Pardew - We've Missed Ben Arfa's Pace

Last updated : 09 March 2013 By Footy Mad - Editor

Alan Pardew: “Hatem lasted longer than I thought.

“At half-time I thought we might have to take him off, but he got to 60 minutes, which means that Shola should be OK for Sunday.

“It’s that electric sharpness that we know he’s got.

“He got away a couple of times, but he couldn’t get away fully.

“That’ll come in the next two weeks, but he’ll be involved against Stoke.”
