Absolute Scenes Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Surprised no ones made a thread about this guy. really classy player and is keeping Olly Lee out of the team. Thought he did really well and for a smaller guy he’s pretty good in the air. Been impressed the more I’ve seen him play and yesterday thought him and djoum kept a good midfield battle going til the last quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Ian Malcolm Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I wouldn't say he say he's "keeping Lee out the team" - he's simply a better player and we're better with him starting. Not a surprise either when you look at his pedigree. Experienced international who's played at a good level in different countries. Contributes in terms of goals and assists, is mobile and can get stuck in. I like him a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Liked him quite early into his time here. Was surprised he wasn’t in the team much earlier. Always felt he deserved a few matches to get into a rhythm instead of being in and out the team. Like people are saying, his effort is noticeable, he’s tidy on the ball and always on the move. You need that in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thought he was superb in the first half. Faded a bit in the second but was still our best midfielder. Linked up well with Mitchell on the left side as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSK Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Really like him. Up to speed with the frantic nature of Scottish football now and is showing himself to be a good acquisition. Exactly the sort of midfielder Levein likes as well. Covers ground quickly and has the hustle and bustle to compete in the middle of the park.

I purposely watched Lee after he came on and the guy seems to have serious fitness problems either that or he is just not interested in getting involved in play. He is so one paced it's unreal at this level and I know he has some nice touches and has a decent shot but we need much more than what he offers which is why he is on the bench quite a lot now. Peter Haring who is not blessed why great pace and is carrying a hernia problem puts him to shame with his workrate. I am not convinced that Lee is the right player to bring on near the end of games when we really need someone that is going to get stuck in and compete. After the ref blew the whistle Lee dropped his hands down on his knees and looked as if he had just competed for 90 minutes when in fact he had been on the park fr about 15 minutes. Not sure if the guy has some sort of problem maybe carrying an injury or is he just a bit lazy? either way he does not merit a starting place at the moment as CL obviously realises that. Probably another player who benefits from the workrate of Naismith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I really like him as a player. His vision is good, he’s tenacious and doesn’t shirk any challenges, some off his runs off the ball are excellent but he doesn’t get the passes that those runs deserve, he’s decent with his throw ins and he’s very good at dead ball situations, great work rate and a good engine in him too.

Probably another player who benefits from the workrate of Naismith. Got to agree with all that. And all we keep hearing is how others players will look better once Naisy, Uche etc... are back! I understand that good players compliment each other and can get more out of individuals but that shouldn’t prevent players still giving their own level of effort and quality. However, missing those key players above has possibly exposed one or two players lack of quality and tenacity in their absence. Uche and Naismith bring so much in the last third it simplifies other players input. Edited December 9, 2018 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him, and I think Levein does too, infact his sub yesterday suggests Levein thinks he's our best player to me given its timing. With the ball at his feet he is technically our best player, if we released him it would be one of our worst decisions in recent years. As for one paced, he is a consistent, and a hard working player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for one paced, he is a consistent, and a hard working player. Got to agree. No one was questioning him when Berra, Souttar, Naismith and Uche were in the team. Understandably after losing our key players his performances have floundered. Berra being back is a good start and should give our midfield confidence to go forward but there still isn't the quality there that was at the start of the season. Its not an excuse as he has been poor, but it does give context to why he has been much less effective. I'm really glad Boz has forced his way into the team. His work ethic is immense and is absolutely offering what I want to see from every player (100% commitment from the word go). Says a lot he didn't spit the dummy when he couldn't get in the team.

Doomgoose Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It's nice to see we have such quality depth in midfield, especially with Djoum getting back to his best. Lee, Bozanic, Haring, Djoum all fighting for places. Despite a pretty unimpressive start, Clare will come good with time. Cochrane also yet to hit real form.

Robbo51 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Bozanic Haring and Djoum is a really good midfield 3 bit of everything in it Bozanic - gets stuck in and has good quality on the ball Haring - great ball winner and also very good passer of the ball Djoum - bit of flair and very good all round And then Cochrane and Lee on the bench.
