fuck like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I hate to say it (due to the ridiculous hypocrisy) but he needs a good pre-season to shift the weight. He isnt at Shola 2010 level yet (post injury) but he will lose a yard of pace or too if he gained more weight. Also hope he just slims down and doesnt do what Shola did that year and turn it all into muscle, dont want an immobile Hatem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Love him! In the near future HBA and Marveaux must start for us, anything else would be criminal if you ask me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 My only worry is that we tend to over-rely on him to create something, even with 3 other (good) attacking/creative players on the pitch. Hopefully that will change once we get used to having multiple attacking options on the pitch. Fuck that, I want him on the ball all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Even just playing 30 minutes and not fully match fit the difference HBA makes to our attacking play is quite amazing. Every time he gets the ball you expect something positive to happen and it often does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Moody Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 So glad he still appears to be reasonably underrated by anyone outside of the toon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 When he gets the ball up against one defender it's pretty much the most exciting thing I've ever seen. Hatem, Je t'adore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Knew exactly what he was going to do to create that chance last night, oh what could have been if he got it either side of their keeper Good cameo and hope he can conjure some magic against the mackems.
