SkyBlueScot Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 I know it's been mentioned but Fletcher is getting very positive reviews at Wednesday.

However, has it been clarified that he has not done an Allan McGregor on us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had Gordon and McGregor at their peak competing I don't remember anyone screaming for both to be included, so why would it be different for outfield players? I can go back when folk wondered how we could squeeze both Bobby Murdoch and Billy Bremner into the same team; usually the world-class Murdoch got benched.

It is different for outfield players because they have the ability to play in more than one position. I'm sure you didn't need that explained to you though.

I think a few people are making a comparison with Jardine and McGrain, I think it was McGrain that played out of position? If only life was that simple.

If only life was that simple. Yes, McGrain played at LB with considerably more effect than KT has hitherto shown. Even though I loved Jardine, I thought Danny at RB and Willie Donachie at LB worked better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some who wanted them to be alternated, like England did with Shilton/Clemence: but that brings with it dangers, as goalies need to build an understanding with their CB's. Point I was making is that sometimes you just have to make a decision and stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney could fill in at RB or CB and not look out of place so it seems daft not to play them both when the opportunity arises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just wanted to say credit to McGinn. I'm not his biggest fan, given his defensive frailties, but going forward against spurs he was a standout for Villa. Took his goal well, Rose helped him out, but he was still calm enough to make the most of it. Played a beautiful defense splitting pass that deserved a finish at the end of it. And should have had a pen, cast iron.. no idea how that wasn't given with VAR (having video is great, but if you've got chumps watching it then its useless). So all round a great performance by the guy. Hope he keeps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Also, Liam Palmer.. Assist last week, clean sheet this week. Looks like he'll be playing left back for the foreseeable future tho, so not sure that's helpful for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were very valid questionmarks about the defensive side of his game, and his awareness and decision making in defensive areas. He's always been tenacious and capable of doing something special going forwards, and he showed that against spurs. Spurs allowed him a lot of time on the ball in midfield, which let him pick passes, and he made those bursting runs forward that are so effective. And in general he was kept as far away from Villa's defense as possible. I don't think it's coincidence that he's the forwardmost member of Villa's midfield 3. It's a case of letting players play to their strengths, so I'd maybe take a leaf from Villa's book, and look at McGinn as an alternative to Christie in the attacking mid role behind the striker.

The_Dark_Knight Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Bain, Forrest, McGregor, Johnston and Christie starting for Celtic. 3-4-3 formation. I can actually see Cluj winning, or even a 2-2 draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
