Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)

A reminder.

 

This is from ages ago, but if we were to update it, it would work even more in HBA's favour considering the staggering ineptitude of the alternatives.

 

FWIW, I worked this out the other week for all these '1 game in 10' idiots. Gouffran and Sissoko's stats are slightly out as a result, but neither have scored since, so if anything it's doing them a favour. Mata's is out as well because he's scored against Liverpool since this.

 

HBA (48 starts)

1 goal per 3.5 PL starts

1 assist per 4 PL starts

 

Gouffran (56 starts)

1 goal per 6 PL starts

1 assist per PL 14 starts

 

Obertan (26 starts)

1 goal per 13 PL starts

1 assist per 4 PL starts

 

R. Taylor (31 starts)

1 goal per 10 PL starts

1 assist per 6 PL starts

 

Sissoko (61 starts)

1 goal per 8 PL starts

1 assist per 7 PL starts

 

...and now just for fun, compare him to an undoubtedly world class player, about the same age, playing in the same position, dropped for apparently not tracking back and being lazy, recently sold for £37 million.

 

Juan Mata (96 starts)

1 goal per 3.5 PL starts

1 assist per 3 PL starts.

 

Good post but Mata is not world class.

 

That's from nearly a year ago like, it was when Mourinho wasn't playing him despite him having had a great season previously. Personally think he's world class like, but everyone looks boring in that boring Man United team.

Ideal scenario is that he plays against England, tears us a new one and Pardew is one of the 'pundits' in the studio. The presenter hammers him for letting Ben Arfa go. If only.

"trust me, oi wish oid seen dat kinda application from im when oi woz iz gaffer"

 

(Hearty laughs. Ian Wright heard saying "fackin forrins" under his breath, then they move on to talking about Rooney again).
