Dylan Levitt

[Donegal Hibby]

One of the things that's surprised me , is how many folk have picked Levitt in our team to play Peterhead.

While he is undoubtedly a talented player . I just don't think he does enough in games , certainly not a player imo that will take a game by the scruff of the neck for you , still not sure were in midfield he's best suited either , played deep or played higher up ..

Dundee Utd fans had this debate on him too which I think had them with split opinions .

He was a player that when I heard we were after him , was exciting about and wanted us to sign him though I've been disappointed in him so far tbh , maybe he's the type of midfielder that just needs better players around him .

Just wondering what your thoughts on him were as quite a few of you have picked him in the team this Saturday?

Brilliant ball for McKirdys goal. Confidence booster might do him good.

[Donegal Hibby]

He has that in his locker , seen him doing a brilliant cross ball to Boyle out on the wing in a recent game . I suppose I wish he'd would just get involved in games more , maybe just me though I do think he drifts out of games quite abit too .

[Since452]

I still rate him highly. Think this will be a big season for him.

[andrew70]

Levitt is without a doubt our best midfielder.

He is the better passer, he tackles with less fouling and comes up with a goal.

His effort is sometimes strained but I don’t think he’s been properly fit until now, certainly covering more grass of late.

In the formation we are playing with a ‘6’ and two 8s then Levitt is our best ‘6’.

[badabing67]

I think he offers much more in the forward areas no idea why we have being playing him so deep. Kinda reminds me of Mallan.

How opinions vary. I think he's really poor and nowhere near our best midfielder. The guy can't even keep up with opposition midfielders to tackle them! The amount of times opposition players run off his is mental. Slows the game down loads and we haven't seen anywhere near enough of his better aspects passing/long shots.

[Mango Man]

I think he seems to make more an impact from the bench, but I don't think he is Athletic enough to start, he is a painfully slow runner and just don't think he has the grit required for this league.

[Smartie]

Agreed, it’s like history repeating.

Obvious attacking attributes but the challenge is figuring how to compensate for the defensive weakness.

We never did find the answer for Mallan.

[LunasBoots]

When played correctly he's decent going forward, no so much of a fan of him when he's sat back to far back in midfield.

[Nicho87]

I just don’t see it.

Chicken hearted and we are no where near good enough to have half hearted non commital battlers in the first eleven currently

I’d move him on instantly

Thankfully we have a top recruitment team in place that know better than the paying punters

If we are picking players based on form he probably deserves to start as he’s been our best central midfielder in the last couple of games. That’s not saying much as our midfield hasn’t been great but none of them are good enough to be guaranteed starters.

He was poor awat at kelty. Don't have enough of the battling attributes for those games. He might be worth starting tomorrow though as he will get more space. Id still be moving him on though.

[Pretty Boy]

Has Leviit actually ever played in a more advanced role at any point in his career?

He certainly didn't at Dundee Utd and on the couple of occasions I have seen him for Wales he has played a deeper role. Of course you can still be an attacking threat from the classic 6 role (his goals to games ratio is pretty good in Scotland) but I have never seen him and thought he looked like a potential number 10 or an out and out attacking midfielder; none of his managers seem to either and indeed the player himself doesn't if his interviews are anything to go by.

It seems a perceived wisdom on here, and other social media, that Levitt would be a revelation played in a more advanced role but it seems no one involved in the game thinks the same.

[CapitalGreen]

He was still best midfield performer against Kelty, as I said the whole midfield has been poor.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as being advanced or deep. In his first season at Dun Utd when he won player of the year he played alongside Jeandro Fuchs who gave him license to roam and find pockets of space. Fuchs left and was never replaced. All of our midfielders would benefit from playing alongside a midfielder focussed on the defensive side of the game.

[EGL2000]

That's hardly much to be proud of! Definitely isn't the kind of performances we are looking for to force his way into the team.

I agree it's not as simple but 'get him further forward' seems to be an ongoing battle cry and I'm not sure where it stems from.

His entire career has been spent trying to pull the strings from a bit deeper and as you say when he is given time and space to do that then he will be effective. I'm not at all convinced his current struggles are down to 'playing too deep'.

Hard disagree. Wouldn't argue that he's probably the most technically gifted player we've got. Good vison and control when on the ball. Severely lacking in pace (as is most of the squad) and is so weak it's easy to see why most teams are able to play around in a game. Jogs about and goes missing far more than any player in the squad and looks lost against teams in the league. I'd be very suprised if the stats back up his tackling prowess. In duels, which the club love to use in determining a players contribution, I'd be amazed if he's anywhere near winning half of them.

I agree he's had a few decent games against 'lesser' oppostion but unless he's able to translate that to the league and improve his all round game then he's one of the first on the sheet to be moved on for me. I'm not going to completely rule him out mind given he does have that little bit of something just very doubtful we'll ever see it often enough to the point it outweighs his downsides.

