Leaves us nothing in the middle going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18Jambo_dave74 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I'd definitely be up for playing Kingsley at right back for now as I've absolutely no interest in watching Sibbick play for Hearts any longer. Motherwell haven't won in their last 7 matches (losing 6 of them), since they won at Tynecastle. They also have a midweek game so we will be the fresher side. I think we can all guess the outcome on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said exactly the same in the car coming home yesterday. Fed up watching him prance about and get taken to the cleaners all game. Hopeless whether he plays CB, RB of DM. He's just a poor footballer that offers nothing other than mistakes in big moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd suit us best, gives us the most balance & gives us pace up top via the wide men, a mix of energy, bite & creativity in the middle while we should always have a man spare (likely Beni) to protect the back 4 on the counter or to help us retain possession by keeping in space to receive a pass back.

Walter Bishop Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I like to see a much more direct style of play. The most exciting moment at Hampden on Sunday was a long ball over the top that Vargas chased Balogun down into the corner and won us a throw in. He has loads of pace, time to use it! The tippy tappy cross and back bullshit needs to stop, so many players are over coached and encouraged to pass side to side these days to the extent they must be demented. Long balls to Shankland with Vargas running off him will do for me this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
