Quite useful though as you can more or less disregard everything those people have to say about football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that were true, the doylems that hated Ben Arfa preferred Obertan/Ryan Taylor to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Ben Arfa was a much better footballer and understood how to link in with other players better but I really like ASM. He’s shown glimpses of better link-up play this season and he’s obviously always a threat with his dribbling, just less so when he’s up against a team like Wolves who are extremely well drilled at the back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Did anyone actually suggest taking him off? I didn't see anyone calling for that, and that would have been mental. If you didn't like Ben Arfa, you couldn't have liked football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 ASM was interviewed after the game and no news on his injury so it mustn’t be a bad one. Probably just cramp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 In the hubbub of the moment I missed the commentary after the goal of "well lets focus on the negative first" in as downcast a tone as possible. Aye lets not focus on the great last minute volley initially cos that would be wrong. Dry your eyes c**t btw Howe and Tindall giving instructions after the goal is proper studious and encouraging Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Worked extremely hard, was his usual frustrating self at times, but tried to take on his man, get to the byline and looking for passes all game and scored a worldy, I’d take that every week. He needs attacking help though, at times he had zero to give to or to play in, that’s why he checked back a lot which is a good sign in a sense as normally he’d just try and take on his mind. He was very economical today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 What was more impressive? His 25 yard volley or his 70yard sprint defending their disallowed goal. Either wouldn't have happened under Bruceball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few times today when he was the last man on a clearance and he just nonchalantly brought it down and played the simple pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He also played a ball through to Wood in the first half that should have led to an opportunity in goal but Wood just didn’t have the pace to make anything of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems properly focused and appears to have fully bought into Howe's approach. Hopefully he carries on this season as he's started! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He was right about playing with Wood last season, there's no way a player like him can benefit in anyway with having Wood as the main point of attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having a functioning full back behind him is much more of an issue. His game completely changed when Targett came into the side last season and offered the ability to actually have purposeful overlapping runs that actually created danger. It stops him from being double and triple teamed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technique was immaculate on that strike though, he even got it to dip, and that ball was coming down from a fair height. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
