HighlandScot Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Callum Paterson up front is a far better option than Naismith. Paterson is a physical presence excellent in the air at both ends of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson's goalscoring record is so much better. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWMM82 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Mourinho’s management of Scott McT has been shocking...... thrown right under the bus......... the least experienced player in the Man Utd squad and yet he throws him in at CB where he clearly looks uncomfortable, and at a time when everyone at the club are at a low ebb as it is! And now he takes him off at half time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After pushing him so hard last year and giving him buckets of praise and chances its been a polar opposite this season no real opportunities in CM and then this strange pushing in at CB last 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he can recover from this and prove them wrong! There is definitely a talented MIDFIELDER in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson has been pretty poor so far at international level and, IMO, if he's not playing right-back he's not really got much of a future for us. As a RM there are lots of better options than him whereas there is very little at full-back. He's never a forward unless he's put there for the last few minutes when you are chasing a game by launching balls into the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed he started there as he played at centre back against West Ham. Still doesn’t make sense to play him there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson is a physical presence excellent in the air at both ends of the pitch. Paterson is just not international class in any position.....his only real strength is his aerial ability! Remember watching him at RB against Lithuania at home and he was poor, against better opposition he would be badly exposed.

mrniaboc Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Another assist for Fraser today puts him back in 2nd place on points for midfielders in Fantasy EPL. Only Hazard ahead of him. Keep up the great work Ryan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's thrown him to the wolves putting him at centre half and then hauling him off at half time. He actually started the game pretty well in Midfield and was looking far better than Matic who's performance was absolutely dreadful. Very unfair on McTominay and now being made some sort of scapegoat by the fans. He actually looks a good player in Midfield as well. Hope his confidence isn't shot after this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that but then that would not explain why he then had him taken off at half time. He struggled against West Ham last week in a back 3 albeit he was still probably the best of the 3 that day. He struggled again though when moved into a back four yesterday. Although more experienced defenders Bailly and Smalling were equally as bad if not worse, especially Bailly. I just fear for his confidence after that. He must have been buzzing to get a start in Midfield and then he is sacrificed when others basically f*** up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 McLeish saying there’s been some talk of converting McTominay to centre half (not specifically in relation to Scotland). He’s big and quick, so always liable to be on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
