Dylan Levitt

[Torto7062]

Am I missing something with this lad ?
I know a couple of UTD lads who swore blind we had signed a gem, but I've yet to be convinced

[JohnM1875]

Nah, you’re missing absolutely nothing.

Potentially formation doesn’t suit him? But we need much better than him.

[VoltaireHibs]

Think he needs to be played in the Scotty Allan role, make the most of his passing in a less high risk position. What I will say is that in his time at Hibs he has rarely looked like he's enjoying himself.

[Silky]

A bit like us fans then?

[eastmainsmsh]

Looks tidy on ball at times but too similar to Newell

[Smartie]

Agree with all points here tbh.

Also worth saying that imo he was far from his worst tonight. A bit quiet but not really terrible.

We've had a few team performances when Jeggo played next to Newell in midfield and tbh the team has looked better with those 2 in there than with Levitt in beside Newell so I'd be playing them together for the foreseeable.

[Del Boy]

Scored some absolutely stunning goals for United in his first season there but from Utd fans I know he wasn’t much good last year when they got relegated but they put that down to the poor players around him and hopeless managers

[Trinity Hibee]

He’s a number 10 in my book

[DaveF]

An average player in an average team. Should be and will be punted to the lower leagues in due course.

[supermcginn]

The clamour for him to sign in the summer was bizarre, he'd just played a big part in a relatively big club in Scottish terms being relegated, he's not what we need at all.

[JohnM1875]

He’s a number 10 in my book

He’s barely ever played there for any team.

Same chat as Cadden and playing him further forward.

[Smartie]

He really polarised opinions amongst the fans at United. One of my mates who is a United fan is fairly vitriolic in his dislike of him which I actually find quite weird. I wanted him to be wrong but now I've watched a bit of Levitt I sort of understand his point.

I know other fans of United who loved him, many of whom were saying many of the things we are - that they struggled because they just couldn't find the best way to use him. They were largely of the opinion that he had one-paced keech ahead of him and that with some quick players around him to get the ball to that he'd start to pick out passes and be dangerous again.

[#2 Double Tap]

he's a number 10, playing as a deep play maker, pretty much the same as newell...........they only play well in that role.......the no,10 role

[SneakersO'Toole]

Heart of a mouse.

Couldn't impose himself on his morning toast.

So far, a tragic waste of money.

[Unseen work]

Said on another thread but the phase of play when Baningime skinned him twice and then he tried to nail him but got Campbell instead was just embarrassing.

He needs to play higher up and he needs to play with more intensity about him.

It almost feels pointless saying what we would be like with players in different positions in a different formation as Montgomery simply won’t change it - which is odd because he can still implement the exact same style of play by tweaking the formation slightly

[Tyler Durden]

Nope

Not a 10. Never been a 10. Probably only Rangers in this league who actually play with a number 10 FFS. Is Levitt same type of player as Cantwell?

[Paulie Walnuts]

From what we’ve seen of him so far he’s just not good enough. One paced with no stand out attributes.

I don’t even think he’d be a good 10 as so many seem to suggest though. What has he shown to make people think that? One good assist for Tavares?

Folk said the same about Mallan and I’d have Mallan over him every day of the week.

[Trinity Hibee]

He’s barely ever played there for any team.

Same chat as Cadden and playing him further forward.

Doesn’t mean he can’t play there. Him and newell both in CM doesn’t work.

[jeffers]

I thought he was good tonight til he tired. Go figure.

[Pretty Boy]

There's a lot of talk about playing him further forward but he never seems to have played there and has said himself that he is a deep lying midfielder. Surely every manager he has had and the man himself can't all be missing it if it is that obvious that he should be a 10? Is it a bit like the Hanlon as a defensive midfielder chat that was heard for years? A great idea until you actually try it.

He's fairly neat and tidy and has some nice passes in his locker but there is an element of flattering to deceive about him so far at Hibs imo.

[Nicho87]

Fine if you like a fancy pass one is 25

Other than that not good enough

However in a 3 further forward he would do better

Never a player there to do it in just a two

[Trinity Hibee]

We are in danger of doing the same with levitt as we did with Mallan. Both are no. 10s but we want them to control games from deep

[GreenCastle]

Reminds me of Mallan - but least Mallan had a quality free kick.

[JohnM1875]

We are in danger of doing the same with levitt as we did with Mallan. Both are no. 10s but we want them to control games from deep

Mate, he’s absolutely not a 10

[one day maybe...]

