Me personally would play amavi but I understand why. Doesn't stop me being frustrated that we're still persisting with professional footballers that can't perform the very basics of skills.

bose Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's the first game of the season, lets back a bit off with the negativity until we've at least played a few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's so shocking about that. I wasnt criticising I really like Gardner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it more 433 with Bacuna in midfield and Ayew and McCormack either side of Rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 We're not fickle, we're always moaning. Bit of optimism for the new season, hoping that even Hutton and Gestede could do a job in this league? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Just now, Pilchard said: It also shows we aren't too far away from a half decent team - central defender, ball winner in the middle and another striker..... Going by that line up, I'd want a rb, a cb, a lb, 3 midfielders and a forward. It really is a long way from where we need to be imo. Very alarming that one of our big hopes for the season, grealish, can't get in the team. There maybe a few reasons for this but, being logical, it's probably because he isn't very good..... as a lot of us feared last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Controversial opinion: Hutton and Richards, under good management, will probably do just fine as right-backs this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Grealish's problem is he has zero end product. Like, at all. He's a bit naff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a really tough first five games.i think we'll have a good idea about this team then. You are right though.

Supervillan78 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Sinclair just scored for Celtic. Could have done a job today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
