sh74 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thought we looked a lot better when he was replaced by Shelvey. same , thought we looked a lot better when Shelvey was on the pitch. He's a bit of a daft shite but he needs to be in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Said it a few times, really don't see what he brings to the party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Closing down, tackles, interceptions, closing off space. All things Shelvey isn't good at. We don't concede many and he's contributed imo. He's becoming a major problem with the ball though. Takes too long to make his sideway pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Even when we are losing he'll take forever too long to pass it to Lascelles. Wor Jackie Colback actually takes forever, Too harsh for Isaac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't mind trying Shelvey and Merino next game. We are likely to lose anyway, why not give it a try? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, he's nothing on the ball, off the ball he's no Dave McReery, I mean he gives little defensively or ging forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 He gives a lot defensively, don't go over the top. We never got exposed in the middle thanks to Hayden and Merino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thought he was better than i've seen him in the first half. In the second half his inability to pass it forward became infuriating. Wouldn't drop him for Shelvey any time soon though. Really? We are playing Liverpool next. They play with 3 CM's that can run, pass and close him down hard. He'll struggle majorly imo. Yet his own defensive ability will bring a lot in such a game when we expect to be on the back foot. Finding the criticism of him way OTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I generally like him and think yesterday was one of his weaker showings. I mentioned in the match thread that he was heavily taped up from the off so he's perhaps not 100%. He just needs to impose himself a bit more on games, like Merino, with more aggression. He's certainly got the potential to play at this level effectively though. Don't doubt that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm not a big fan. Has potential but think we need the finished article in there in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thought we looked a lot better when he was replaced by Shelvey. Brighton were sitting back massively at that point which allowed Shelvey more space. Had we started with the two of them it would have been a different story imo.

Away Day Gadgie Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 A Shelvey/Merino combo is definitely worth a go but i don't think the Liverpool game would be a good time to try it. We need Hayden's energy and athleticism for that one as i could see Liverpool's midfielders running off Shelvey far too easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't think he did a lot wrong yesterday, he got subbed because we needed a goal. The problems are further forward IMO, it's the forwards who aren't showing enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Has promise but is young, inexperienced and could do with a senior pro to guide him. Lad will be a good player given time and good coaching imo. Lets hope Rafa is the man to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not sure he knew but with Forster wrongfooted all he needed to do was hit the target on that side of the goal. Lovely clean hit did the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I've got a lot of time for Hayden like. I know there's the running joke about him being down injured in every match, but whether it's low pain threshold or just putting it on he's still a brave player and he has a lot about him to appreciate.
