I got fed up saying he wasn't a right back on here in the run up to the games but I think some of his contributions to the team in other ways make him as good an option as any others we have. We don't have a stand out right back but he is far better at defending set pieces and can offer more options with attacking set pieces than the alternatives.. He also gets stuck in more than others and you need some of that on the pitch. Yes, Paterson turned out and did what was was asked as best he could. I thank him for that. We all knew that was the latest problem area for us. He's no Sandy Jardine, but what's he meant to do? With a close view in the 1st half, it looked to me that when he had to track back he made for the middle while Bates covered his position, so I think some thought had been paid to our deficiencies.

As are some of the bizarre kick off times. I understand the week of football rules but does anyone know why N.Ireland have both had afternoon weekend kick-offs that don’t really fit the schedule and we never have? Would love a Saturday afternoon 3PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Germany wouldn't beat Leipzig then I'd suggest you stop trying to match Rolling Hills nip for nip as you are obviously no match.

killiefaetheferry Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It’s an enjoyable conundrum right now. If we’re looking at the 2 goals conceded then I’d suggest McTominay is the solution. That area is exactly where he has done his best work at Manchester United. It’s an option if we continue with 4 at the back. But who would drop out ? Christie ? McGregor was certainly at fault for their first goal but otherwise had a great game in possession and in passing the ball forward aggressively. I’d be loathe to drop Armstrong - still hoping he’s going to be a big player for Southampton now he’s fit - had to subbie the fucker out my fantasy league team 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably even closer than you, row B! And for some one out of his normal position and some one as inexperienced as Bates, I thought they looked pretty secure together.
