great vision for a pass and his work rate is second to none , well worth the money we paid for him
He will of course move onto better things, but that is also a part of our mechanics going forward.I think we will struggle to keep him, he is a top 5 league player easy once his consistency clicks.
Watch him always dropping into pockets and then play quick passes intelligent and skilful. Needs wee bit more experience that's all. Robust nature of scottish football will hold him in good stead a la artetaYou could see from start he was a player and came in for some absolute bullshit criticism from some quarters.
He will lose the ball at times as he has 2 and 3 players on him, he is trying to create and just because he is always wanting it, but when it does work, when he can get the ball off for the one two he can take those 2/3 sometimes more players out the game. As someone else said, he is still underused, he should be getting the ball more, always finds himself a yard or 2. Having the courage to shoot from distance as well, ok today never came off, but it gives the defenders something else to think about as well. Fantastic player.
I don't think it will be jumping ship as such, the players are obviously loving life just now. The likes of Hagi and Kamara though need to be sold at some point unfortunately for our business model.He will of course move onto better things, but that is also a part of our mechanics going forward.
He will be an expensive player in a couple of years and I don’t see him jumping ship when we have a CL slot looming.
Good comparison actually when Arteta first played I thought he wasn't strong enough for Scottish football but he got stronger and stronger, probably helped him later in his careerWatch him always dropping into pockets and then play quick passes intelligent and skilful.

Hagi was outstanding today, if I was to offer some constructive criticism it would be that he needs to learn to look after the ball a wee bit better.
Hatley summed it up on RTV.Watch him always dropping into pockets and then play quick passes intelligent and skilful. Needs wee bit more experience that's all. Robust nature of scottish football will hold him in good stead a la arteta
Excellent today, fantastic playerToday, for me, Hagi was MOTM by a distance which speaks volumes with how good Kent and Davis were. He seemed to be everywhere, involved in everything and never, ever gave up. Some of his touches are just disgusting (in a great way) and his vision is something you just cannot teach.
I truly believe he is going to blossom under Gerrard and will achieve amazing things in his career, wherever it takes him.
Instinct and perception mate, I agree with you 100%I think some see his first touch as an issue but I think he deliberately touches it like he does to draw the defender in and at the last possible second he gets there before them to draw the foul. It is insane how many fouls he draws.
He's not allowing Tav to pull away from him.I think that's 9 assist this season we've been crying out for that kind of return from an attacking midfielder
He’s class but sometimes infuriates me but he makes a difference still young
Thought he was better from deep after the subs. Gerrard said we changed to 4231. May suit Hagi better
I think gerrard will mould him into the player that he was. Hagi has all the attributes to do that hes not shy on shooting too Which i think gerrard will be telling him to doToday, for me, Hagi was MOTM by a distance which speaks volumes with how good Kent and Davis were.

Yep he always tries to turn and go forward that's what I like about him.He’s class but sometimes infuriates me but he makes a difference still young
It’s more than that mate, at least 12/13.I think that's 9 assist this season we've been crying out for that kind of return from an attacking midfielder
