As a central midfielder, no thanks. Agreed, his best position is left back, but he looked so slow today, regardless. He was probably up till 2am last night streaming COD.

neilnunb Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Tbf he must have been knackered after his romantic getaway with his missus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Absolutely anonymous today and seems to have gotten off lightly, squad player at best but no doubt will one of the first names on the team sheet next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaps Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 He’s an Aldi version of Scott Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 A utility player who is playing at about the right level for him. Good enough to be useful against any team except for the the arse-cheeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just to get Gino on or because he was so poor? If it’s the latter then you never know he might actually not start this weekend!

I'd have started him yesterday as well though so not going to dig RN up about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The substitution was the right move, however I was surprised it was Halliday instead of Haring. Not because I believe Haring should’ve been taken off (he shouldn’t) I was just surprised Neilson sacrificed Halliday instead. As others have mentioned he seems to be named somewhere, somehow on the team sheet. He has had a good start to the season, but Celtic aside we’ve not really faced massive tests yet, so I’m not sure Halliday should be anywhere near a first pick for the big games. (Granted he was decent in the win against Celtic, but again with him in midfield we were overrun with 80-20% possession and you could make most of our team that night who performed to a higher standard than him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambopilms Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I honestly don't think he is a midfield enforcer which some keep telling us he is, he is better a bit further forward or at LWB but no good enough at any of them. He is a good finisher when the chance comes up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game passes him by a bit in central midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Maybe wide left in a 442 with Ginnelly wide right, like we did with Prince or Djoum before is the only way he should start when everyone is fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a team a before the game and Halliday was in it along with Haring and Benny, so I was certainly thinking the same way as Neilson. The only difference from my team and the starting line-up was Gnando up front with GMS on the bench, which, as it turns out, would have been Neilson's as well if Gnando had been available.
