wormy Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I'd keep him on. Was actually discussing this with a mate after Tino's latest stormer of a game and whether they may try to wriggle out of the deal if they decide other positions become more of a priority. But that just doesn't feel very 'us' these days. When we lock in on a target we take him, no matter the public consensus on whether that position/player is needed or not (e.g. the obvious of people questioning more full back purchases and that's not a dig). If they saw something in Hall like they have all our other signings, I trust that implicitly and want to see how it plays out. Only way I see them looking for an out is if he's not showing the will to improve and break in to the team, as he's clearly got ability. Doesn't seem that sort of character though.

You’re crazy. Livramento was the one. (There were some doubts about whether he would fully recover from the injury.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Having some doubts about Hall. I realize that he couldn’t play against Chelsea, but he’s remained on the bench in two games where he was the only reasonable midfield sub. Howe trusts Miley enough to start those three games. But Hall doesn’t make an appearance ? Not even to kill the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt away but I'm giving Eddie the biggest rope in existence with his development of Hall after what he's done for Gordon and other players in the squad.

Conjo Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Would be crazy not to buy this lad. Although he'll be good for another couple of seasons, Trippier is playing at this current level at most one more season, probably not even that. Livramento is a close to ready made replacement to phase him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 4 hours ago, Mike said: I might be crazy but I feel like he came into the squad with more anticipation than Tino, so I'd 1000 percent trigger it. He didn't like. Tino had a proper breakout season at Soton. Started pretty much every game before injury and was a standout player. Lewis Hall had a few games in a substandard Chelsea team. Not a knock on Lewis. But Tino was well on his way to becoming an established PL player, while Hall was just coming through. He's a couple of years younger and a couple of years behind in development. As others have said. He's also primarily played at LCM. When you look at his YouTube compilations, most of them he's playing youth football in midfield. Bit of a shame for him that he couldn't get into the team in midfield with all the injuries and he's not really trusted to come off the bench when it matters. I had hoped he might come on in Paris for Isak but I wasn't confident he would track back diligently at LM like Gordon was doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 He's been crap when he has started in my opinion, looks raw and dosn't really do the right things, that being said i would start him on sunday and give someone else a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 He was playing games in the Prem last season for Chelsea. We need to be resting some of these players to have any chance in the next games. He can’t prove himself if players who offer nothing like Ritchie are coming on ahead of him.

Vaj Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Agree it is a bit concerning he didn’t come on. Trippier needs a rest and the obvious option would be Tino right back and Hall left back but can’t see that happening if Ritchie is coming on over him. Burn and Targett aren’t back for a long time so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sense, there's no great loss as we haven't exactly paid Chelsea anything yet - so it's not a case of saying we could have had someone else in instead.
