Section Q Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Fantastic young player and already has years of experience for his age. Not many in his position can take the ball forward like he does. His insistence on the 50 yard diagonal pass though when a simple pass is the easier option is frustrating. Hope Levein finds an experienced centre half, (not ancient), to help him out.

Easy ball isnt always the best ball to open a defence so I know what he's trying to do, just needs a bit more accuracy at times. Not helped in the slightest by hughes who simply isnt good enough no matter how many caps he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 At our level of football rarely will you get immaculate performance every single week.

gashauskis9 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Was great yesterday, but I really wish he would stop thundering passes at players 10/20 yards in front of him. Uche and MacLean struggles to get them under control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Ian Malcolm Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We had no width and he often had zero options in front of him. Combination of lack of movement and Dunfermline doing really well to press and squeezed us made them difficult to break down. Souttar played well.

been here before Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 A bit too quiet to be captain for me. I like my captains to be natural leaders, shouters who drive players on and who lead by example. A figurehead if you will. Im not sure Naismith is the answer either as Im not sure what the armband would change about him or the other players view of him. As the old cliche goes you should have 11 captains on the pitch. As for Souters recent displays he's been solid enough. Berra being missing now could and should be the making of him. Those 2 or 3 adventurous runs he has with the ball each game- very McPhersonesque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I like souttar but thought he misplaced several diagonals yesterday. Maybe he was told to play the ball into those positions and others weren't there for it. Our midfield never really took the ball of the defence too often and didn't look comfortable being pressed.

a11ank Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I thought he had a great game yesterday. He made one really bad error. It didn't cost us! Some idiot behind me kept carping at him "yer no Beckenbaur". He's a young aspiring captain and I hope we are lucky to have him for many years. Maybe if he becomes the next 'Beckenbaur' we can make loads of money out of him. I remember Zaliukas made several bomb scare errors in loads of matches. How did he fare as captain? Won us the Cup!

willie wallace Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Soutar looks like the only one who can carry the ball from the back. Not many options as he came forward due to our lack of movement and a really well organised Dunfermline side. Someone has to take on the defenders In this type of situation and create some space but did not happen yesterday. Surely when Soutar makes these runs someone drops into his position and covers for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Suspect the captaincy and a strong chance of a Scotland cap soon will boost his value. No brainer to give him the captaincy.

letsalldothebeattie Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 An excellent talent who I’m delighted we brought into the club. His development as a player since coming in has been amazing and fully deserving of the armband for the time Berra is out. Just hope he finally gets capped by Scotland soon by far our best option at CB going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Clerry Jambo said: Got to be Hanlon and MacGregor I fear you are correct. Mulgrew and Hendry were his choice last time and they are the only fit CH’s that have been in the last 2 squads. Mulgrew was terrible in the last 2 Scotland games and Hendry was terrible in the last 2 Celtic games. Berra and McKenna would have a strong shout if fit but they are not. Tierney can play as a LCH in a three, but that still means you need at least one more central defender as back up. The full list of people who could be ahead of him that I can think of (including semi ridiculous suggestions included only because they have played before) would be: Martin (past it) Broadfoot (very much past it) Porteous (good prospect but behind Souttar in development and also in U-21 squad) So that must mean one or both of the Hibs pairing are going in to the squad. Unless I am forgetting someone who is based in England or he’s gone fully mad and is picking someone like Ziggy Gordon? Edit: Liam Lindsay would be a good shout actually! Was at a similar level to Souttar before he went to Barnsley. Haven’t seen him play since but he’s the only one who could justifiably come in ahead of him (if he has been playing really well).