Does Joe Newell play snooker? Come on. I actually don't mind Levitt but over the last year Newell has been miles clear.

"tackles with less fouls" he was 3rd highest booked player last season? Would have been highest had he not played 10 less games than Joe Newell (who happens to be our best midfielder)Chicken hearted as shown for the goal against Aberdeen at Hampden along with a few others.

Can't disagree more. Lord Lucan shows up more than Levitt does in our midfield. I'd get rid as soon as

I didnt really engage with the original post apart from dry sarcasm, but i totally agree with you. Im usually patient with players but Levitt would be first out of the door if i was in charge. Even the much lauded through ball for McKirdys goal was 60% good attempt 40% assist from a centre back who had decided to mistime the header to Mckirdy who scored while chomping on his cigar wearing slippers. Levitts through balls are generally woeful.

[andrew70]

Fair dos guys.

I disagree but that’s what it’s about, opinions.

I should caveat it all by saying we urgently need better than, even Levitt.

It’s a long term worry but one has been made captain, one our ‘number 10’ and the other (Levitt) is slated beyond belief. We urgently require a new midfield but worryingly it looks like we are sticking with the status quo.

Levitt will go on to do better than Hibs imo, the rest know how lucky they are to be here.

Said it several times last season and will know doubt have to this season until we sort the midfield we won’t improve but hey ho.

[Unseen work]

Thought he was one of our best players last Saturday and then was really good against Watford when he came on imo

Bags of ability, it’s just getting him to run a bit harder (which I think he’s doing) and having players which compliment him

[gramskiwood]

I like him. Too many people getting on players' backs before the season's even started.

[Numptie]

A good technical player with an eye for a pass, BUT, he is too slow and once he gets beaten he can't get back to help the defence. In a game where we have him further forward directing passes he is fine, but in a tight game where we need everyone to work hard for the team he just goes missing.

Well Stuart Lovell was saying during the Watford game, he said Levitt was usually played as a No.10 for DU.

[Bushwoof]

Arab fan of my acquaintance: "How's Dylan Levitt going for you guys?" Me: "Pretty poor TBH" Arab: "I'm not surprised. He got us relegated" Pretty much says it for me.

[CapitalGreen]

Stuart Lovell was wrong.

[EGL2000]

I didn’t say it was anything to be proud of.

But you did say he should be starting because of his form. A decent performance for 45 minutes in a friendly and a good cameo and goal in a game we were strolling isn't a lot to go on. He can look good in the easier games. It's the ones where we need fight he goes missing constantly.

[J-C]

Still unsure as to where in the midfield he plays, not strong enough for a number 6, not got the energy for a number 8, possibly a number 10 but Campbell seems to have that position due to his goals assists.
If we're playing Newell and Campbell, then Amos should be the other but he's showing nothing so far, NMW could be be. So where does Levitt fit in, will he be happy getting splinters every week, I doubt it, so far a huge disappointment.

[ChuckNor]

Levitt is a very good, technical player. I believe Gray will get the best out of him. He was wasted on Nick Montgomery, who was far too rigid tactically. I have no doubt Levitt will finish this season with a considerable number of both goals and assists.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Stuart Lovell was wrong.


He did say quite a few times that Levitt has been played out of position.

I really don’t see much of that at all. Defensively, he’s a liability as far as I’m concerned and I think he lacks any kind of athleticism. I agree he’s a talented player and a decent passer - tries things most of our other midfielders aren’t capable of. But overall, I just don’t see where he fits into our starting 11.

I just don’t see it (yet) but happy if he proves me wrong! He has no physicality and is very slow. He doesn’t track back and cover midfield runners in other team. Under pressure he panics. Under little pressure he can influence a game.

It was interesting listening to Stuart Lovel in commentary on Hibs tv saying he rated him highly and he was never a No 6, more a No 10.

Our whole central midfield is a defensive liability. There is no combination of our current central midfield options which is strong defensively.

[Smartie]

This is sadly true.

Newell, NMW, Campbell the best combo out of who we currently have.

[Bobby's Cinema]

I thought he looked pretty comfortable the other night when afforded time and space on the ball and the game being played at walking pace.His lack of physicality and athleticism let's him down badly. Just don't think he is a guy you can look to week after week and in the sort of away grounds we want to do well in. Just feels like a continual gradual slipping of standards over a period of years now and what is seen as acceptableLet's hope he is like a new signing this year because it has been a massive disappointment.

[The Modfather]

This is sadly true.

Newell, NMW, Campbell the best combo out of who we currently have.

Which is just a raw NMW, who I like but think he’s still adjusting to first team football so we will need to be patient, away from the dreaded midfield 3. It’s almost impressive to be in that position despite the millions we’ve spent on the squad.

