BigDan Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The only changes I'd make in the long term. Tierney (replaces Paterson at right back), Griffiths (replaces Fletcher) up front, McGinn (replaces Chalmers) in midfield. Paterson replaces Bates at Centre back. No way back for Scott Brown - what a difference having a proper footballer in that position (Mcgregor). Excellent players - Mckenna, Forrest, Fraser, Christie, Robertson, Tierney, Mcgregor (x2), McGinn, Griffiths. Only problem positon I see is a partner for the excellent McKenna in centre of defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem positon I see is a partner for the excellent McKenna in centre of defence Interesting idea here. I like the idea of Paterson being moved from right back, but where we differ is that I would put him on the plane home rather than into the centre of defense. He has shown zero defensive ability (or indeed footballing ability) whenever he's played right back for Scotland. He was an utter carthorse tonight and he was only useful when the ball was launched to his heid. Easily our weakest link. Unsure who the player you identified as "Chalmers" was. Maybe Armstrong? I'd personally start the same team as tonight. McGregor was excellent as holding midfielder and has a far better touch than McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot’s of pop culture references to ‘Glasgow banter’ (only an excuse a prime example, but also lots of ‘Glasgow banter’ mugs/plates/pictures etc. Souvenirs) which are actually universally Scottish references/jokes. Only something you might realise if youve spent a lot of time out side and inside the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlin has arguably been better than McKenna so far this season. Edit: Although it's not really a competition tbh, they're both ballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDan Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Admittedly Paterson was a weak link at full back, but if he could lose a wee bit of weight I could see him as potentially a great long term partner for McKenna. He is powerful, excellent in the air, can pass the ball and is a threat in the opponents box at set pieces. He also has that confidence / arrogance required and won't be phased by anyone. He isn't the fastest but that need not be exposed as McKenna has the pace. Obviously he has a lot he needs to work on - mainly the tache, which is a poor imitation of the head waiter's (Willie Miller) one. Time will tell !

2 for a Foil Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Tremendous performance away from home, ok it was against ten men and someone bunged the ref a few scheckels! Paterson utter dugmeat though, the only change i’d make for Tuesday. If only SOD wasn’t injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Superb win tonight. Really pleased with the result and performance.The nonsense about the system not mattering is absolute bollocks. We looked a lot more comfortable in 4-2-3-1 as we have for a number of years now.Restoring Stuart Armstrong to the midfield helps us move the ball more quickly and positively, as Armstrong is brave on the ball and sets a high tempo that breaks down poorer teams. Fraser and Forrest were outstanding out wide, absolutely outstanding. They exploited the spaces between wing backs and left and right centre backs all night to great effect.Christie made a solid performance once again. Fletcher did well and although Griffiths will likely always be first choice, Fletcher showed why he was started ahead of McBurnie.Only thing to change would be to restore KT at right back when he returns as Paterson looked uncomfortable there at times tonight.
