The Bunnet Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Cairney at Fulham is getting better every week, Cooper at Leeds, though he is left sided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Robertson as captain because he is our best player? Why not use the school playground to replace Hampden while you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtonian Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hibs fans will know better seeing him more regularly but always been impressed by McGeoch when I,ve seen him play and think he merits a call up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could play the whole Hibs midfield for Scotland in games, and in other games you want them nowhere near the team. No consistency.

Position - holding midfield enforcer.  Captain   If we play with a holding midfielder, we have quite a few options. If McTominay decides to play for us, then he would be the leading contender IMO. After that, McGinn, McArthur, MacDonald, Fletcher, Coutts, Bridcutt could all play there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, my Hibs "mates" go on about McGinn but each time I've seen him he's been as good as invisible. Not convinced he's good enough.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? just because he plays for the dirty Mancs doesn't automatically mean he's better than Scottish players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 McGinn may not be everybody's choice, however he has been MotM in 2 of his 5 caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 As captain, I'd give the job to Tierney, a young player and one of our best players, who's got the potential to get a lot better.  Snodgrass is another option but I'd be loathe to give the job to a 'flair' player. As holding midfielder, I'm adding the name of John Fleck to the list. He's not quite turned out to be the player he was hyped up to be when he first came on the scene but he has developed into a very decent player, now playing at a similar level to many others in our squad.  Pros: good technique, aggressive (I think he's currently the most booked player in the English Championship) and tenacious. Cons: at 5'7" I don't expect he'll contribute much to the defending set pieces requirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bino's Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 McTominay Man it's holding player under mourinho, look no further Just need his answer Should just call him up for next squad Go and meet him McLeish, all that shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noctonjock Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It' s  insane to think that either Tierney or Robertson could be on the bench . Not many years ago our left back options were the likes of Paul Dixon , Jay McCeveley , Steven Whittaker ( who is right footed) . None of these would get near the team now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great left back depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just reading that McTominay is to meet Southgate today. That should put an end to the embarrassment of watching guys on here happy to feed off of England’s scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine either way buy it needs sorting. Bottom line is we're offering him right now and England are asking him to hold off until another time to see if he can get into their squad in the future. Either way, it should resolve itself soon. Feel sorry for the guy if he feels allegiance to both, which is understandable given he was born and brought up in England. None of us know if he was encouraged to embrace his new 'country' or if he was brought up to believe he was inherently Scottish. Neither do we know if any decision will be emotional or financial/profile/success etc driven.......good luck to him either way but it's time to decide.