[Springbank]

Arab fan of my acquaintance: "How's Dylan Levitt going for you guys?" Me: "Pretty poor TBH" Arab: "I'm not surprised. He got us relegated" Pretty much says it for me.

He is a relegation level defensive mid

He may have something as an attacking mid

But he would need us to play 451 (with say a paceman like Boyle as the 1) to thread balls to while having 8 men behind him

[Tyler Durden]

The most natural holding midfielder that we have IMO would be Amos. Totally appreciate he hasn’t shown anywhere near enough yet but I find it a bit odd that Gray has tried him in a more advanced role.

I would let him play as the anchor and have Newell and NMW/Rudi/Levitt in front of him.

Ultimately we know that Campbell isn’t good enough. The other players still have a chance for me if we change the set up. Having said that, Levitt just doesn’t seem to have the legs wherever you put him

[matty_f]

I think he's got all the potential to be a top midfielder in this league but the thing that stops him is that you never see a desire from him to be the one that dictates or even necessarily impacts the game.


Contrast with Newell who, despite being inconsistent, has been the one that sets the tone on countless occasions for us and tries to make things happen.

Levitt is too comfortable to let a game pass him by, if he could get that spark within himself to want to be themain man on the pitch, he's got all the tools to be a cracking player.

So far though, we've only seen it in flashes and that's not good enough for us just now. He needs to up his game to stay.

I don’t know a thing about Amos tbh, but you’re not alone in suggesting that he might be a main man in our midfield. Where does all this optimism come from? I’ve seen very little in his minutes on the pitch for us to indicate that he’ll be an improvement of what we already have sadly.

[GreenArmy1875]

Brilliant ball for McKirdys goal. Confidence booster might do him good.

Without trying to bad mouth him...it wasnt a brilliant ball. Porto made a poor error. Most other CBs step onto that or make good contact. The vision to see the pass was good tho.

I've been critical of Campbell in the past but I do think if his role is to impact the game in the box then we can utilise him. He has scored a good amount of goals for us and I do think playing him higher up and in the box is his best position. We just need to find out if we can afford that luxury.

[Forza Fred]

Our midfield needs improvement if we are to have top 4 aspirations


Unfortunately it doesn’t seem that it will be

He’s played at a higher level than any of our midfielders, probably any of the squad full stop. He had c100 games in the Championship in centre midfield and lots of them as a defensive midfielder.

It’s not a question of ability with him, it’s whether we can get him to 80/90% of the player he was in the past. Currently looks to me like he’s doubting himself as much as anything, some of the passes against Kelty were awful…. He needs to build his confidence which I think could come with a run of games.

I’d have him as the deepest midfielder as I think he has the defensive instinct that Newell lacks. And we’ve tried them all with a run of games already. Amos has not had that chance as yet

Amos was dreadful against Kelty but I don't think that was reflective of his ability. I do think there's more to come from him and he'll be a starter for most of the season.

Newell has 150 championship games tbf.

I don't mind Amos. Needs football and fitness. Id start him today.

When the chips are down, you just can't see him taking control of a game and turning it around. He just doesn't seem to have the requisite aggression/passion necessary to really boss a midfield.

[ekhibee]

Newell played most of his games for Rotherham on the left, he wasn't really centre mid with them although he sometimes stood in for injured players. Not sure where he played with Peterboro mind you.

[Donegal Hibby]

He might start today though imo our best midfield is Newell, NMW and Campbell, both Levitt and Amos were poor against Kelty . Play your best team and get the job done early today.

[supermcginn]

He might start today though imo our best midfield is Newell, NMW and Campbell, both Levitt and Amos were poor against Kelty . Play your best team and get the job done early today.

Newell, Amos and Levitt are the 3 midfielders with the most footballing ability, Amos needs games to get sharp and prove himself. NMW and Campbell are poor technically but work hard.

[Eyrie]

Newell, Amos and Levitt are the 3 midfielders with the most footballing ability, Amos needs games to get sharp and prove himself. NMW and Campbell are poor technically but work hard.

And in Scottish football being a hard worker is what most teams need from their midfield, which is why Moriah-Welsh and Campbell are likely starters in most games.

Levitt is technically very good but lacks the work rate and defensive awareness to be a reliable player, let alone a stand out. The fact he could embarrass any of us at fives is less important than a half hearted jog back in the semi final against Aberdeen when Boyle buried himself trying to cover.

[Brightside]

Well Stuart Lovell was saying during the Watford game, he said Levitt was usually played as a No.10 for DU.

Lovell is wrong

[basehibby]

Dylan has undoubted footballing talent - but his performance out of possession has been lacking in his Hibs career thus far and that's seen him slip down the pecking order somewhat. It's not the glamorous side of football but it's essential we perform well in that department if we're to have a good season.

