Aaron Hickey

[tw2bee]

Not sure a 532 suits Hickey. Did ok but not as effective as last week. Don’t see him as a wing back.

Not sure the formation was the issue — he was just up against a really talented winger. Still, he didn’t get beaten all that often

 

[kaebess]

Along with players raising their arms before a corner, I wonder whether decoys at free kicks really add much?

Too much time between the two to make any impact

Bobb had him on toast all first half.

 

[hanworthbee]

Not his best display tbh

 

[Beefletch]

He is obviously a talented young footballer who after a long time out with injury will hopefully continue to improve.That said , I felt that yesterday he should have been replaced during the second half by one of either KLP, or Rico as we needed fresh leg’s & pace on the left flank to stretch them.
He got a bit of a chasing from Bobb , & it showed in his performance as the game went on .

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Torn a new one. Second start against a very good player. It's fine and starts again in the 433.

Btw - Aaron is no wing back and that's pretty obvious

 

[Bigbee]

He kept cutting in to the right and ran into problems .I would of thought Rico could have taken the ball up the outside

 

[Beeswaxnees]

Got cooked by Bobb and didn't offer nothing offensively. Like someone said, he kept cutting inside leaving space outside of him.

 

[Frothybaby]

Was it his pass to Thiago?

 

[hanworthbee]

Was it his pass to Thiago?

Yes but was more of a long punt that somehow the city player just missed. Thought he was pretty poor on Sunday

 

[Griffingreen]

didn't offer nothing offensively.

I'm confused?

 

[cliffbee]

Nothing against Hickey but I just can't see that he is a better left back than Henry. He got an awful runaround from Bobb and was constantly outpaced in the first half.

 

[Wilton Bee]

I thought he was great against Utd as a full back, but didn't appear to know what to do as a wing back! Hopefully he can learn from this performance as I'm sure he's going to be used there more this season.

hero last week, villain this week… Bobb is a very good winger… also I’ll say it again, wingback isn’t his strong suit- he is much better than rico in a flat back 4. but if our tactics are to hoof a long ball and hope someone chases it, that suits rico as he is quicker. Aaron is a top top player and one of the best, posession based players in his position.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He was noticeably deeper in the first half against Man U with Kayode pushing high when he could. Much further up the pitch second half but I do agree, he is a better full back than wing back.

 

[North London Bee]

I suspect we will make decisions about LB or LWB depending upon the opposition and how we set up.
At least we have three decent options now!

 

[RoyBee]

Taken off injured

 

[filmyfan]

AH done something in left leg- being subbed

Hamstring possibly or knee

 

[longtimeagobee]

Hamstring by the looks of it

 

[Gbh76]

At least he’s walking off. Fingers crossed

 

[ABEEE]

OH FFS

 

[bostonhanwell]

Ffs

 

[JANORAK]

At least he’s walking off. Fingers crossed

Hopefully, he knows he has to get off, the moment he feels anything wrong in that area.

Is that the same leg as previous?

 

[ChrisSmith1992]

Ffs…

 

[South Acton Bee]

I give up end the season now please

 

[filmyfan]

Is that the same leg as previous?

Not sure - looked like his left leg was pretty much strapped up from the start of match

 

[Banana]

As much as it might be bad for Aaron, this is a position that we have massive cover for. Don't panic.

 

[plymouthbee]

Fingers crossed for Hickey

 

[UnsungZero]

Is that the same leg as previous?

Yes, the surgery was on his left hamstring.

 

[South Acton Bee]

That the spirit

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Simplifies things for KA, I suppose.

 

[longtimeagobee]

I give up end the season now please

What ?

 

[South Acton Bee]

More injuries

 

[JANORAK]

More injuries

Really? Hardly anything yet. In some recent seasons we didn’t have team sheets, it was more like a roll call!

 

[Cham]

Horrendous luck for him. Hope it won't be too bad.

 

[damsgard.szn]

f*** off scotland

 

[JCMcBee]

f*** off scotland

.... feckin great result though

 

[w7 bee]

Needed more rest after Man City perhaps ?

 

[Ewen MacAskill]

Horrendous luck for him. Hope it won't be too bad.

Scotland manager just said injury is small but he will be ruled out for Sunday game against Belarus.

Rehabilitated for West Ham. Breathe GPGers.

Has he seen the scans?.......

 

[North London Bee]

How much strapping did he have on his left leg. He’s a very brave young man as I suspect he’s playing with pain

Why do you think he's playing with pain?

 

[North London Bee]

Why do you think he's playing with pain?

I know the strapping is to support and help prevent injury but even at my low levels of sport I had ongoing unpleasant hamstring issues which I had eventually to play and run through and it really wasn’t very comfortable at times.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

It would be surprising to find a top level athlete playing with constant pain.

I hope you’re right but I’m not so sure.

He probably had an injection for the game pre match if he was in pain.

 

[Banana]

I hope you’re right but I’m not so sure.

A player is playing in pain despite the fact we have 3 other players that can play there. Don't be silly.

 

[GuyBee]

I'd have thought quite the opposite, certainly for footballers
