Trai Hume

[Pepe]

I had significant concerns about him pre-season as I thought he would be a walking yellow card in dangerous positions for us, he has proved more than that but for me, squad player

Lucky not be booked yesterday, easily could’ve seen yellow for a couple of fouls in the second half

Now I can see why people don't post on here, simple questions, opinions,, but so many angry people who don't want to listen to others thoughts without becoming argumentative, bit like the lunatic lefties and green party supporters.

Politics forum this shite.

 

[Rokeroar]

I don't think you understand the role he is asked to play.

He's not a creative wide player, but that's not what RLB is asking him to be.

He’s not but the positions he gets in when playing there he needs to be creative

This.

People need to actually watch the game rather than make daft decisions pre game and double down on them.

Spot on, the tactics are the tactics. He won the ball back quite a bit and did contribute going forwards. Picking out 2 passes that must bar Le Fee and Xhaka wouldn't get right every time is a bit childish to prove their point.

 

[Sidewinder2]

He’s a right back.

Play him at right back please.

This.

Thing is he isn't our best right back so wouldn't be playing.

Le Bris does seem to like playing fan favourites, I mean in what universe does O:Nien play ahead of Gerty man.

 

[Binxy]

Had a pretty decent game, still shouldn't be playing right wing like.

 

[Cult of Personality]

Its about opinions but what you state there about being better at right back than Gerty and arguably Nordi has no foundation at all. Ive already pointed out numerous issues this season even in his right position, but for you to suggest what you have is rediculous imo

And that’s your opinion. Based on like for like at RB, he’s performed better than both on average. The ‘foundation’ is…. The games they’ve all played there.

 

[Scootsie]

Made a lot of simple mistakes yesterday, imo.

Good player though and with a full season of experience at this level, I expect he’ll be a better player for it come next season.

 

[KGC83]

Had me foaming at the time. You need quality when in those positions, Hume just doesn’t have it

Which isn’t his fault as he’s a full back who can fill in across the back line. He isn’t a midfield player, even though he played quite well yesterday.

Definitely not his fault. I’m annoyed with the gaffer for the negative set up.

 

[The Hesk]

Competent right back but really shouldn’t be playing RW. Two pretty simple balls down the side for Brobbey and he basically passed it straight to Man Utd defender. Couple of crosses that didn’t beat the first man and very lucky to not get a yellow card pulling shirt back when opposition were attacking.
Play a PL level RW winger yesterday we win the game

 

[Derbla]

Did well, just tired I think

 

[hertsmackem]

Fantastic servant to the club and plays anywhere he is asked and never seems to complain. Never let us down ever

We haven’t got one that’s the point and that had to be our main priority come the summer.

 

[Big Bellyingham]

We wernt negative yesterday
We were very good whilst giving the team 3rd in the Premiership not a sniff !
Excellent performance-should have won
We are a newly promoted side going great -onwards and upwards

I'm not disagreeing that we need a permanent solution in the summer and for Hume to revert to being RB competition. But I can understand why he gets picked at the moment.

 

[Perryqhill]

It's kinda essential isn't it given the area he's playing in. In the past he's been there to allow Mukiele to bomb on and when Rigg was ahead of Mukiele recently we were far too open. But as much as he folds in defensively there has also been games like Fulham away where we gave far too much space because he was asked to do that and Fulham attacked for fun down there.

In the 2nd half Hume folding in and taking up the role allowed Geertruida to move into midfield at a time United were seeing a bit more of the ball, so there's good and bad in the role really from him, but anyone getting into the final third regularly needs to be more capable than he has been.

It's kinda acceptable this season given its first season up and we've had problems with wide players, but long term it shouldn't be something we see.
