Absolute Scenes Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Decent team like just need the creative spark. I’d think if Meshino signs he’d be there ahead of Mulraney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 There’s scope to alternate but I think that’s been one of many problems. I hope we try to let our strongest 11 settle and get into a rhythm. Of course, there’ll be injuries and suspensions along the way but it seemed at times last season we made changes when it wasn’t needed. If Whelan and Damour stay fit and on form I think they’ll become our staple in midfield. Maybe time to persevere with Washington through the middle and try to use his strong and willing running, looking to play him in behind defenders. Its really just time for everyone to get the finger out. More energy, willingness and tenacity from the first to last minute. Bring a bit brain as well please.

LarrysRightFoot Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 What we lack is width. We now have a pretty decent squad but Mulraney is our only natural winger. Even our full backs aren’t really what you’d describe as attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a pretty good side with the only real weakness probably Mulraney (and a back-up winger if either get injured) and a goalscoring striker (other than Naismith).

Neither of them are exactly world beaters. At least Walker gets goals from open play. How I would love us to sign a winger that provides assists as well as a few goals. Perhaps the guy from City can play in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If we line up on Friday in 442 then I’ll walk out. My biggest worry is now we have better players we will see the same side as Saturday but Whelan will replace Clare. Walker and Naismith as pretend wingers. Uche and Washington up time. 4231 is the system for us. The players we have at our disposal are perfect for it.

A lack of dynamism, pace and creativity remain a real worry. I would have agreed with you before the transfer window but now I don’t think it’s as pressing a matter, for me we now have 3/4 technically good players in the final 3rd that can play narrow and are smart enough to open teams up (granted we haven’t seen it so far) I’d like to see us play Naismith and Washington up top with walker in behind, supported by better quality centre midfielders in Whelan and Damour. I also think Clare fits into this style better as well so wouldn’t be surprised if we set up narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CL it’s harder to stay in the team than fall out of it.

Uche is most effective with the ball at his feet. He can also play a pass (Lafferty v Celtic / Walker v Aberdeen). What we now have is competition for places. Souttar, Berra and Halkett competition for two (hopefully) centre back slots. White / Hickey battling for left back, potentially Garuccio as well. Uche, Washington, Naismith, Keena and MacLean competing for striker or forward positions. Booby Zlamal flung out on his arse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloustonHMFC Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Strongest team, with all fit for me would be this: Pereira Smith Souttar Halkett White Damour Whelan Walker Naismith Mulraney Washington 4-2-3-1 Haring may well come back and cement a place ahead of Damour or Whelan but until that’s proven, that’s the team I would play. Over the next few weeks we might see Clare in instead of Naismith and Berra instead of Souttar. We have bags of options though so people really need to up their game and fight for a place.
