1 pen and 4 from corners. Eredivsie in an extremely attacking side is obviously going to elevate stats. Goal record everywhere else is nothing to speak of. He absolutely doesn't get in at right back before Mukiele and he doesn't displace Ballard.

Lets be honest - Liverpool want him as cover. If the manager rated him that highly hed have gone after him during the summer before he came here.



It's probably not a bad thing against passive sides as it might allow a bit more freedom to others. He also still played 50% more progressive passes against West Ham than Mundle, despite having a stinker 😀

West Ham were allover us and we were too weak centrally and also Fulham it just hasn't worked. I'd rather not see it so often. Wheel it out occasionally or against better sides when we retract into a back 5.

He also gets into goalscoring positions far more often as well. It's quite telling (when looking at how many chances we create and goals we scored) that our wide players who seem to cause defences the most problems are our two right backs rather than our actual attacking wingers. Only Traore seems to get into dangerous positions to cross into the box and shoot as much as those two

Just had a feeling ever since RLB was telling everyone the other day it's worked before. I think playing Mayenda was the bigger issue as it left us too short in the middle, hence Hume playing that stupid feckin hybrid wide/central role.

Yes I think Hume will start too, just said in the formation thread

Roefs, Mukiele, Ballard, Alderete, Reinildo, Hume, Diarra, Sadiki, Le Fee, Talbi, Brobbey

He should have more goals really, he's gone very close over recent games, well apart from West Ham 😀

Agree - I think Adingra has some talent but seems to lack awareness when he gets in good positions, Talbi has some raw pace and a bit of close control, but the less fancied winger at the start in Traore was one who got past a defender or two regularly and into dangerous areas in and around the box. Will be interesting to see if he's able to link up with Brobbey given they'll have played together at Ajax - think they've only played together briefly for us so far.

I’d be pissed of watching Hume pretend to be a CM. Not a pop at Hume-just doing what the manager asks. Didn’t work under Mowbray either. Mental that he isn’t featuring and it’s crackers we don’t seem keen making this one a permanent deal.

It's a strange situation to be in, i assume we'd want to make it permanent but as it stands he doesn't get in our first xi which makes it a hard sell to keep him over a move to Liverpool to all parties.

We'd be better off without him than with a pissed off version of him. I appreciate nothing to say he will be, but having just seen nordi have a paddy getting subbed and xhaka losing his head at the away fans we're not on a roll for good time parties

Shoe horn ??? He’s a Dutch international chased by top team in England who would you rather lose Hume or him ? We are stronger with mukilele centre back he gives us pace there

I don’t detest him he’s solid squad player I can see beyond a occasional crunching tackle that’s all

And Ballard has been a beast...

Mukilele should be paint central either alongside Alderette or Ballard who are very similar in the sense of athletic ability and pace it offers us a better balance
