I don’t know why you think you saying this is some sort of groundbreaking insight. I think lots of people want to see McTominay in midfield and Hendry in defence particularly as Hendry plays more champions league matches so when will that question go away? It will go away when Gilmour can defend or McTominay can play on the left or we play four midfielders. I said in September that it took away the problem during the september round of games when McTominay was injured.

ManBearPig Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Posting opinions you say you know will be unpopular, then whinging when they are indeed unpopular, is bizarre behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want Tierney and Robertson attacking down the left how would that work if we had a midfield of McTominay, Gilmour and McGinn for example? When Gilmour plays in the middle or right of midfield he has the freedom to attack and control the game because McTominay or Hendry don't attack in the same way as Tierney and Robertson do. To form the midfield without McGregor we would have to switch McTominay to the left or put Gilmour on the left where question marks have to be asked if he could be as good defensively as McGregor. So it's not a point that should be discarded just because you don't want to hear a bad word said about Billy Gilmour. This forum is full of blinkered, biased idiots.

Hickey's a really exciting prospect but there's no room for him, there's every chance we have another Robertson/Tierney debate in a couple of years time with Patterson and Ramsay, Christie and Armstrong could be playing in the Premier League without making our best team, and say Porteous or Souttar have a proper breakout season then folk will want them in ahead of Premier League CBs or Champions League players. These questions, while fun, are best ignored if the team is functioning well - which it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not giving a criticism sandwiched between two compliments just because you can't take a strong or controversial view. I didn't say it was his fault or that he isn't young and learning the game just said he got done by Dor Peretz in the lead up to their 2nd goal. It’s not a case of not being able to take a strong or controversial view though, it’s literally just a case of people pointing out you are focussing on the negatives (while you claim they are focussing on the positives). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These questions, while fun, are best ignored if the team is functioning well - which it is. I just thought it was worth mentioning because it's a problem that is topic of the day - relevant to the team right now. It's only become so apparent this month as all the players are back. Just now, AJF said: It’s not a case of not being able to take a strong or controversial view though, it’s literally just a case of people pointing out you are focussing on the negatives (while you claim they are focussing on the positives). I am focusing on the negatives, I probably wouldn't post if someone else had mentioned it already. Everyone on here mentions the positives which is why I don't bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tourette Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 People are quite rightly going to ignore potential defensive negatives if the offensive positives vastly outweigh themI can’t imagine the Croatian version of P&B 15 years ago was full of chat that the young Modric was defensively suspect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the dearly departed Pep brought some entertainment and whose trolling and derailing had some skill about it. The apparent vandetta with Bing does seem to be a bit Pep-esque, but there's a complete lack of outrageous calls or obsessions with certain players. I think we're dealing with a new player (who many of us have on ignore by dint of his being boring as f**k). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It hasn't been great so far, Tierney and Robertson are just swapping. It would be better if they combined - but with Gilmour on the left side it's not going to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he was Billy gilmours biggest fan. This is that Baptiste borg something who was papped a while ago for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the EPL fixtures start coming thick and fast over the festive period it’ll become apparent.

Left Back Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Well on a night we didn't play particularly well as a team I'd reckon Gilmour was still our best performer. Did look like he was going to get on the scoresheet during the game last night. He had a few chances but wasn't to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
