Do we have the wingers to play 4-4-2?

Think I was sold on him when I saw him link up brilliantly with Ben Arfa (think cup against Forrest) and a few instances with Cabaye (possibly v villa last year). Just seems to have a very quick football brain and can pass it well. However that been the case he needs equally good players around him to be able to play that game. Obviously easier to do with Ben Arfa and Cabaye than with the kids.

 

These arguments will rattle on til they get their chance unfortunately.

 

He has looked really good in the games he has come on as a sub, which makes me wonder if Pards wants to use him as a good impact player. The couple of games I've seen him start, he has looked anonymous.

 

Having said that, I think he's got some real quality and if we show some faith in him, like we did with Obertan, we could have a fantastic player on our hands. HBA is currently our only creative outlet, and Marv can most definitely be our second creative outlet. Good touch, decent delivery (well better than anyone else's atleast) and smart player (we saw glimpses vs Wigan and Everton last year).
