2bias 3 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Looking forward to him skipping through the Roman wall that is the Liv defence: Gaul - Gallic- Garlic extravaganxa. I hope he can carry on from last sunday. Was outstanding on the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4005 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This is the game where he needs to prove he's got the right stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 This is the game where he needs to prove he's got the right stuff. The creative difference between the two sides IMO. Created havoc and panic for both goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6146 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Best dribbler we have had since Beardsley. If they stand off he shoots, if they get tight he skins them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 One criticism you can have is that he needs to learn when it is okay to just hoof it upfield from defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Swansea have shown that with the proper space being found by team-mates you needn't hoof it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Swansea have shown that with the proper space being found by team-mates you needn't hoof it. He's always looking to initiate a counter-attack from that position.

He has the ability to drive out of the defense and I'm happy with him trying to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bictor 0 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think Ben Arfa is the only player i've seen actually get the better of Jose Enrique. Top class player, with the potential to be world class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I was disappointed that he didn't get more ball service in the second half as he had been giving Enrique a nightmare in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 http://www.guardian....tle-david-pleat Just a piece that seems to have popped up tonight comparing his performace today with Bellamys. Was gonna say like, I don't see much comparison between the two of them at all apart from their wide starting positions. Bellamy was immense for us but Pleat sums it up well there; he runs things down at a million miles an hour but thats nothing like what Ben Arfa does. Hatem picks the ball up himself and comes inside, at which point it instantly becomes a 360 degree game, with tackles coming at you from all angles. He carries it, draws the attempted tackle and beats a man, whereas Bellamy legs it after the ball with chalk on his boots and doesn't actually have to take anyone apart from when hurdling the odd sliding tackle coming at him from one side alone.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I wish Ben Arfa wasn't so one footed though. If he's on his left foot he's lethal, but sometimes I'd like him to chance it with his right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
