Ryan Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not having a proper pre season is an absolutely massive hindrance. Seems baffling how he isn't getting more game time at Hull, although I've never watched him since he's signed so unsure what his performances have been like.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 He's been good, so again it's baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm definitely a Ben Arfa fan, but surely even his biggest fans have to question him now? From what I can tell, he isnt injured.. yet isnt playing for/getting in the Hull team. First line of defence for him would I assume be "Bruce is the wrong manager for him, doesnt like that type of player" or whatever. Ok, so why did he sign him and sing his praises just after? You'd say Pardew is "the wrong manager" for him too I assume. But he's been a regular in the Newcastle starting 11 before, so that's that out of the window. If you're good enough, you'll play? I'm not questioning him, why should I? I've seen him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 That's the long and short of it like, pointless even questioning whether or not he's good enough for Hull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 He started 3 games in a row before dropping to the bench against Burnley, so its not like he hasnt been playing at all. No idea what Bruce was thinking against Burnley mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Picked lazy Ben Arfa against Arsenal and Liverpool, both away, and got a point in both. Then dropped him against Burnley and lost. Aye, that certainly reflects badly on HBA. Bruce is a cretin. I already knew that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Bruce is astonishingly stupid. How can you not know to unleash him against the lesser teams. I mean ... the guy must be really thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 That chronicle article where they said toon fans weren't missing Ben Arfa and supported Pardew's decision to ship him out was based on 10 Facebook comments. Ten fans replied. They're an absolute abomination of a newspaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Every time people buy into this propaganda they are told and ignore what they have seen with their own eyes. HBA is a prime example of this, I have NO doubt he's a great player because I've seen him... Play great! I have no doubt Pardew is a shit manager, because I've seen him manage us... Like shit.

Decky Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 He's been managed by Pardew and Bruce during his troubles ffs. Even Messi wouldn't get a quarter of the goals he's getting now under those 2 clowns. Stick HBA into the likes of Southampton and you'd see what he's really made of.

You're obviously quick to discredit Steve Bruce, and likewise Pardew I assume in being a shit manager. As I said before, this shit manager had Ben Arfa as a regular starter in his team at one point. Saying "OMG CUZ ITZ STEV BROSE!" doesnt stick with me. If he' that good, he'd be playing regularly - as he was here at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