Needs to stand in front of the mirror, slam the nut on it and watch the blood trickle down his forehead.
Then say to himself you’re not *** better than me., Get kicked, get punched but get up and fight for every *** ball

[wookie70]

Must be one of the least athletic players I have seen and that makes it a very hard gig with two in the middle. If by some miracle he gets a team of players who are running into space in front of him he could be a star. As it is we are devoid of movement and people finding space so his qualities don't count for much and his weaknesses in terms of speed and strength are more in play.

[LewysGot2]

The formation works against him. He'd be better in a 3. Two in the middle exposes his limitations as opposed to utilising his strengths.

[Unseen work]

I’m not sure about an out an out 10 as such, but just higher up. He’s got good vision, good range of passing and a good strike but we’re not seeing it in good enough areas.

He can play a good ball from the back or through the lines, but it leave the attackers with still 40 yards to go.

[Boyle89]

This. The only time I can remember him playing as a 10 this season he slipped a beautiful ball into doidge against the andorrans at home. Think doidge scored but it was ruled offside. Him and newell dont work when they both drop so deep and can be marked out the game by one man.

I’ve defended both but I think Levitt sums up Montgomery style to date

There is a general lack of intensity, aggression, desire and it’s all too pedestrian.

Levitt can pass a ball but he must realise we need more than that

[The Modfather]

He’s been a nothing player for Hibs. Badly need a partner for Newell.

[#2 Double Tap]

Mate, he’s absolutely not a 10

he is, might not be good enough, but playing that advanced cm role is where he should play.........he defo aint no deep playmaker.

[Stanton Spence]

Still a lot more questions than answers about him and looks to have ability but he’s another player we have who looks like he would rather be somewhere else and playing with fear instead of enjoying the game

[Scottie]

Slower than a week in Saughton. So disappointed in what I’ve seen of him this season.

[Smartie]

Nope

Not a 10. Never been a 10. Probably only Rangers in this league who actually play with a number 10 FFS. Is Levitt same type of player as Cantwell?

He looks like he's got a nice weight of pass and possibly has a wee drop of the shoulder to make space and make a pass.

There are aspects of his game that just look so grossly deficient for a central midfielder though.

This all sounds a bit Scott Allan, and when a team was built around him he flourished. When a team wasn't built around him and similar sort of stuff was expected of him as was expected of other midfielders, he generally sank without trace.

Levitt really reminds me of Scott Allan tbh, who also may have benefitted from his first season for us being against Dumbarton, Alloa and the like.

What Levitt absolutely 100% isn't is a player who can play in a deep position for a team that is going to win enough games and meet expectations at a decent level. He might manage that if he dropped a division or 3 but he's never going to do that at our level.

[Steve-O]

Has he actually had a shot for us yet? He scored a few spectacular goals at Utd but is nowhere near it?

Looks like another Stevie Mallan, minus the goals

I wish Levitt reminded me of Scott Allan. Unfortunately, I think he just looks like a player who isn’t particularly good and on top of that, is being thrown under the bus a bit by our system.

He doesn’t remind me in the slightest of Scott Allan. Not even close for me. Far more like McGeouch in he’s neat on the ball and turns well on it.

Think comparing him to Allan is a wild shout.

[jeffers]

I like him. I agree with comparisons to Scott Allan, I definitely see similarities. Said it before if Monty had been appointed in the summer I doubt he’d have signed Levitt though. We are not getting the best out of him in a midfield two.

[Hiber-nation]

Really thought he'd have kicked on by now. Don't know if it's just down to the system but his form is a worry. Awful tonight.

[CentreForward]

Shocked by what I have seen of him so far. Given all the hype and anticipation he’s been an incredibly disappointing signing.

[BILLYHIBS]

Should be played further forward in a #10 Scott Allan role as has shown the potential already this season to thread a well weighted pass and had a decent record at United for scoring goals

The further away from our defence after St Johnstone the better 😀

Noticed he was well away from our box tonight probably on orders

[penihibs]

Think he needs to be played in the Scotty Allan role, make the most of his passing in a less high risk position. What I will say is that in his time at Hibs he has rarely looked like he's enjoying himself.

Couldn't lace Scott Allan's boots.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Played in the wrong place....

[Stevie Reid]

A luxury we can’t afford right now. Capable of striking a ball beautifully at times, but he often just gives the ball away, even with quite simple passes.

Games just pass him by far too often, he’s a bit like Mallan without the goals right now.

Should be more than capable of dropping balls in behind for our forwards to run on to, but I think Will Fish has done that more successfully than him this season.

Looking like an expensive mistake right now. The poster that said he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying his football was spot on.

[Jones28]

I’m not seeing it. Whatever it was he had is yet to appear for Hibs imo, and I’d far rather Jeggo in there who is at least a known quantity.

