Nuri Sahin

[Gibbo]

Tried to get stuck in today which im happy about, he'd still adjusting.

Should be played further up the pitch.

[Fredo]

I think he was alright. Just wasn't the type of game for him as our passing was off. Suso also got subbed, which indicates that it wasn't a game for passers, OR we couldn't dominate/impose our style. It's not about being bullied off the park. We just didn't have enough cool heads to impose our style. Sahin was trying to play, so can't blame him for that.

[Imy]

As excited as i was about Sahin, at this point he's been quite disappointing.
IMO Shelvey should be starting ahead of him.

[danperkins]

Sahin has struggled in the premier league. When Lucas is fit I wonder where he ll fit in? Think we hyped sahin up too much... As we do.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I've watched him for a while was really hoping he could hit the ground running but my main issue is how much his lack of pace is affecting him.

Nice touches, clever runs. We as team aren't really playing to his strengths and when we lose possession he's basically stuck in the mud.

Hopefully it works out for him because if he gets to the level he was done in the past at Dortmund we'll be lucky to keep hold of him.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Maybe we know we can't afford his wages.. So we're making him look **** to put off the likes of Tottenham/Arsenal/Chelsea

[Fredo]

How many games has he played? I think it's unrealistic to expect he was going to be world class straight away. He's already scored twice, played well in 3/4 of the games he's played. What do people expect?

[yamiedo]

Hes a guy who needs a lot of time on the ball. Doesn't get enough of that in the EPL but as its been mentioned, it is way too early to judge.

Don't know what your on about mate, he needs to at least go past every member of the opposing team and score or he's ****.

[JohnDoe]

He needs to not hide from the game when the other team are playing aggressively.

Every time the opposition presses us, he disappears.

[Shaggy]

It's still very early days for him. He's coming off practically a year without any meaningful football. He's a lot better than he's shown and I still think he'll be a big player for us.

Who has called him ****? Anyone?

Shelvey came on today and showed he's better suited and the better option for us (At the moment)

No doubt Sahin is quality but he was invisible today, like has been said before he didn't get much of the ball but it's also on him to go looking for it. Like Shelvey did when he came on, took in from the CB's which I didn't see Sahin do once.. Shelvey also put the ball over the top that Sterling got fouled from and also dragged the ball to the edge of the Everton box and shot wide.

To me that shows Shelvey being deep, central and advanced. Sahin today didn't do a single one of those. He'll come good either for us or someone else but people seem to think he should have some right to not take a bit of stick and to be fair it hasn't even been stick.

[baitman]

unless his form sky rockets then i reckon we wont be buying him.

15m+ and then hes going to want 120k+ per week. nah.

he will be a good stop gap, but hopefully next year suso and shelvey will cover that area more than adequately

Spot on on every point

Early Days, Hope he toughens up.....but the more you see the more you think will he end up like ol wobbly eye, Plenty of talent provides assists/goals but ultimately not suited to this league.
