Elliottman Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 A friend was at a talk-in recently and Steve Bruce was speaking about HBA and was telling folk of a match were he subbed HBA in first half. The after game analysis showed he had actually ran less than the goalkeeper in his time on the pitch. this is brand new information. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Eh? All the story shows is how much of a dinosaur Bruce is. He got Hull relegated that season whilst Ben Arfa is now tearing up France. Which he was obviously going to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye amazing how anyone could possibly want the second top scorer in France, and one of the outstanding players of the Ligue 1 season so far at the club. Proper weirdos.

DJ_NUFC Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I was going to reply to that incendiary comment but then I checked who the troll was. No bother. Can you stay out of this thread, Crumpy?

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 We create and score so many goals now, much better off without him winning games for us almost single handed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nothing like Steve Brewce being right, he showed Ben Arfa! Hull kicked on once the waster was dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ben Arfa didn't run much in a match for Hull once? Well that's changed my mind on the lad completely. I was basing my opinion on watching him play 60-70 times but obviously a stat some fat loser trotted out at a talk in once is much more relivent.

bealios Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Fact is, there's a lot of average managers who have a formulaic approach to management - work hard, close down, track back, good shape, defend, play the percentages. With a half decent set of players you'll secure a mid table slot. Perfect in an environment where staying up and milking the TV cash is the be all and end all. You need a bit more about you as a manager to get the best out of a player like Ben Arfa. Reminds me a bit of when Keegan told Beresford and Rob Lee they would need to do Ginola's running for him because of the talent he had. Seriously doubt Ginola would have been such a success in today's game, and that isn't meant as a sleight on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the mindset of a lot of our fans Lad doesn't graft, Pardew was right about him and dealt with him as best he could, despite everything we know about Pardew. It's incredible.

Guest palnese Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 There's a difference between "not grafting" and running less than your goalkeeper. I wouldn't play him either if actually moved less than their goalkeeper, regardless of talent. It's about respecting your teammates, hell even the fans. I know it's not popular around here, but hard work is a pretty big factor in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Did he ever run less than the goalkeeper for us? Otherwise you're basing your opinion on the circus Bruce presided over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Plus, don't think anyone is bashing "hard work" as a quality for a player to have. Just that it can't be the only thing and especially it can't be something for a player to hide behind. Like Alan Smith's version of grafting, or Colback.

I know it's not popular around here, but hard work is a pretty big factor in the game. There's a massive difference between Jonas circa 2012 hard work and Gouffran 2014 hard work. That's the kind of 'graft' that draws people's ire. Anyway I didn't watch the Man Utd game where Ben Arfa was taken off after 35 minutes () but I assume the stats are either bullshit of McGregor was desperate for a shite.
