ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Since he has came into the team we haven't been the same, hasn't caught up with the pace of the game here and struggles under pressure.His sideway passing does my nut in and he rarely takes on a player, it's almost as if he wants to retain possession at all costs and not find that final ball. Would never thought I would of said this but we are missing Nicky Law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 56,378 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I think our midfield had a far better balance when it was Law, Halliday & Holt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,751 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 He wasn't bad at all today. Dug in well. He's 18 and will go on to become a fantastic player. Doesn't matter his sideways passing will forever hold him back... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirWeiss69 933 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I don't rate him at all tbh. He is very weak and seems like he takes an age when passing, the majority of his passes goes sideways. That's not to say he will probably be a player in a few years and hope he will be but for now I think Law is the more effective player and can score goals which is what we need in the team when stuff ain't working!

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Something else I was slaughtered for saying. Bring back Nicky law!He takes on players AND has that killer ball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 32,410 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Zelalem is a class player and wasn't the problem today. I'm not the biggest fan of 4-3-3. I think his passes would be more direct with two through the middle. I know, it won't happen..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Harsh on the kid maybe but he looks out his depth at this level. Certainly doesn't contribute anything to our team. Also seems shit scared to shoot from any sort of distance. Apparently he ain't 100% happy here so may well go back south in January. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,107 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 He was ok today and not the issue.as I've said its our powder puff tackling and stand off defending that needs to improve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'm not talking about just today, every game this season.I think he will be a good player but I don't think he fits our system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Nicky Law brings so much more to the midfield than Zelalem.Not sure he is up to the task of playing for such a massive club at this stage in his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnclosureBear 3,022 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Keeps it simple but then becomes ineffective in the game, he looks lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsa 3,906 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That sideways passing and never taking anyone on really halted Xav's progress. Think what he could've achieved but for all the sideways passing? Could've gotten right to the top... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centenarystand 2,229 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Got to admit his first couple of games i thought he looked some prospect but i've changed my opinion. He is not direct enough and shows no goal threat. He plays the short easy ball too much and not enough craft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowsBlue 329 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 His chopping and changing direction and then eventually playing the pass he could of played first time is infuriating. Usually means the man he is passing to is marked by then Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
