AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 A good point here that people might miss. As he gets withing 2 yards of the area he looks left towards the players in the box before deciding to go on. Such talent. He does this a lot, that's why I don't buy the criticism of him for retaining the ball for too long. Usually when he decides to carry the ball it's because he's already looked up and rejected the available options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fantastic to see that driving acceleration and mobility in full show again though like it was at Everton. Seriously a brilliant player if we play to his strengths and most importantly actually play him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 To be fair to best when Ben Arfa first burts past 2 players (15 secs) Best quickly turns for a run, there's a very good through pass open as blackburn defender is going the other way and would never have defended it, so credit to best for quickly seeing that. Then you think oh he's blown it they catch up as he comes to cut inside then he completely flummoxes them like they're not there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 A challenge for everyone: watch the goal again and instead of thinking about how good it is, and how much talent you'd need to score a goal like that, think about this. http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/8414/56910550obertan.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VaVaVoom Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fucking awful coverage like. He started his run a few seconds before that, and it didn't capture the sheer excitement of the crowd when he just kept going. Things never look quite as good when you know how they end up. Still maintain its the best goal i've seen in my 15 years of going to St James'. That, or Tiote's. Really? Shearers volley against Everton? Ginolas volley against ferencvaros? Roberts two against spurs? Alberts against Manure? Its up there like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm sure this link is fine to post...but it's a phone shot of the shirt through you some of you were talking about earlier Definitely Mehdi Abeid like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Aye, Hatem definitely went over to the Milburn stand, the same place where he gestured a heart to after scoring, at the end and gave his shirt to someone there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
