Hannibal

[Milltown1882]

Is it possible to give a 1 on the player ratings? Horrendous performance.

[gandhisflipflop]

He is a terrible player

[Cowick Claret]

No worse than Anthony or koleosho who gave the ball away constantly all night

[Conroy92]

Awful. Cost us a goal by refusing to play in Anthony and proceeded to give the ball away at every opportunity possible

[mdd2]

Good news he won’t take any part on Tuesday

[DAVETHEVICAR]

It was a very entertaining game played in dreadful conditions
He does tend to get bookings but plays hard

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Think both Managers will be happy with the result
Probably our hardest home game on paper

[ksrclaret]

If played in his position, he might be okay. He's a central midfielder, not a number 10 or a right winger.

Unfortunately, we've not played him in his actual position once since he's arrived.

[Casper2]

None of the subs made us better , Hannibal made us worse .

[randomclaret2]

None of the subs made us better , Hannibal made us worse .

Doesnt help when Foster, Redmond, Tresor, Ramsey and Benson are all unavailable...

[MDWat]

He stunk the gaff out when he came on. Awful.

[AmbleClaret]

Never excited like some when he signed. Hasn't done anything yet to change my opinion.

[thelifeofbrian]

when he got booked and we realised he was banned for the next game a big "yes" went up in my house- he adds nothing to this team

[BurnleyFC]

And yet I still thought he was better than Flemming.

[boyyanno]

I honestly thought that the pass he turned down to play Anthony through on goal was a borderline unforgivable decision.

[ksrclaret]

I honestly thought that the pass he turned down to play Anthony through on goal was a borderline unforgivable decision.

Anthony going for goal instead of passing to Brownhill was actually a worse decision.

[dougcollins]

Anthony would have ****** it up the way he was playing.

[RVclaret]

I’ll go for they were both as bad as each other

Incredibly frustrating.

[boyyanno]

Anthony going for goal instead of passing to Brownhill was actually a worse decision.

They were both stinking decisions to be honest.

[Stonehouse]

Doesnt help when Foster, Redmond, Tresor, Ramsey and Benson are all unavailable...

Why what would Tresor have done ?

[blatherwickstattoos]

In his defence. He’s never , ever, ever seen being a right winger. Shambolic performance. Shambolic substitution. Cost us 3 points

[jojomk1]

Even worse
We have actually bought this guy until 2028 !!

[ElectroClaret]

Some awful final ball decisions.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hannibal was pretty poor today in his cameo but he’s most definitely got some quality and potential. The more he plays the more he will pick the right decisions . Not defending the decision to not play Anthony in mind you, that was a shocking choice in his behalf. He’s a good player who will get better the more he plays

[boatshed bill]

I pressed the "like" button by mistake. How the FFFF could he have cost us 3 points?

[blatherwickstattoos]

Edits. 2 points. The subs cost us 2 points

[Bordeauxclaret]

I’ve yet to see any attribute which warrants playing an attacking role.

Good at annoying opposition fans though.

[ksrclaret]

The Hannibal issue is a bigger issue of us using too many defensive minded players in forward positions that they just don't have the skill to play in. Hannibal and Laurent have both been used as number 10s this season, whilst Flemming who is a number 10 has been used exclusively as a number 9.

Just play your players in their correct bloody positions and it might give them a chance to impress.

[Dark Cloud]

He is a terrible player

He's not, but he had a very poor 20 minutes today and was probably the wrong substitution in hindsight.

Agreed, in Hannibal’s case I think he was much much better in a deeper role as more of a box to box player

[gandhisflipflop]

It’s about opinions DC and that’s ok. I really do not see what he brings. His shithousery even lands him in the ****.

I’m not sure Hannibal playing as an 8 in a midfield 3 is that wrong. It’s the position he’s played for his whole career I believe. I’m not sure why folk seem to think he’s playing as a 10, ive genuinely not seen it once!

[warksclaret]

Hes now suspended-when he is banned and not playing, fans will say we missed him

[billyhamilton82]

Hannibal is a 21 year old and can't get a game in his position because we halready have some great players there.

He's 21 years old....

Give the lad a break, he played right wing in awful conditions on the right wing to help the team.

It is annoying when young players make mistakes but that is the only way to learn.

His enthusiasm and energy is infectious and genuinely wants to do well for the club.

Or would you prefer a Tresor character?

Again, same with Flemming, he's proven as anumber 10 but playing out of the position for the good of the team.

Surely that's obvious and we should understand that they are sacrificing their own personal stats / performance for the team/club and support rather than criticise them.

Same for Koleosho, he's 20 and still learning, only played a handful of games in professional football.

Back in the day a young player was supported and given leeway by fans with an understanding of the game knowing that would help their development.

[123EasyasBFC]

Can’t help but feel sorry for Hannibal, he just wants to do well all the time, for Birmingham playing in a deeper midfield role, we are yet to play him in that position

All very good points mate. I see Koleosho’s shoulder drop when the fans get on at him for the mistakes he makes ( a lot of them too)

Call it an 8 or a 10, but he’s been playing as the most advanced midfielder more often than not. He’d suit a deeper role.

[boatshed bill]

When he's used to break up play in the opposition half he's excellent.

[Whitgord]

When it all kicked off beyond the touch line on the Bob Lord side in the second half. Guess who ran 30 yards to get involved. You guessed it, Hannibal. He’s a right hot head and I am fed up of his antics already. He needs to grow up, stop thinking he’s better than he is, and concentrate on improving rather than being a prat.

[Buxtonclaret]

Admit i was swearing badly at my TV screen for that one.

[ksrclaret]

When he's used to break up play in the opposition half he's excellent.

He’s good at pressing.

The problem comes when he wins the ball back. Often he’s the furthest forward and hasn’t a clue what to do with it. As I said, he’d suit a deeper role.

[Burnleyareback2]

As the pitch invader ran along the Bob lord Parker had to tell Hannibal not to get involved.

[daveisaclaret]

Some of you lot really hate this kid

That’s the type of player I would want, rather than a shrinking violet who lets the opposition walk all over them.

[helmclaret]

I’ve no idea what we have signed with him and Flemming.

[Robbie_painter]

I’ve no idea what we have signed with him and Flemming.

Millwall fans really rate Flemming and he needs playing in his correct position,Hannibal I’ve literally no idea.

[TheFamilyCat]

As the pitch invader ran along the Bob lord Parker had to tell Hannibal not to get involved.

The pitch invader has got higher marks than Hannibal on the ratings thread.

[dvalley69]

He's certainly not gonna make us a more attractive or elegant side, but if you need someone to rough up/bully/upset the opposition then he's ya man. I guess that's why he came on as they Middlesbrough were gathering a bit of momentum. I suppose it worked.

[Darnhill Claret]

He also took one for the team with his yellow, preventing them from a speedy break.

[Cirrus_Minor]

I thought the him and Fleming were both poor when they came on tonight. It was against a decent side and the conditions were horrendous. But I have yet to see anything decent either player that gives me optimism.
