Paul Hanlon

[hibbysam]

It’s an absolute travesty that man lost 4 goals today. Immense from start to finish today. Won everything and his range of passing is exemplary.

Strangely I thought all of the back 4 played quite well today even though we conceded 4 goals.

He played a big part in the opening goal he totally switched off thought Leigh would shoot the ball was played right to him he fluffed his clearance 5 secs later the ball was in the net.

Other than that he played well but has been far from flawless this season and made quite a few mistakes.

You might want to watch it again, Paul Hanlon was in the wall. One of my gripes about Laidlaw, a free kick from 35 yards out and he put our two centre backs in the wall.

Id love you to point out his mistakes today, he wasn’t at fault for any the first two goals, and was up the park for the 4th. Dealt with Griffiths absolutely excellently, as well as Roberts and Sinclair when they got in behind.

Outstanding today.

Should have gone to specsavers if that is the case who fluffed the clearance then ?

Surely who goes in a wall is a managers decision just like who picks up at set pieces. Goallies will be concentrating on the alignment of the wall not who stands in it. Having two centre halves in a wall seems a strange choice to me but then again not having men on posts at corners and zonal marking at set pieces seem odd to me too.

It should come down to circumstance. Laidlaw decided how many, and it should be him that decides who goes in the wall. On the edge of the area like Griffiths’ first free kick then I’d have them in the wall, but from 35 yards out I want my keeper having as much a sight of the ball as possible, and my centre halves defending.

Should have guessed I thought he was like a man short the whole game. I know peeps say he is played out of position but I don't get the love in with this "fantastic " player.

My apologies to Paul

Would agree with that. The captain on the pitch maybe has a role in trying to ensure players are in the right positions at set-pieces, but before they go on the field they should be clear about who is placed where. The skipper just reinforces that.

They would have been drilled about line-ups for direct and indirect kicks.

This isn't a Slivka thread but seeing as you've brought him up - he's a very decent player, technically well-equipped.

He will grow into a game as the season goes on and he adjusts to Scottish football. Playing more centrally will help but that's NL's decision.

Glad to hear that as he currently offers very little.

Would you drop him? If so, whom would you bring in and what shape?

He would not get in my team McGinn McGeoch are shoo in's and the other two in midfield would be would be Bartley and Swanson. We don't need shape let's just batter teams

Funny, that is my preferred 4 too. Slivka might be technically gifted, but his impact has been minimal in most of the games he has played. To be fair, he is playing out of position, which does him no favours.

[Onceinawhile]

Had the same thoughts. Martialed sparky all game and his distribution was fantastic. Some of his cross field balls were outrageous.

But.

We conceded 4 goals and he's a centre back, so he can't have played well.

[adhibs]

Hes been superb this season. Its surely only a matter of time, and a decent manager, until hes first choice at cb for scotland

[matty_f]

Hanlon is fantastic. Really underrated player but I think he is exceptional.

[Roxyhibee]

Hanlon brilliant today - and last week too.

When is he going to get a victory his performance levels merit...?

[Allant1981]

ive been very critical of hanlon previously but he is playing well at the moment, him and ambrose are a good CH partnership, both seem to stroll it most weeks

Hanlon decided to challenge Ambrose for the same ball that lead to celtic's first goal, if he'd stayed where he was he'd have cleared it or Ambrose would've dealt with it. Apart from that I thought he was our second best player yesterday behind mcgeouch.

None of them would’ve cleared it as Boyata who is about 6 inches taller than them both only just got a nick on to it. Ambrose was always under it so Hanlon had to go and try and put pressure on the header.

you don't have to clear it though...you just have to put Boyata off enough so he doesn't get a good connection...I think it was Hanlon's area..Ambrose should have left it..

That said, these things happen in football

Absolute nonsense, he didnt get anywhere near the cross that Ambrose challenged for, and the ball dropped into the space where Hanlon should have stayed.

We didnt need 2 men to go for that cross.

Wiki has Ambrose taller than Boyata?

There is not a man on this planet taller than Boyata lol, I couldn’t believe the size of him.

On a serious note, Ambrose was nowhere near it Hanlon didn’t affect him, but what he did do was put Boyata off enough so he didn’t get a clean header on it. At that point the man at the back post must tick around which he never done, and left lustig wrong side, and Laidlaw should’ve done better.

Clearly you have not actually seen the incident, Hanlon jumped into thin air and affected nothing. Its Ambrose who stopped Boyata getting a clean header.
