Pata Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 What did HBA create, then? Name a clear cut chance. What did anyone else create in the whole match? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Shola is the absolute weak link of this team. If he is not replaced in January then the club want their heads examined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chizzletooth Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Even the most delusional of the Ben Arfa fan boys must be a little concerned about his decision making. For all his talent he's 27 and still making the wrong calls too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I said "shoot" before Ben Arfa took that shot on btw, it was absolutely the right decision to shoot. Should have gone for the back post mind. The right decision just because you said it? No, it's because you love seeing magic moments from your charming prince at the expense of team cohesion.

Si Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That is EXACTLY why HBA should not start every game. I coach kids with more awareness of what's going on around them... Jesus Glad you noted that because i was just.......argh..... Guy created more than anyone else in half the time. Granted he was a bit greedy but if he wasn't greedy he wouldn't be Hatem. Well yeah, everyone is focusing on those two shots, ok they were very greedy but like f*** he's selfish all the time. He damn good will create chances if we actually played him, like last week. I know criticising HBA on here goes against the grain, but he was poor and looked disinterested against Stoke until two reds gave him the space / time to look good... Wat ? are you mental in the head ? No. I was stood 20 f***ing yards from him you retard. Your view wont help if you're mental like. Clown No it wont help if you're a clown either, quite right. http://i.eatliver.com/2011/7717.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The point I'm trying to make us we didn't create anything nor did we go out there playing to win. Pardew's tactics show that he would have taken a draw and for me I want to see us go out to win every home game. Bit unfair. Pardew's approach to this game was essentially the same one he used against Chelsea - keep it tight and compact for the first half then go for the kill around the 60 minute mark. It was only really undone today by the one defensive lapse. No-one was complaining about the attacking intent on display at Chelsea; I think it's unfair to do the same for today's game. It's also a tactic I feel is fundamentally flawed. Why? Because when the other team score we revert to lumping it up to Shola? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsah Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 He does have a tendency to over do things. But that's quite different to claiming he was terrible today and couldnt be bothered against Stoke until the sendings off gave him loads of space and made him look good Let's get this straight. Never sad he was 'terrible' today - I said he should not start every game as most on here think. And you need to watch the Stoke game again - we was one of the most anonymous players on the pitch until we had the game handed to us by their players / Atkinson. But again, apologies for not bowing to popular opinion... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesn't justify the claim that HBA created things for us. Maybe for him, but it certainly wasn't for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 As a delusional fanboy, it is something that irritates me. Certainly in the moment. But it doesn't concern me a great deal, cos I know that sometimes those bad decisions turn out to be brilliant ones. It's just the sort of player he is and I wouldn't want to change him too much.

Dave Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 We played well today and didn't deserve to lose IMO. Arsenal created little due to our hard work and we just switched off for the freekick. Going forward we were decent but selected the wrong option time after time. My only real complaint would be that we left it a bit late to start chasing the game, though having said that it was weird to see Krul up at the end before the 90mins had even been played out. Overall I'm happy we competed so well, if you're going to lose I'd much rather it be in this fashion where the opposition knows they've had to battle very hard for the points.