[erin go bragh]

I just don’t see it.

Chicken hearted and we are no where near good enough to have half hearted non commital battlers in the first eleven currently

I’d move him on instantly

Thankfully we have a top recruitment team in place that know better than the paying punters

The same recruitment team that signed him.
Changed the cup game up at Inverness when he came on but has to be played as a no 10 imo as never in a million years is he a six.

[JimBHibees]

Our whole central midfield is a defensive liability. There is no combination of our current central midfield options which is strong defensively.

Agree with that

[hibsbollah]

On the bench today.

[Donegal Hibby]

On the bench today.

Thought he would be , he's talented but hasn't shown it often enough.

[Brightside]

Very good second half today. Tries much more aggressive passes than Newell.

[Wheat Hound]

Made a positive difference today

[Mikey_1875]

If he can replicate that against Premiership teams I will be happy. I’m not convinced he can but hopefully I’m wrong.

[Real Emerald]

Very good second half today. Tries much more aggressive passes than Newell.

Yep, Newell usually wants to slow it down and turn. Levitt can be much more direct. He has other issues but he can definitely get us moving quickly with good passes.

[GreenPJ]

Our speed of play quickened considerably when Dylan came on for Joe. He played some good passes that found their men and tried some others that didn't but that's ok. I was impressed with what I saw of him today.

[Carheenlea]

Our speed of play quickened considerably when Dylan came on for Joe. He played some good passes that found their men and tried some others that didn't but that's ok. I was impressed with what I saw of him today.

That was encouraging today that he was able to dictate the pace of our game at a higher tempo than the oowning 45. Obviously the standard of opposition was very weak, but that’s what we want to see from Levitt. I’d want to see the tempo a lot quicker regardless of who’s playing, but he’s certainly one that can strive to do that.

[hibsbollah]

Im a big critic but two fantastic through balls today, at any level just top quality. Keep it up.

[flash]

He would be in my team as things stand.

Only player we have who can play those in-between passes that defences hate.

[supermcginn]

Has to start next week, hopefully at number 10.

[B.H.F.C]

Our speed of play quickened considerably when Dylan came on for Joe. He played some good passes that found their men and tried some others that didn't but that's ok. I was impressed with what I saw of him today.

Almost as soon as he came on he played two forward passes, quickly, that set us away for the fourth goal.

yep

[CapitalGreen]

Would be good if his fellow midfielders followed his lead in passing it forward more often.

[Hiber-nation]

Miles better than Newell today but how he would fare against an aggressive St Mirren team is another matter.

[Jones28]

Did well today. His forward passing was excellent and he was trying to push the game forward.

He’s the only midfielder that will have a dig from range as well which I like.

The free kick was…well the less said the better.

Late in the game against league 2 opposition he has time on the ball, he won’t get that when we play better teams and he will struggle.

He had the same amount of time on the ball as Newell was getting but was more positive with it.

[The Tubs]

He's made a positive contribution on a few occasions when he's on the ball. As many others have mentioned before, it's his work off the ball that's the problem.

He didn’t need time. He did it quickly, it was his first thought.

I was his biggest critic last season but I think he’s looked decent and tried to be positive when he’s played, right from the first game against Edinburgh City.

My United pal told me he could play a wordly but not to man for a relegation dogfight. Which is where United found themselves and with us slipping it I bottom half didn’t help. Jury out… almost seemed like he was not for celebrating his goal the other day. Body language was mixed. Hopefully he can get the opportunity to flourish.

He doesn't look happy, never a smile on his face and as you said it was a struggle for him to celebrate his goal, does he think because he's came from Man U that he's too good for us.

That’s some conclusion you’ve came to

That’s some conclusion you’ve came to

Only trying to figure out what is actually wrong with the guy, came with a solid background at Man U and then Dundee U but has shown absolutely nothing apart from the odd pass here and there, he just doesn't look like he's enjoying himself here.

[wookie70]

I thought he did well again and could be an option off the bench. He looked a bit fitter and faster too but that may have been the opposition that made it look that way. The one thing in his favour is that he is different to the other midfielders. Much more forward thinking when passing the ball and able to play the ball consistently though gaps to move the opposition about.

I thought that signing Amos would be a great signing if we could get him fit, but he's been at the club a while now and looks nowhere near fit yet.

Likewise and I am surprised at how little game time he has earned so far. Gray obviously sees him every day so happy to trust his judgement on it and his only competitive start against Kelty was a very poor display. There are four centre mids ahead of him in the pecking order at the moment now so he will need to buck his ideas up if he is to have any sort of career here.

I thought Levitt done well and looked good when he came on , in saying that I think he got plenty of space and time while against a team like St Mirren he'd not get that .That's when I will be most interested in seeing how he plays then .

It is time