[ehf]

I thought he was good tonight til he tired. Go figure.

I usually agree with your posts but thought Levitt was very poor tonight.

[Exuberance1875]

Good game tonight or not, players like Dylan Levitt are not the issue in my opinion, we need to ask questions of Miller, Rocky, Campbell etc. also players that have been here for some time and have turned over manager after manager.

These are the players that need called into question before people like levitt, for me he has the right talent for it.

[darwenhibby]

Let’s be honest
He’s weak and pish
We need a tough ball winning midfielder

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

I've not been impressed by him at all. I thought he'd be a top player for Hibs. Not seen it so far unfortunately.

[Chorley Hibee]

The poster that said he doesn’t look like he’s enjoying his football was spot on.

I'm not enjoying it either.

[Real Emerald]

He’s definitely not a defensive midfielder, he couldn’t attack fish supper. He could do well sitting middle midfield and spraying passes, who knows. BUT he’s definitely not a defensive midfielder.

[marinello59]

:agree:

He is being played out of position for reasons only our manager understands.

[J-C]

He's a deep playmaker who isn't playmaking, last night I lost count the number of times he came deep, took the ball and immediately passed it back to the CH 4 yards away, rinse and repeat with the very odd ball played forwards. Yet to be convinced but he's looking like another bang average midfielder who's been over hyped.

[Northernhibee]

It’s what we’ve specialised in signing in recent years.

[Northernhibee]

:agree:

The same position he played at Dundee United?

[Carheenlea]

Jimmy Jeggo might not be as technically good as Levitt, but he offers us more intensity in midfield.

You don’t need to be that technically gifted to pass in triangles in your own half.

He never lasts a full game so you have to question how fit he actually is? I’d give Jeggo a start next week in his place.

I don’t think having Jeggo in there would’ve made us any better last night. They’re currently third in the table and in good form. We stopped them creating anything until the last hoof up the park and a massive Rocky **** up.

The only thing Jeggo would have achieved in place of Levitt would’ve been us conceding possession of the ball more often, in my opinion.

[tonyrougier123]

Yet to see what folk were raving about from this lad,lightweight anonymous mostly,but inline with the type of midfielder we seem hell bent on signing recent seasons,we have a lacklustre midfield.

[flash]

If you watch his highlight reel from the really good season he had at United it almost all happens in the opponent's half.

He can play killer passes and he can score too.

We have so many players not playing in their best positions that it can't possibly work.

[GreenCastle]

He’s probably not enjoying playing 3v2 most weeks. It’s a lot of running for a midfielder and like Allan and Mallan who are currently much superior players prefers the ball at his feet.

We basically have 2 players in central midfield who don’t like running and doing the dirty work to win the ball back. Don’t forget Newell was a winger when he signed for Hibs.

[BSEJVT]

The incident where he injured Campbell just reminded me so much of Stevie Mallan ( who IMO pre injury was a far far better player)

He cant track the guy running off him, couldn't impose himself in the joust for possession that followed and was was totally outmuscled and then stuck a despairing leg into a tackle he was nowhere near winning.

We know we are in trouble when neither of our defensive midfielders can tackle properly

[Springbank]

It's honestly like watching a school kid who won a competition to wear the no6 jersey for a season

Operation Sell Levitt in January please

:agree: How I see it. Being asked to play in a formation that isn’t getting the best out of a player who has a lot of ability. He’s not a defensive midfielder in a million years.

[WeeRussell]

It’s honestly not. Didn’t even have a particularly poor game last night.

I can’t see our manager actively trying to sell a player next week, who starts every game now. Be better just hoping he starts showing the form that so many of us hoped for when we signed him.

[The Captain....]

Absolutely not a player you want in a big game. He's just there without imposing himself on it. Another (expensive) empty jersey. He's far from alone in not being good enough, generally and specifically last night.

[neil7908]

Him and Newell don't work together and based on performances, Newell stays over him all day long for me.

Levitt is a decent passer but some of his defending is laughably bad. I felt that he was poor for the Aberdeen goal in the semi final, and last night there was an incident which summed him up for me where Binigame went by him like he was a ghost.

I'm fully supportive of the manager but it does feel like we have a lot of square pegs in round holes at the moment.

Miller is another that has his qualities but is his passing good enough for the style we are playing? Is Boyle consistent enough up front? Can Campbell really play right midfield?

[Greenbeard]

So annoying when we go backwards off his possession, too often ending up with Rocky having to play it forward (who they left free to take a pass for good reason), then some know-it-all I-know-football-better-than-you types loudly applaud, and not in a sarcastic way.
I actually thought he wasn't as poor last night as he has been - he did get stuck in sometimes - but he's still not good enough.

