He might not be amazing defensively, but either is Smith. Freeman offers so much more attacking threat. I'd be going 3 at the back with Graham in there, Behich on the left and Freeman on the right. The midfield is far too soft and we're not getting anything out of Watt or Fletcher. None of this Asos Ancelotti pish or whatever it is. Get it together you New Look Laszlo. I think that's harsh on Smith. I thought he did pretty well when he came back into the side last season, even if Freeman was unlucky that he got injured just as Smith was fit to play again. Given the choice though I'd rather stick with Freeman as 1st choice and Smith as back-up for the long run. Freeman I feel has the greater potential for further improvement and as you say he's by far the better option for attacking. He should have been brought on at left-back today instead of the absolutely hopeless Niskanen. Whoever is manager next week, the back 5 needs to come back for a while until we can remember how to defend again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an unpopular opinion at all. Freeman was really pivotal to our good start last season. Smith when in possession today just would not release the ball quick enough to Middleton and never overlapped. Was the no overlapping a managerial decision or was it because he had absolutely no confidence in Edwards and Mulgrew behind him? If must play, use him as the defensive midfielder that should have been a prority this window. The amount of mistakes so far from him, although far from the only one, so far this season has me shaking my head. Quite a few players in the squad must be sitting there fizzing at the fact they aren't getting a look when watching what those who are playing are getting away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mistake your manager took a while to rectify, when he finally realised that McGrath is a central midfielder and is pretty ineffective out wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Smith should be on the pitch and should be used as backup. Hes no midfielder, he did OK a few times and scored a raker but if we have ambitions to be a regular top 6 club then we should be looking to have better than Smith and a few others in the squad. Particularly the ones from the Championship era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I'm wondering if CP Mulgrew views himself as manager in waiting. He looked a bit impatient today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
