What we need is players who have flair and can win a game with a bit of brilliance. Mctominay doesn't look like this kind of player but he would still be an excellent addition and would be a first team player for the future but I don't believe it would be a disaster if he chooses England. Personally I think it was a massive scoop we got Burke as he is a player that could be a potential game changer given time. That's a hard one to judge. The holding midfield role is a position you don't really notice much as a spectator but play the wrong player there and you're in trouble. Fletch might not have scored many goals for us but he'll have helped other players to play. A good holding midfielder will break up play, support his defence and start attacks. It's not a glamorous role but it is an important one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I see the Daily Star (I know) are running with a story saying McTominay is going to go with England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a glamorous role but it is an important one. I agree. Just because he wasn't dribbling past three players and arrowing a shot into the top corner of the net doesn't mean he wasn't an important part of our team. Granted since he came back from his illness he has not been the same but still played in many winning teams for us. He was a ball-keeper if you will. Keep possession and move it on to our more aggressive midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think it's rested as Liverpool are comfortable for qualifying and therefore it's a chance to give Moreno a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say most definitely a case of resting him. The tie is wrapped up so best use the chance to give key players a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see McBurnie amongst the goals, I must admit few times I'd seen him on highlights at Swansea he hadn't seemed to make much impact and I was fearing he might be a non goal scoring centre forward, a few of which we've had over the years.

Tartan Chris Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Douglas is just unlucky he's left footed, right back and he'd be a shoe in not just to make the squad but start imo. Edit: He's worth a look though. Everyone knows the quality of Tierney and Robertson and of course injuries/suspensions can happen. Liam Cooper on the other hand, what a poor defender.

Not sure how the wolves formation works but he doesn't appear to be playing left back probably more of a wing back. Not saying play him but he seems more of a Left mid player than Robertson which has been suggested. Could play left Mid in a 442 or cover in a 3511 for wing back. Should easily be in the squad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
