BrettNUFC Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 If Ben Arfa is fully fit, i would without a doubt start him as at the end of the day, you concentrate on how your players can hurt them rather than how they can hurt you, especially a fullback. However if he isn't fit enough yet it would be silly to ask him for such a difficult shift when Sissoko has put in some fine performances in that place and be better off sticking with him.

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He should still start if he's fit, of course, but he's going to have to work as Baines will be up and down and knows that he's just as much of a threat and will panic wide midfielders. There are times when he simply has to do his job, I think he's better with that responsibility anyway as he doesn't produce enough for a truly free role.

Laughed off his contribution. Didn't think he should start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I heard Anderson as well. He's never been a fan. For some reason people don't rate creativity. They'd much rather have a gouffran or sissoko on the flanks. Blows my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm exhausted even thinking about it any more. It's utterly ridiculous that he doesn't play every second of every game. There's literally nothing else you can say about the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The things this guy can do with the ball is pure genius. Sure he may lose the ball occasionally and or run into blind alleys, but fucking hell everytime he gets the ball he's trying to make things happen. No one else in our squad has the creativity he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks like there's definitely no fitness-related reason not to start him, at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Disgraceful that he's sat on the bench. I could tolerate the decision at the end of last year when we were winning games without him, but given how dire we've been since then, he should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Gouffran offers absolutely nothing at either end of the pitch and hasn't for months, if Ben Arfa played half as badly as he has lately he'd be absolutely slated.

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Not sure what his fitness was like today but he's got to be starting on the pitch for the next game. Great work on the left for that Anita miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Was a class above when he came on, what happened when he went off the pitch though? Was he just doing his boots up or was he taking a breather? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 A class above, really? He put one a plate for Anita but did very little else from where I was sitting, spent most of his 35 minute appearance wandering around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
