I have him down as a completely different player to Paul Hartley, personally. Pretty much nothing like. Hair aside, I guess.

(Unless you're joking?)

[Bris Red]

How anyone had doubts about his ability really is beggars belief, a top quality midfielder and it’s players like Nagy that Pearson will look to build the team around next season in my opinion.

Not joking.

You just don't agree.

 

[Porto Red]

Don't remember Hartley running around like Nagy, one minute he's mopping up in defence and the next he's the furthest forward attacking player. Hartley more of a sitting pass-picker, surely

[Super]

Not even close.

[And Its Smith]

Can’t see it to be honest

To be fair, he has been below par in quite a few games

What a bizarre shout, they are nothing alike.

[Selred]

Nagy reminds me more of Marvin Elliott. All over the pitch, great engine. 

Hartley didn't have legs so nothing like Nagy, terrific passer of the ball was PH mind.

Think Nagy touch sometimes lets him down in certain areas of pitch,I agree he's got qualities his short range passing is good also his energy,Just needs to add goals to his game, Hartleys quality of passing and range of passing was steps ahead and he didn't really need those running levels he used to just sit in that midfield and make it tick so In a way a different kind of midfielder. Nagy can only improve with experience,So far at this time Hartley would be the better midfielder of the two.

[Davefevs]

Got the energy of Hartley Hare!

Another good game tonight.  Definitely more at home in this midfield set-up.  Thought he was intelligent in the pressing triggers tonight too.  More of this please Adam.

[Globe Trotter]

I paid particular attention to him last night, a player I really enjoy watching. His awareness and positioning is fantastic, always looking over his shoulder checking for a threat and looking for space. He’s got a fantastic engine on him too, he must be up there with distance covered per game. 

[Harry]

People will know I’ve been critical of Nagy last season but he’s turned it around for me this season and done very well. 
But I thought last night was his worst game this season. 
Yes, the energy, running, chasing etc was all still there, but his awareness on the ball and his use of the ball was awful last night. And he was also very weak in a number of tackles too. 
Not his usual performance, and I actually thought that was back to the Nagy I used to criticise last season. 
 

Not having a pop at him, as I say, he’s actually turned my opinion around on him, but I can’t pretend that was a good performance from his last night. 

[Hampshire Red]

i see no resemblence with Hartley and cant believe we have Harry, on this forum, namely someone prepared to change their mind positively; well done Harry and i also agree with your comments. For me Nagy has been in a midfield without the experience around him of our opposition. It may be he improves further as Bako gets better or if  W.W.W - (Walsh, Williams, Weimann) - return fit next season.

I loved Hartley but he had no 'legs'/engine so see the two as completley different players. I also though Marv was a great player for us over the years but he had seveal spells of mediocty when recovering his fitness which i believe is how Nagy was forced to play (due to lack of options) under Dean Holden.

Exciting to see which of our 8 midfielders, NP wishes to 'build the team' around, if any. He may rather decide to build round the spine (Bents, Kalas, Nagy, Fam) or around a formation - too mumerous these days to list them all. One thing NP cant complain about is lack of options

Glad I’m not the only one who thought he was below par last night. Some of his first touches were poor and passes were pretty wasteful I thought.

 

[Major Isewater]

Nagy is class if used correctly . 

I like the set up of our midfield three Palmer , Nagy and Bakinson is an exciting combination and can only get better.

 

[Lew-T]

Also he is a completely different player to Hartley? We had Tyreeq being compared with Marvin Elliot the other day...

I’m not sure what’s worse.

 

[mozo]

I thought Nagy was a bit hit and miss and it was Bakinson who really impressed me.

Errr...he's far more creative, Elliott was a destroyer and midfield powerhouse, Nagy is more a link up player

I thought he was pretty decent last night, but on reflection, it’s probably another performance where when we are playing a better spell he looked better, and when we struggled (first 20, last 20) then so did Nagy.

I liked the good things again, but the standing off of challenges does my head in.  There was one instance where he had two chances with a couple of seconds of each other, and he pulled out of both.

I think he suits the current system, which is good....but I’d like him to sometimes be the one who stands out in an average team performance.  Bakinson was good last night.

Thought T looked quality further up the pitch. Seems to have quite a natural instinct to get into the box and break the lines, which I didn’t expect. Also some lovely bits of close control in tight spaces, alongside his usual incisive passing. 
 

Would be keen to see him played more there. 

[LondonBristolian]

I felt, once again, Nagy worked well when the system worked well but, once Vyner moved to right back, the midfield balance was not quite right and Nagy struggled as a result of that.  I think, in general, he is a tactical player. He executes a gameplan very well but, if there is an enforced change to the gameplan through injury  - as last night - he doesn’t do so well when forced to improvise.

I loved Hartley, as we all did. great footballer. 

More of a Pirlo. the ball came to him. can't imagine either of them playing as Adam does tbh.

I was wondering when Pearson came in if he'd look to use Bakinson more advanced. Really looks class there.

But I think last night I'd have rather seen Lansbury the most advanced when he came on. Or just don't bring Lansbury on at all.

He was a bit of a secret weapon last night going forward and probably hadn't been identified by Bournemouth as a threat.

I'm not a fan of Bakinson's tackling (or lack thereof) but I thought he won the ball more often than usual too.

Yep. There was some standing off, but also a couple of challenges where he was very weak and was easily outmuscled. 
It wasn’t just that though. His first touch was generally very very poor last night. 
But more frustratingly for me was his use of the ball. Some of his passes were very slow, which enabled the opposition to close the recipient quicker. He needs to ping them in quicker, give the recipient a chance to receive the ball before he’s closed down. Lots of his easy, 5-10 yard passes, which should have easily retained possession, turned into almost 60/40’s. 
There were also a few times where he didn’t seem in tandem with the rest of the team in terms of intent. Some passages of play where we managed to keep possession well and start to move the opposite around, when the ball got to Nagy and it was crying out for him to continue the phase, with good options either inside or infront of him, his first thought was to turn away and pass it back to Kalas. It stifled what we were building into promising moves and put us back to square 1. There was no confidence or conviction in his passing. I call it ‘going through the motions’ passing.

Thought Bakinson was excellent but looked like he was exhausted from about 75minutes and was expecting to see him substituted. Not a criticism of him more an observation.

[Baldyman]

Saw a side from him I hadn’t spotted before . Leadership ! He berated his colleagues a few times in the first 20 mins gee-ing them up and trying to speed the game up .  Love Kalas but as Captain he’s just not vocal enough on the pitch . Nagy as a future Captain perhaps and midfield is always in my view the best position to lead a team from !
