Clarke has to pick players that are in form in March next year. If he simply picks the same team that beat 2 fairly poor sides 4 months earlier then he’s not doing his job properly. Who are you going to drop and why? Our midfield players all played quite well. We looked well balanced and they all seemed to know their job. We seemed much better organised than at any time in recent years. We need some continuity. Stick to the players who seemed to have gelled together quite well. Just because he is on the bench doesn't been he isn't an important player in the set up. He could be very useful in the later stages of the game.

Templeton_Peck Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I would go 3-4-2-1 Marshall Tierney. Mckenna. Robertson Forrest. Jack. Mctominay. Fraser Christie. Mcginn Naismith But clarke will go 4-2-3-1 as we have just won 3 games which means either fraser or forrest will miss out for a centre half coming in.

He could be very useful in the later stages of the game. That works fine for the second game of a second header but not for games that are months apart. Lets say Callum McGregor’s (just an example) form dips just after Christmas and he’s struggling for Celtic for a couple of months. Should he start our playoff match just because he did well 4 months earlier? What if Ryan Fraser signs for Liverpool in January, gets off to a flyer and is playing fantastically in March. Should he not get considered for a start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson and Tierney are full backs so don't think they could play both either side of a pretty average centre back in McKenna. Don't like both Fraser and forrest as wing backs either. Other than Gallagher for McKenna and Palmer for forrest I would have same personell in 4231 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naisy will take stick with a lot saying he’s finished but our young team needs somebody who’s done the rounds. Someone who genuinely doesn’t seem at all fazed. I think he’s the man to get wired in regardless of how much pressure is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can grab a goal, good work rate, good control and wins plenty in the air aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ano centre backs are all much of the same level just now. I thought gallagher was the better cb in the 2 games there. Stuck with mckenna as he has more internation experience and think its the cb thats always gonna play if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like souttar as a footballer but why after the last 2 games do people see McKenna as a better bet than Gallagher? Is it because he only plays for motherwell perhaps......

BucksburnDandy Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 It will all depend on who is available at the time however I would myself play the following: Marshall; Palmer, Cooper, Tierney, Robertson; McTominay, McGregor; Christie, McGinn, Fraser; Griffiths. Obviously there are some assumptions there based on availability of Griffiths and our EPL contingent. It is also very harsh on Taylor (who has looked better than Robertson based on their respective performances this campaign), Jack (who seemed to gel well with McGregor) and Naismith. Forrest flatters to deceive too often for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
