North West Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 1 hour ago, Stellaboz said: McCann really does not have the quality for this level. He's basically pish most games. He's a unit and can hit top speed rapido, but he can't trap or control a ball that well. He's not got a natural instinct regarding positional sense that most good strikers have. There is the fact he's still developing, but you can say that about a lot players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously just being back this week probably wasn't going to be great, so fingers crossed he can hit the goal run before the end of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 McCann is a frustating player. Either very good or awful. Never an in between. I still think he will come good eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 No complaints today. It was mostly one way traffic and I thought we played okay without making too many chances. Dunfermline sat back and defended well. Just one of those days. Ref had an interesting one but it would be a stretch to say it greatly affected the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Good point and decent performance all things considered. On defensive front, excellent. Walcott looks decent and played well alongside Otoo. First clean sheet since November. Happy to let United gave the ball and delivered on the game plan. Thought Hamilton was excellent and helped compensate for a quieter Chalmers. MOH OK when running in a straight line forward, but suspect on the turn. McCann, Summers and Moffat all struggled but it's worth remembering United have by far best defensive record so very hard to go there and score. But defensive options are taking shape if everyone stays fit. Not going to judge the attacking play too harshly given opposition and recent injuries. Some positives at last! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andriy_Parmolenko Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Didn't get down for this one, but would have taken a point before the game. Sounds like we set up to be strong defensively and accomplished that. For folk who were there, what was the consensus on MFW? A clean sheet seems a decent sign but any insight would be appreciated Just now, AuldReekie said: On defensive front, excellent. Walcott looks decent and played well alongside Otoo. As if on cue!

Composed, tracked well, won some headers etc. Couple of times slightly off pace but that would be very picky and once he's had a couple of games, think he'll be excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of our goals come from McMann and Middleton overlapping on the left and he coped with both admirably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Really enjoyed that today, we faired far better than I thought we would. MFW looked a bit nervous for the first 10/15 minutes but his confidence picked up after dealing with a couple of balls, he is going to be an important player for us. We desperately need a finisher though, I don’t think big Lewis is sharp enough to play as the one upfront. Chalmers hardly got a sniff at the ball in midfield, but IMO he gave a good account of himself helping out in defence. It was a really good team performance from us to hold Dundee to a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Felt for McCann the day. Impossible to say how he played as he barely had the ball. Edited January 27 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Looking back at it, Deniz and Edwards have got us that point. Some save and an equally brilliant block to get the clean sheet. Up until then I genuinely never felt threatened by United. To Goodwin: yes, a team missing about 5 starters and not played in 3 weeks, whilst being on poor form, will celebrate a 0-0 draw away to the so-called Champions elite. What a banger of a man he is!

Always be remembered for the Darvel result. Can't believe he got the Dundee United job after that. Useless clown of a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
