CONFIRMED Anis Slimane

[Hackey Blade]

Has anyone a clue what is really going on?i

Go on then I’ll start, he’s told Hecky he hasn’t come here to be playing alongside of the likes of Norwood and Osborn sort it or he’s off

Forgot te winking face

[Rodley]

He’s a development player - is he fit yet?

 

[jono_t2000]

He’s a development player - is he fit yet?

At first glance he looks about a stone over weight

 

[SUFCinks]

I’ve heard he’s not very good. May be a bit part player.

wouldn’t surprise me. Its a huge ask for someone whos used to playing in the danish league to step up to the championship let alone the prem.

Did you see how mcburnie went into a challenge in the training video if thats replicated whilst not on camera its no wonder everyone gets injured in training, a throw back to wilders training sessions

That's what annoys me. Hecky gets them to train like it's a match, going in 100% in tackles, then bemoans all the injuries. No other Sheffield United manager has ever had his injury record and it continues. It's not bad luck. It's his approach to training. Barnsley fans and Leeds fans warned us of this when he took over. Both sets of fans said they had appalling injury records when Hecky was in charge of them.

Give him a break - he's only 7

Wilder had the same approach and I thought it was how Joc picked up his injury.
Our long term injuries have nearly all been muscle related, picked up during games not sure you can blame that on our training regime.

PH on Slimane

"He's struggling with his hamstring a little bit. He picked up something, he was feeling it slightly before [Palace], he was fine in the game and wasn't aware of it but when we were doing fitness work after it was pulling a little bit. Little bit of damage but nothing we're too bothered about. We're light on bodies so don't want to take the risk. He would've liked to have been involved."

Feckin hamstrings I'm feckin sick of hearing about feckin hamstrings

 

[AnstonBlade1]

That’s him done for at least 6 week then.

 

[VictoryBlade]

That’s him done for at least 6 week then.

Probably more like a year?

 

[Gin&Juice]

I wish I could go 1 on 1 with the sniper in Argos car park. Man to man.

Same vibes as this.

Be patient remember!

Very few of the injuries are impact injuries so that doesn’t really hold any water.

It doesn’t take long once Hecky and his team get hold of a player.

How did he play? I suppose it's hard to judge but still interested as the first half was only 1-0.

I thought he was decent. Has a good touch on him and looks more composed than most on the ball (although a low bar). Picked a few decent passes out.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Sounds like he's had a kick up ass

 

[Bladesman]

I think there is more to come from him.

Not afraid to have a shot on goal either which we need to do more of from midfield.

 

[BerksBlade]

He has 30 caps for a decent African side. Seems odd that we've hardly used him up until now.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

He can’t get a game because the few that are not injured have been outstanding

 

[SUFCScorecard]

I have been calling for Slimane to get more minutes. But I like to hear this from Hecky. Enforcing these minimum standards off the ball will serve him and us well in the long term. Thus far when he has come on he has looked very good, but admittedly into 'garbage time' situations. Against Arsenal he struggled, but so did every player on our team other than Robbo. Benchmarking him against McAtee, Fleck and Ozzy who played wide on Saturday he did the best of the four in that position.

The short to medium term future of the club depends on the attitude of the new lads. I really hope they came here knowing it would be a fight, and that they embrace it.

 

[Rudders]

This is where Hecky is very strong. Individual coaching to get more out of the players. Let's hope we see the benefit on the pitch.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Noticed he didn't get a call up for Tunisia.

 

[TJ blade]

Noticed he didn't get a call up for Tunisia.

Another one who's sadly not up to this level!

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Do you know what? I like this lad. He's not had the easiest of starts, but I will back him through thick and thin.

Up the Anis!

 

[brownblade]

Another one who's sadly not up to this level!

Been here less than 3mths. Patience required. Was seemingly an investment for the future anyway, as wasn't a regular at his Scandinavian team but had showed good qualities and decent World Cup performances.
