Lewis Hall

[Joelinton7]

Been hauled off at ht in 3 games now. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

We didn't look any better when he went off 

 

Thought he again showed real promise on the ball but naive defensively.

[SAK]

He may come good in the long run but with FFP restrictions a more established left back would have made more sense (he’s not cheap at £28m to be paid at end of season plus up to 7m in add ons). Guess the club is looking long term but sometimes I wished they looked at immediate needs.

[RUHRLYASLEEVESUP]

Runs funny 

[joeyt]

He'll miss the next game too

[Guest]

Took Gordon a few games to bed in to Eddies style?

[Hanshithispantz]

I think if anything we're seeing just how good Burn actually is

Defensively, he is fantastic (Burn)

[Aiston]

Another HT sub, wonder how much that will fuck him mentally.

[OverThere]

Hall is going to be decent but looks a bit away from PL ready. 

[Ikon]

Hard to judge him today as most of our players were shite and we looked awful overall because of various reasons. Against Dortmund he got a yellow early on, and that also was a massive game for someone so inexperienced as well. Give it time and judge later. 

[Upthemags]

Thought Hall was one of the better players in our side td

[The College Dropout]

Think he looks more a midfielder than a defender at this point.

Burn is defensively very good but he doesn’t offer a great deal to the team going forward from open play, Hall is more your typical modern fullback in that he is the opposite.

 

He didn’t get to show his ability going forward today as our performance and tactics were terrible.

[ponsaelius]

Forgot he's loan tied for the next game ffs. We've got three left backs and they're all fucking unavailable.

We've a player who's played internationals, proper big last 8 type games at left back.

He's done nothing to warrant getting subbed at HT in the games he's started, and Howe has kept on players who's done way worse before, so I think it was a pre-planned sub on both occasions, thus won't fuck him mentally at all.

If he was playing well I don’t think he would be subbed. 
 

im sure Howe hates the idea of a back 4 all right footed. But with the personnel available that’s all we can do.

Yeah, I've revised my opinion a bit. For all his limitations, he has that street wisdom which gets him out of many difficult situations.

[jackyboy]

It's always easier to play well when you have good players around you. Unfortunately some of our good players are suffering from mental and physical fatigue at the moment so for those coming into the side, especially the younger ones just don't get the benefit of our better players 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Was interested to see how he did statistically yesterday. 

 

- 4 tackles

- Won 5 of his 6 ' ground duels'

- Dribbled past once (always find the way they mark this dubious)

 

A lot more touches and passes than Tino had too but that's likely cause we were flagging physically a lot more second half.

 

It was really some of his off the ball work that'll have seen him hooked. Felt like we lost more possession control when he went off though, he was involved in some good build up moves in the first.

[madras]

Got to remember he's 2 yrs behind Tino (I know Tino had a long injury). That year at Southampton was massive in Tino's development and that will come to Hall. He has to be patient as we do as well.

[Menace]

He looks raw but somehow I trust our scouting departments eye for a player. They very rarely have got it wrong since the takeover. £28m will seem a snip in a few years if he can make that LB position his own - also qualifies as HG too.

Even with burn playing and botman missing we’ve been conceding a lot away from home - 2 at wolves and West Ham and 3 at Brighton. Lascelles has done really well but it is what it is.

[LFEE]

Was surprised to see him subbed. Freshest legs out of all our players and can’t play our next home game seemed to point to him getting 90mins yesterday. 
 

Thought he passed and moved well in those few decent triangles we played near the touch line. Was probably up against their most dangerous player which might of swayed EH mind with the game still at 0-0.
