Discount the Ben Arfa appearances where he was brought on for 5 min cameos as he returned from injury. Flawed figures are flawed
In the words of the great ray wilks,"he is a tallented football but he gives the ball away, thats why alan wont start him"
It's all tactical. Ben arfa isn't starting because pardew is going into games with defence in mind. He won't start him on the wing because he doesn't offer the support to our full backs that our other players do. But that's not his game. He is there to to give that bit of spark when we need it. He won us the game against Bolton and Blackburn and he I'd only just getting back up to speed after an injury that could of ended his playing days. I like sess, he is a decent player, I never said I think Ben arfa is better, we just need to figure out where his best position is.
But when we played HOOFBALL Sessegnon gets involved in the game and still looks a class above - Ben Arfa didn't today and therefore doesn't that make Sessegnon a better player??
Sess is playing well at the moment, and easily the best player, how good he can become? pass.. As for Ben Arfa.....who gives a ****.........
