Hanshithispantz Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Trying to find Mike's post which pretty much summed him up, something like "I was just waiting to see how he was going to go past those dudes" after he skinned 3 players from a standing position on the left wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Pardew saw through him, the back room staff saw through him, the dressing room saw through him, Steve Bruce saw through him and the fact that he was got rid of before he even got to Christmas suggests the rest of Hull FC agreed with Bruce and NUFC. Of course them lot only have professional qualifications and first hand experience of having to deal with him on a day to day basis to make an informed judgement. Bags of talent, bereft of any sort of work ethic, not what any club needs - unless of course you think we should start every game with just 10 people on the pitch. We do that anyway. It's called Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniatmoko Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Well, even he got loaned at Hull, he didn't say anything bad to the club, manager, other players. I guess he's loner type of dude, can't get along with people so easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Reading through the comments on the Facebook post of this news (nufc contract severance)... I know I shouldn't even venture there, but scary how appalling some of the cliché ridden opinions are. Man, don't do it to yourself. It's hard enough doing it when it's the same people defending Pardew, but when it's them attacking something that you care about it's even worse. I was on The Chronicle website a few weeks ago posting stats to people, giving examples and basically proving every cliche' to be completely wrong and they just weren't having it. It was literally like 'he's a 1 in 10 player' then me saying 'actually he's a 1 in 3.5 player' then listing all of the other players stats, Gouffran even through to Sissoko...then just no reply or just moving onto something else like 'Well Steve Bruce saw through him as well' It's incredibly frustrating.

Chicane Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have taken younger kids to watch games on a couple of occasions, and I must have hit lucky that Ben Arfa had stormers in some of those. Took a couple of nephews from Scotland to a game where he ran from the halfway line taking out 3 defenders before sticking it in the net and the roof came off the place. Those two were hooked for life. Players like Ben Arfa are why we all become fans in the first place. The players who do things the rest of can't do, that thrill us, inspire us and most of all bring excitement and passion to the game. Even last year when Ben Arfa was supposedly the root of all our problems (in Pardew's eyes, and in the eyes of the sheep who follow him), any time he got the ball the entire atmosphere in SJP picked up. A murmur goes around the stadium and people get up on their feet in anticipation. Nobody falls in love with football because of good organization or a solid defensive shape. No kids are gonna watch Gouffran tracking back and say to their dad 'I wanna be like him when I grow up' and then rush down the park as soon as they can to try and imitate it. He had his faults of course, and that isn't to say he should necessarily have been playing every game because of course you have to be pragmatic and tactically astute as well if you want to win games but I will never understand why fans would actually turn on him like they have.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This work ethic stuff is hilarious to me He's a forward, you are not supposed to have him track back constantly in his own half because it's ineffective. Look at all the best teams, hell even just good teams they don't make their forwards (centre or wide) track back into his own half the way Pardew made him. They make them press from the front, but once it gets past their zone it becomes the midfields problem and so on. Most teams defend like that now. Not like Ben Arfa never did that, I don't want Ben Arfa defending deep inside his own half anyway he's shit at it. He should be nowhere near his own box, he's a danger to the team like most forwards are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 For some reason, one moment that sticks out for me is a game against stoke (I think). Cross field ball to him, as its dropping most would bring it down in the usual standard style, hba decides to trap in as its about to hit the ground. Sounds shit and boring but the technique was ridiculous. Sure there's a video somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