[lyonhibs]

Reminds me of Mallan - but least Mallan had a quality free kick.

I'd swap him for Mallan in a heartbeat

[LeithMike]

Let’s be honest

Overall he’s been poor but there have been two or three games where he has looked really good and there is no doubt there is a quality player there.

When you think we play with a midfield of two of Levitt and Newell then it’s no surprise that we lack a bit of intensity and physicality and one wonders whether Levitt would be far better picking the ball up further up from a more physical player in the mould of Marvin Bartley.

I’m not sure though that NM sees a player like that in his team. We are definitely very flat in midfield and our central two rarely get close to the forward line leaving a big gap.

I think Levitt has the making of a very good player for us but we need to play to his strengths and get someone to do the dirty work for him.

I would say Levitt is a luxury player much like Allan was. If he is further up the pitch then I think he could add some value but in our rigid formation he ends up a weak point when we don't have the ball much like Scottie was. One luxury is fair enough in some games but I don't think Boyle works anywhere near as hard as he did and when you bring Youan on we have 3 players who aren't doing much off the ball. I agree that the formation will mean that Levitt will never likely fit in and the same could be said of quite a few others. I think Obita and Miller would both be better wingbacks as their strengths seem to be their engines and both can get balls into the box. They mostly play the full game in our half. Vente plays far too deep and ends up wrecked which means he is less likely to take chances, Boyle is better wide and Newell is better when he is less relied on for defensive duties. Very few players in thee team are playing in a way that suits them from what I can see so they stop being instinctive and fast thinking and revert to safe and passing the buck. At least Elie is being himself but that means he no longer starts. He provided more entertainment in a few minutes than the rest of the team did for the full game and I get the feeling it wouldn't have been welcomed from the bench. My way or the highway is fine when we get the points but it will unravel fairly quickly if we continue to lose games and spend most of them aimlessly passing it about defenders

:agree: He has real quality being wasted in the formation he’s being utilised in. All the chat from him and the club has been that he’s a 6, but would it really hurt to try him in a more advanced role ?

That means changing formation so it’ll never happen.

It’s currently hurting having him as the 6. He needs to be dropped imo. 19 appearances with 0 goals and 1 assist whilst he’s also immobile and poor at the defensive side of the game. He’s offering absolutely nothing.

Add to the list of players totally wasted in the way we now play. We’ve recruited a manager totally at odds with the players of quality that we do have. That’s a very long game to play if you have to change the whole squad and there’s no way that any coaching team gets that long if it’s not enjoyable and we aren’t winning.

Levitt actually did really well in a 442 v Luzern but that was an aggressive and attacking performance with our winger playing as wingers and giving our midfield players someone to give the ball to in attacking areas.

[sauzeelegod]

Just play him as an 8 ffs.
3 in the middle.
Jeggo as the 6.
Newell and Levitt as 8’s

[EGL2000]

he's a number 10, playing as a deep play maker, pretty much the same as newell...........they only play well in that role.......the no,10 role

His best games for united were all sitting deeper.

[snedzuk]

He was forward last night when he gave the ball away and had to take a booking. He was at the back when he gave the ball away against St Johnstone and they scored. I'm hoping he gets better, but I'm hoping not necessarily expecting.

[Real Emerald]

He can’t tackle which is quite important for a defensive midfielder.

Players are always going to make mistakes though - and it's preferable that he takes a booking up the other end of the park to giving away a goal like he did against St Johnstone. Further up the park you're more likely to get the benefit of what seems to be his strength - his passing ability - even if we haven't seen much end product from him in a Hibs shirt yet.

He got booked last night cos of a poor pass from Joe Newell, not because he gave the ball away. Newell apologised to him for the pass.

It’s also a squad that lost to every team in the league last season and would go on losing streaks out if the blue. It also lost the first 3 games where the performances were worse than the actual result’s while playing the to the strengths of the squad in the fabled 433. Montgomery or not, It’s not a squad I’d want to invest much time and energy into as can’t wait for it to be broken up.

[B.H.F.C]

He was right to do what he did to stop the counter there.

That passage of play just summed us up though. Ball in a good area, no composure, no real idea what to do and nobody really taking any responsibility.

I think you’ll get your wish. Not sure how much in January, but certainly by the summer, as long as Montgomery makes it that far. Whatever folk think of him, he’s going to do things his way and isn’t going to be bothered about making any unpopular decisions in terms of outgoings. He’s already done that to a lesser extent with Hanlon and Stevenson having changed roles.
