Modern day Denis Irwin.


I dunno - there’s a bit of Stuart Pearce about him (don’t know why I think that - maybe it’s the way he passes it - all neat and tidy)

It was obvious at the end of last season when he got in the team that Hall was ready for a lot of minutes this season. 
 

He looked immense in those last half dozen games.  Had he had a run a little earlier he may have gone to the euros imo.  That run was caused by the injury crisis but I think it changed Howe’s view of Hall.

If he is either of them two we’re onto a gem

And then at the start of this season he gave the ball to the oppo in really bad positions regularly......!lby fuck he's came on since then.

 

MotM again and making a dominant left side.

Aye and he’s going to have more ropey games. But he’s shown he can play at this level.  Similar to Livra whose has had a slow start to the season. He can perform.

@Unbelievable I will help you out on this one and show how an adult should approach these conversations.

 

I was wrong on both Hall and Howe. I though Howe would start Kelly and push Hall to the sidelines. I was wrong. 

 

I didn't doubt Hall mind and this season I've been nothing but impressed by his technical output. He's getting better and better and I'm buzzing for him.

Where were you when Hall was struggling defensively earlier this season though? That's what I want to know.

Did Hall deserve to start the season as left back?

 

Did he?

 

Has he proven it to be the right choice?

 

I “piped” up when you were sprouting shit in August before a competitive game of football had even been played. I didn’t need convincing the kid is special and ready, you did.

I think he's better than livra. Have done since last season, just needed to know he's a FB and that's where he's staying. Bit like Anderson, judt needed to know his game isn't as far forward as initially trained.

They are just different types. Tino is more Reece James. Hall is more Luke Shaw.

 

Power and pace. Composure and passing.

 

Aye different, certainly, just think Hall will be the better all round player in that position. I think livra will be inconsistent, which you can't have as part of any defensive peice.

One thing that’s noticeable is his improved stamina. He was blowing out his arse after 60 mins last season. Don’t know if it’s just match fitness through regular game time, which is huge, but, he looked like a 90 minute player today. He made an absolutely crucial interception around 85 mins in the middle of goals which last season he wouldn’t have even attempted to close down. 
 

He said he doesn’t seem himself as a FB, he can be and he needs to embrace it. He’s a young lad he has loads of time to develop his position.

He done so much well but he is a gnarly wee sod as well

 

I had slight concerns early when Arsenal looked like they’d channel a lot in the air on him for Havertz to go and play on him given the height advantage but he quickly made them reconsider that.

So he struggled at the start and had people calling for him to be dropped, which he was by the manager, and not a peep from you through all that.

 

Now he's come back in and is doing well here you are gloating. Well congratulations. I am glad for you.

 

If I said I wasn't confident in him defensively based on what he did last season, that is not me spouting shit. It was clearly a weakness of his, and it did show itself early on this season again.

 

Honestly, this is just embarrassing really.

Tino is slightly unfortunate in that he’s always compared to trippier, who was once one of the best right backs in the league. 
 

 

 

Some truth in that. Having little competition on the left, to tripps at rb could and probably does change views.
