Marshmallo Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Paterson is playing like the second coming of Patrick Vieira in midfield and people want to shunt him to right back? I'd rather stick a full back in there, whether it's Tierney or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but Martin has been chosen because he can play right back. The likes of McLean, Christie and Cummings have been called up because they were major players for the U21s, and making sure players in the U21s know the senior manager will reward any progress made there is hugely important in the day's where other countries are stealing all and sundry off each other.

Watched them last night and he sort of just thundered about behind a front man with two disciplined midfielders behind him. I'd think you'd lose something from the likes of McGinn and Armstrong if you stuck Paterson in there, he was regularly letting players run by him as he was constantly moving forward early anticipating a counter.

Got to agree with Marshmallo. If we're sticking with a 4-5-1 then playing Paterson behind the striker with say McTominay and McGregor behind him in midfield would suit me. We aren't short on disciplined midfielders (Fletcher, McArthur, McGeoch, McGinn could all be considered for that role too), if we have a player in form and scoring goals I don't see why he should be forced into defence. We've got 3 full backs in the team, use one of them at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Not overly bothered but would have liked Darren Fletcher to be in there as his experience could be invaluable for the younger midfield players. Strange that Russel Martin is there. I think it’s time to move on from Darren fletcher and his pointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lower level, I know, but McGinn's been playing well in a midfield three with, in my opinion, two more attacking players. The back three behind them does help though.

DC92 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've not seen much of Paterson for Cardiff but I'd be surprised if he's technical enough to play in midfield at international level. I know he's scored a lot of goals there but he did that at full back as well - he's a machine. I'd say his best position is probably wing-back. It makes best use of his attributes without giving him quite as much defensive responsibility. The idea of him on one side and Robertson on the other, with Tierney playing on the left of a back three, is an appealing one to me and is probably worth a try at some point in these games.

Looks like Tierney might be ruled out for the friendlies, so a chance for Souttar/Lindsay to get a call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig McCulloch Burley Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 If Tierney and McGeounch rule out than I think McLeish will call up to Motherwell or Kilmarnock to Tait or O'Donnell and Campbell replace Tierney and McGeounch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 f**k having Patterson play in behind the striker when there’s guys like Callum McGregor and Stuart Armstrong in the squad. Should be McGregor every single time for me anyway the guy is class. Now Tierney is out id go;Keeper Hendry Hanley Mulgrew Robertson Armstrong McTominay Forrest McGregor Fraser McBurnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 No issue with Hendry being called up - I think he's a really talented defender, looks nice and calm on the ball and can play it out from the back well. Slightly surprised another right-back hasn't been called up - with Tierney and Martin both out, there's no real cover for that position now. If we play a back four, Paterson is our only option, and if we play a back three then it can only be him or Forrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB 4.2 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Playing 352 / 532 absolutely suits us. It allows us to use three CM an area of strength and wing backs positions suit Robertson and Forrest/ Paterson. Junk wingers like Phillips and Ritchie will hopefully find it even harder to get into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Everyone losing it over Hendry because he plays for Celtic does my nut in. He wasn’t even picked to start with ffs whilst centre halves from Aberdeen, Blackburn, Norwich and Rangers were. Hanlon has no future in the national team and is ridiculously overrated by Hibs fans, Souttar is with the under 21s and whilst I agree Lindsay should maybe feel annoyed or called up he hasn’t been. I’m sure like myself 99 percent of the people who want him in the squad over Hendry haven’t even actually seen him play this season. ETA: well known Celtic lover as the manager too, clearly biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
