I know Ben Arfa has quality, but when I see him play, he seems to lose possession on a not irregular basis. Not saying that's a reason not to have him starting a la Pardew over recent months, but looking at it objectively, he looks a frustrating player in that sense.

 

He has a tendency to try and do too much.

 

Which is not surprising given the options ahead of him tbh. Hopefully the Demba's will change that.

I'd rather he does what he does rather than having a side-to-side passer which leads to dispossession/pass-back-and-hoof.

 

Most of the times he's lost possession today is because there is no movement ahead of him whatsoever.

 

Edit: :lol: okay, not that time.

Unlike you to come on here and criticise one of our players.

 

Right. :lol:

It would be frustrating if nothing ever came from his innovative play. Fortunately his productivity speaks for itself and i can forgive him some misplaced passes.

But what came first? No movement up front, or no pass from HBA?
