robbo cop Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Did Hutton not retire from International football?, if so then no way should be back, hardly thinking of the future. Paterson any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One little problem guys...all his good games have come with him at left back! He's actually been playing fairly well for the last few years at Villa and is a favourite with a lagre number of fans. I reckon though the main reason he retired was to make sure he could keep his place at Villa after being 'frozen out' and put out on loan during Lamberts reign. Doubt he would eb tempted back although there are some doubts over his contract beyond the end of this season at Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4Footsoldier Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Strachan was preparing Tierney to play right back to make way for Hutton coming back at left back all along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson could even make up part of a back three. Callum Patterson and Andy Robertson should be the full backs. I know that leaves Tierney out but Robertson marginally better plus Tierney more versatile and can double up as central defence or even midfield if we have to go defensive.

killiefaetheferry Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 A back 3 with Paterson and Robertson pushing on as wingbacks. Tierney plus 2 from Berra/Hanley/Lindsey, possibly McKenna in 6 months to a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The five becomes a 4 with Tierney as left back as Robertson can basically play as left mid and as a winger at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson any day. That didn't stop Scott Brown coming back. Personally I'd prefer Bardsley in games where we need to be mostly defending and Paterson when it's a weaker team we should dominate. It doesn't have to be the one player for every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has physique for centre back and I wonder if he could play there for us and get forward for free kicks and corners- he scores goals. Would need to be tested in that position at club level I suppose.

That can be clarified by asking him to join the squad and making a brief statement if he declines. That’s what I would do if I was Mcleish. He is our best right back by some way.

If Hutton has changed his mind then he can easily make himself available for selection. There would be nothing wrong with McLeish asking the question I suppose but there would be no need to make a public statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackhayes17 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Paterson has been playing in midfield all season for Cardiff, Warnock joked that Hearts had sold him a dud right back because he couldn't defend to save himself - so defo not the answer at RB. Hutton maybe best out there and wouldn't be against it but agree with us needing to look forward. Wonder if James Tavernier has a scottish great auntie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would appear he is very good in all positions. I use who scored.com as a guide to how players are playing due to the fact I find it logistically impossible to be at every single match in England simultaneously. Some on here can but I can't work out how. According to who scored he has played 4 times at central midfield 3 times at right side defensive midfield 2 times at right midfield and 2 times at right back and 7 times as a sub. He has two MOM ratings in last 10 games with ratings over 9.5 which is very high. According to who scored right back is his worst position, but over 7 which is very good (Hanley Archer and Lindsey are both under 7 in their positions) Who scored appear to be at every single match in England simultaneously. I think the ratings must only compare players in the same league Robertson is an average EPL player were as Hutton is an above average left back in the championship. Looks like Paterson is our best player in the championship no matter were we play him Edited February 19, 2018 by ceudmilefailte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
