Nuri Sahin

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

 

So whilst he's looked excellent against Norwich and Udinese

 

He was also superb against West Brom. He wasn't ready against Arsenal - scrap that match. He wasn't at the races vs Stoke either, but the ball was going over his head. That's it.

He wasn't ready against Arsenal, sure, but I think that was his first start for us so it means nothing. I can't say I particularly remember his performance against West Brom I'm afraid, but from what I remember it was not an overtly physical contest.

 

In his last two starts, against Stoke and Reading who play a physical, defensive style, the game has largely passed him by and he looked tired when he was withdrawn after sixty minutes. In my opinion, Shelvey should get the start against Everton.

 

I realise that's not going to convince you, but it seems to be the prevailing opinion in the thread, so you'll either have to rail against the injustice of it all or simpy agree to disagree, I'm afraid. Either way, I've said my piece.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I don't agree against Reading. I'd be surprised to see Shelvey start, regardless of what a small number of people on this thread think.

 

I think Jonjo was much worse against Reading than Sahin. We started to come under real pressure when he came on.

It's not a small number, it's the majority of respondents, but if it makes you feel better to say so ...

Bottom line for Sahin is within the next couple of months he is going to have to prove to be a better option in the middle than Gerrard - probably markedly so - to get games. If the number 21 comes back good he and Allen are surely in the side, for the better.

Nice problem to have.

[zigackly]

I'd say it's a marginal matter of preference by the way Hank, and certainly nothing to get excited about.

[sir roger]

I am surprised by posters who ignore the fact that you always have injuries and loads of games to manage & say ' I can't see X getting a game when Y is back'.

 

All of the players mentioned in this thread will get plenty of game-time.

[TheHowieLama]

Should say first choice games - plenty of domestic cup and UEFA to go around. Would really like to see Suso given a chance in the middle in some of those tbh.

Crunch games in the league are a different matter.

It's both, but if it makes you feel better to be inaccurate...

 

;)

[Jairzinho]

Its a bigger number than some small numbers.

[zigackly]

Sahin is slower than some fast players.

[TheHowieLama]

More than you think but less than you want.

He has beenable to get into more goal scoring positions in 5 games than Lucas have in 5 years, I like him and for me he was among our best players on Saturday, we fell apart when he went off like Numero Moody suggested earlier.

 

Numero is wrong most of the time but this time he is right.

[Mathewbet1]

He still don't look fully fit which is worrying.

The endorsement of death.

Righteous...

Personally, I'm excited at the prospect of a midfield three with Lucas anchoring and Suso and Allen being busy and tidy further upfield, clever passes, clever movement.

Another kiss of death, this one from Unfunnneeeeeeeeee, who is closing in on Codey, lebron, Antynwa and co for being wrong about almost everything, all of the time

More expected than worrying i'd say.

[smilezzz]

Sahin looks a proper player for most of the match. Once he settles and gains more fitness i think we'll see more moments of brilliance (like that awesome ball to Sterling) and more late runs in the box.

 

That being said, i wouldn't be adverse to seeing a midield 3 of Allen, Lucas and Shelvey.

 

Allen in particular is a delight to watch. Excellent control, rarely misplaces a pass, not bad in a tackle, and is deceptively quick. He's everything I hoped Spearing would be.

How do you rate Sahin SL?

[silverlining]

Unfit and slow.

 

I hope he improves both, if he doesn't he can fuck off.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Still judging him on the Arsenal game.

[fowler9]

I like him but it is clear he needs to improve his fitness, reminds me of Fabregas with his runs into the box

Love that you've packed me in along the thousands of posts from the others in that group. Must mean that we fundamentally disagree on things (which iis something you can't handle). As I think you're wrong about just about everything regarding football and LFC, I take every insulting post and neg from you as a compliment:yes:
