AlanSkÃrare Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Love how the mail think Fulham are going to leave out their best centre half Well, he's been out injured for about a month, but as far as I'm aware he's fit again. He's been suspended since the mackem game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ‘I was very disappointed to lose [ben Arfa] in that Maritimo game because I wanted to get a full 90 minutes out of him performing that role. ‘He is going to put the ball at risk there, but on the plus side, he is also going to really increase the flair in and around the central areas. ‘I am sure there will be games where I think it is right to put him there or even start with him there. ‘We had Hatem playing as a No 10 last year. Mentally and physically I think he is in much better shape to play that role now than he was back then. ‘I have not really had any significant problems with Hatem. I think my experience of dealing with the likes of Benayoun, Tevez, Mascherano — players who came over here in difficult situations — has helped. ‘I am fortunate to be 52, still in the game and have that experience behind me.’ I don't like the "he's going to put the ball at risk there". So what? He's probably less risky than say Tiote who is in a more dangerous position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think Pardew is specifically saying that it's a price worth paying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 HBA centrally will be great when we get a good right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yplasterer Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If it bridges the gap between midfield and attack it can only be a positive thing. Hopefully it means Hatem recieves the ball further up the pitch too, rather than next to our own right corner flag. It's daft, but I'm very excited to see him play again tonight.

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I hope to god we turn up tonight. We'll need it going into the rest of December. Pretty sure Jonas will be back, meaning Marveaux dropping to the bench. Excited to see Anita with Tioté again. He's been a real positive as of late. Hope Tioté starts to smash shit up again.

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That twat Bird seems to think that it won't be Hatem in behind 2 strikers but rather same exact system as against Wigan but Hatem behind Ba instead of Marveaux. There also seems to be some consensus that Hatem is only really being used there when Cabaye is out and when he comes back he will go back to the right. Time will tell i suppose.

Guest neesy111 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'll take a draw tonight, think it'll be a tight game. I suspect Marveaux will be dropped for HBA when it should be Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Really starting to look forward to this now. Hatem back, hopefully Anita can continue to impress, Santon bombing down that left side, Ba and Cissé continue their high pressing and good combination play from Wigan and Tiote tackling the shit out of that little twat Duff please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I want Cheick to be at it tonight, seems vital to the rest of our season.
