It seems like ppl like to slag Hanley which I can understand but truth is we have no one better. Correct. Put any of our other centre halves up against opposition of Chelsea's standard and they'd struggle too. The fact that we have no other central defender playing in the EPL or any of the other of the big European leagues tells its own story.

ceudmilefailte Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No start for Griffiths again(gets on when it's 3-0. I think he was our best stiker is more apt than he is our beat stiker. Didn't know Euan Henderson was on loan to Hearts, hopefully he will get some game time. ,Be interesting to see if Liam gets much game time for Verona  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know every one loves stats so here's some for Hanley against Chelsea Most tackles won for Norwich Most touches of the ball for Norwich Most clearances for Norwich Most headers won for Norwich The last two stats were the highest on pitch for either team. Highlight's only show successful or near successful attacks they give no credit for good defending.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think Hanley is any worse than our other cbs but he seems to take a slagging because he's had some howlers in a Scotland shirt but then so have lots of Scottish centre backs in recent years. I would probably include him in the squad as back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a guy said that i was a whack job for saying that in order to gain muscle a person has to consume between 0.8g - 1g of protein ech day per kg he weighs. Every single nutritionist will back that up. Ach, nevermind. The thread has moved on and I'd rather not bring it back down a level. McGregor looked good yesterday, capping it off with a fair strike from the end of the box. Edited August 26, 2019 by Tartan_McCole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now don’t be sarcy! Could it not be possible that a genuinely world class midfielder in Gerrard, could have coached Jack’s game to another level??

He's the only defensive midfielder in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
