Hayden

Thought this donkey needed a thread too.

He's a hopeless player

 

Definitely was **** today. He's learning too much from Shelvey

 

Mate he's just not good enough and he never will. He's a gormless whelp

 

He’s ****. We should have pedalled him to Man Utd for the £30m.

 

We missed a trick there, but rafa had built a side that knew what it was doing so he looked better than he was.

We need two top cms urgently and have done since Cabaye left

Shelvey is going to start every ****ing game as long as bruce is here. I litterally cannot believe how **** he plays and how Bruce blames max today

 

It's hard to tell who is **** under Bruce.

He was ok under Rafa. I will leave it to another, more competent, manager before I write him off

 

Nah he's too slow and far too gormless mate so hell never be good enough.

 

thats a good point.

Bruce may be stunting players development AND actually regressing some too.
He’s like a cancer at our club.
One last ‘**** you’ from Ashley to the fans.

 

Too quick to write SL off. As Dazza said, he was good under Rafa. I believe he has got talent but Bruce has crushed it. Let’s see what a different manager can make of him. He’ll not be great but he’ll be a decent CM in a mid table side.

 

He's killing almiron again now... Bruce had the players for 4 2 3 1 but he's got this belief that playing more than 3 attacking players is a bad idea...


If hate my life if I was almiron he's being asked to just run around for 90 mins without being allowed to attack.

He's basically doing all the running jonjo can't do and now Longstaff too.

It's absolutely shocking that shelvey is at this club never mind starting.

He's ****

 

He’s clumsy, dopey, slow, with no prominent ability whatsoever.

 

Miles better than Hayden

 

Willock and matty should start but it'll be the same side vs Leicester.. I don't think he realises just how bad our cms are... I cannot get my head around shelvey.. I mean litterally every goal we concede hes just walking around watching it..

 

He’s static. Him and Shelvey stay at the same two positions in front of a bank of 5.

His potential is gone: he’s not improving and he won’t.

 

He's just ****

 

Yeah would agree, but no chance it'll happen

 

God how long have I been hoping for an actual proper CM who puts him self about and drives the team forward. We literally have no personality in the middle of the park. Totally pedestrian. #1 priority for me

 

It's been like that now for 7 years!

 

Bruce thinks shelveys good

 

Longstaff appear to play better whien he's paired with Hayden, but a 3 of Hayden, Longstaff and Shelvey is hardly dynamic.

A few years ago I'd say he was on par with the likes of Rice and McTominay, as promising young midfield players, they have both progressed their game over the past 2 seasons, McTominay also looks physically much improved too. Longstaff hasn't improved his game, if anything he's regressed. I'm not sure that's down to tactics or the manager, he just doesn't look quick enough, mobile enough or strong enough.
