Shinnie seems to have had his wings clipped by the BITB's. He just seems to have to fart beside an opposition player and get booked.
Definitely affecting his game.
Mulumbu was excellent in my opinion. Shinnie clearly couldn't handle him. At one point he more or less gave up and was just trying to foul him and Mulumbu still managed to keep the ball off him. There were a couple of "boy being bullied off the ball by a man" moments in there as well where Shinnie was just trying to shield the ball and got pushed off it.
Mulumbu would easily improve our squad if you swapped him for someone like Ball. We have no proper defensive midfielder who can win battles like that, keep the ball under pressure, and shut down other teams creatively.
Mulumbu was as strong as an ox and Shinnie struggled to compete with that in their battles.
Shinnie was poor in the first half especially but to be fair the boy Mulumba shouldn’t be playing at this level.
If he could compete with guys like Mulumba he would have loads of guff teams after him.
Mulumba made a fool shinnie today. He is exactly what we need.
Mulumbu did fvck all against Shinnie when we totally outplayed them in midfield in the 2nd half.
