I think he'll play RM again v Arsenal.
Solid in the 4-4-2 off the ball and we'll expect to sit into the 5-4-1 with him at RB during sustained pressure from Arsenal

The passing stat is just part of the evolution of the debate. Started off with people thinking he was playing as a wide player. Then it moved to him needing replacing with someone who gets more goals. Now it's his passing (after establishing, over some time, that he isn't a wide player and isn't being played as one).

Aye and Reinaldo has 91% rest mostly 80s
No shit Sherlock seen as we have nobody else to play there
No fucker said he was a wide player man I said I can’t wait to see a winger out there also if you look at his best map 90% of the game he’s out wide watch the first half again

Tremendous isn't it.
But Reinildo isn't being played in midfield. Do you think position might have any bearing?

It’s part of people saying he had an excellent game when he only had 70% pass completion he was ok he helped put defensively I wouldn’t say he had an excellent game
No as the other midfielders didn’t have this problem he’s barely out of 70% most games man

I was replying to another poster saying he shouldn't play any midfield role against bigger teams. I'm saying he will later this week

Could also bring xhaka back if fit maybe was waiting for this game and diarra put to Humes role who’s a lot better going forward but can also track back

Do you know of many right siders available who can tuck in, cover, slot into a back five when needed? Almost as if he offers value across several positions, which is what the manager is looking for.
In fact you said these new right wingers were going to replace him so can they not come into the team instead?

Not saying he doesn’t we need to use that area of the pitch to provide us with more goals which is what we are lacking
woodlebert
Striker
Yes also options. So why did you say "no shit Sherlock" to what I said initially? You're now saying Hume won't necessarily start there

Diarra, a central midfielder who likes to get up to the front man playing in Humes role, covering the right, coming inside and dropping in at full back/to make a back 5?

He's absolutely fine at RM at home especially when you've got Nordi bombing on too.

Hume excellent tnite, RLB nailed it tactically never an easy game in Prem but we made it easy
Or Burnley were crap, so Hume being a square peg in a round hole was not highlighted

Aye against Burnley

RLB has said in prematch interviews that he likes having various options within the starting XI
Hume can play in many positions depending on the state of the game, who has possession, scoreline, etc. It's why he keeps picking him

He has played multiple games out right for his countryDiarra, a central midfielder who likes to get up to the front man playing in Humes role, covering the right, coming inside and dropping in at full back/to make a back 5?
