NurembergVillan Posted December 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2018 2 hours ago, AvfcRigo82 said: He was not at the races today. He was playing more CB than LB if you didn't know any better. Time after time he left the LB area bare and out of position and got away with it a few times. As I say, not his best performance but as @OutByEaster? says, he is good enough at this level and for the remainder of the season until someone better is brought in for that position. He's really not good enough for this level. The only tactical tweak Bielsa seemed to make at half time was bringing on that winger and telling his widemen to hug the touchline. Both Hutton and Elmo were coming so narrow there was acres of space. Every match it's the same. West Brom another prime example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I've said before his positioning is terrible. For a full back he plays too centrally giving the wide players too much space, no denying his determination but needs replacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were trying to catch them offside and he was also the wrong side of his man most of the time today. Letting that Macedonian guy get goal side time after time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2018 He’s always done that. Played really narrow and allows the winger the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Garbage him and Elmo need to be removed from this squad. They still stench of bruce on this side and as well as nyland the pathetic weak links of the team letting the fans, and thwir team mates down week in and out.

Yeah, I wouldn't even say Bielsa outsmarted us because it's so blatantly obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton was here long before Bruce, but Elmo and Nyland though yep I agree. In time they will all be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, which is not a very good tactic when your CBs are under 6 ft and your keeper sticks to the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Thought Hutton had a poor game. His direct opponent (Alioski) managed to get 13 crosses in which just highlights how poor Hutton was never mind he was very lucky not to give a penalty away. Needs to eventually be replaced but we don't have many other options at the moment. Edited December 24, 2018 by Brumstopdogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I didn't see the game but he's always going to struggle against an opponent like Alioski. Against most opponents at this level though and considering what else he brings to the table, he is more than adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hutton was disgusting, Alioski had his easiest game of the season, a card board cut out of Hutton would have given Alioski just as much to think and worry about. Hutton must be replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm never been Hutton's biggest fan but I don't think he is the problem. At 34 he shouldn't be playing every game and shouldn't be filling in at left back because of lack of options there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he does play every match tells you part of a story, why we are still down here. When he is good he is very good, when he is bad he is awful....that's what you get when most players get old, inconsistency, just like young players. We need more 23-28 year olds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
