Hume Hybrid Role

At least RLB hooked him at half time. Yes it should probably have been sooner but you don’t really want to be hooking your captain before half time. Hopefully he’s seen its utter f***ing madness to have Hume playing a makeshift role ahead of a 30m AFCON winner. I mean frankly RLB should be in front of KLD explaining himself it’s that ridiculous

He was absolutely lost. Embarrassed for him.
He shouldnt start next week.

He's a full back. Diarra is now back so we can stop this experiment - it can work in some games, but be exposed in others.

He’s perfect when we go 5 at the back. Which we will do in a few games especially away from home with top teams. But when it’s a back 4 Hume shouldn’t be first choice. RLB needs to just accept he’s not on every team sheet. And he needs to stop thinking 5 at the back is default. We need more options up front against all but the top 5 or 6
 
Eh it's worked previously didn't work today. He had a disasterclass first half but there wasn't many that were streets ahead of him.

Just surprised no one has tried to claim it was the armband weighing heavy on him :lol:
 
Was saying months back that he just hasn't got the technical ability to play in midfield, especially away from home when your technique has to be spot on at this level. Really hope this is the last time he's used here.
 
I’ll always state that he is one of my favourite lads players, and he’s had an excellent season. But you can’t ignore that performance from him today. He was utterly shocking in every single department and you can’t blame that on his position.

Now is the time he’s dropped and we start Gerti and go to a more traditional formation.
 
Hume is an excellent fullback. He’s been one of our better and most consistent players since he came into the side in League 1.

He is not a premier league midfield player and that got exposed horribly today.

For all our sakes I hope that particular experiment is binned

He needs to play RB. RWB. LB.
THE END.

He was embarrassing today and a few times hes been asked to play centrally he has looked lost

I wouldn't even be playing him at LB

I find it deeply frustrating watching players played out of position. It rarely works and when you have two world class midfielders on the bench in Diarra and Geertruida, I just don't understand the selection.

Hume is a midfielder he just played complete shit today he had a 10 minute spell where he gave the ball away every time he got it and gave them a penalty - I think that happens if hes right back or right midfield just a shit day at the office like Mundle, Reinildo and mayenda. I do think we should have shift le fee to the left and put gerts on mind as they were killing us down the wings. BTW I really rate hume and think he will spend a lot of his career in the prem.
