Something like O'Hara Slattery Donnelly Woolery Not for me mate,that lopsided 442 we played in a midweek game at firhill has scarred me for life.we really need to do something with our midfield though,I would like us to to go with 2 strikers and someone to link the play between midfield and up front,most likely roberts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it probably wouldn't be my preferred option either. I'm still baffled at how little Slattery and Tierney have played during this run.

Slattery is definitely a mystery,he was our best midfielder by a long way earlier in the season then he's hardly got back in after suspension I think it was,considering how poor our midfield are at keeping the ball and making passes,you would think he would be in the team more than he is.

middleeastdave Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I haven’t read every post but I didn’t see anyone mentioning that Lamie looked fully committed against his new employer, I actually thought he had a good game and you certainly cannot question his commitment for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legitimately thought he was about 17 until I saw the social media page wishing him a happy 21st the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Tierney's said himself he expected this (half) season to be all about building up his fitness and strength with minimal playing time - so no surprise there. From a coaching point of view, that stuff is easy to implement as long as the player is willing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt our issue lies in formation - more tempo and lacking basic passing. FWIW Id use a 3-5-2 with both Carrol/SOD being part of the 5. Appreciate this would flip into 5-3-2 when under pressure but the issue for me goes well beyond formations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I would let them stand wherever they wanted if they promised to pass to someone in a ‘Well top 5 yards away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
