Other than that I thought both centre halves were ok today. In fact the back 4 were ok I thought and Tav was very good defensively which was good to see. I think we should give Clint Hill time to prove himself and also to try build a partnership with the other defenders (There definitely needs to be better communication but that is common with players who haven't played together much). It's far too early to start calling him Warburton's worst signing. Give the guy a chance. He's had plenty time, a lot more than the 20 minutes we normally give players, HF was written off last season after just one substitute appearance, it's the RM WAY?

HG5 11,411 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just watching the game back. Unfortunately, Clint has to be credited with the scoring pass for their goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del 667 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Again some folk can't see the woods for the trees! I didn't think he played that well today but you need to ask yourself why someone who you can clearly see and hear directing people to get into positions to play the ball short, can't make a pass. The number of times Hill and Keirnan had the ball and had no one to pass to was ridiculous for the way we play. At one point he stood pointing at the gap where a CDM should be and still no one moved, so he played it to wes who again looked for the pass into midfield that never materialised. Barton, Halliday and Kranjcar were to blame for that! As a team we done 4-5 things wrong or that we normally wouldn't do, which meant we were ineffective but I hope this is a wake up call to some of them. The starting 11today was the wrong choice from the start! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordandShield 189 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Didn't think he was the worst and it's early days. Did notice however that he really wasn't keen to take a pass when the ball was played out from the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange&blue92 1,284 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Dominated in the air today and his tackling was pretty decent(when he never got beaten for pace) but he can't pass to save himself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted this in the other thread. Dallying on the ball until there were no options. He was pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy irritated me doing that all game, thought Halliday done the same a few times. I couldn't believe how many missed opportunities we had from not making the correct passes and playing it right back to the half way line or to Wes.

That said Tavernier again at fault for Accies goal. How do you work that out? Krancjar and Wallace were responsible for not putting in any sort of challenge. Seems the captain can do no wrong for some. I'm sure he would be his own harshest critic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace always gets off lightly , at times hes crap , looks great bombing forward but his defending is terrible. Reminds me of Hutton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,712 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, Clint Hill, until he motioned to Kiernan not to pass the ball back to him, even though he was the best option at the time. No player should EVER do that, unless they're, seriously, injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markem 7,326 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thought our problem in the 1st half (as it was in the cup final) was that we were static - no movement to create space and take the pass, Countless times Hill did not have a outlet. Not sure that he did much wrong defensively and would go as far as saying he had a good second half. What I loved in the early part of MW tenure was the work put in to create space, players buzzing about everywhere and dragging opponents out of position, we haven't seen that for some time. That midfield as a trio should not start the next game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
