He may be one of those players who are better than average but not quite capable of playing at the very highest level. I hope I'm wrong. Also my understanding is that he's been played on the left side of the central defensive pair which is not his most natural position.

Let the kid settle, play EPL2 level games & hopefully impress enough to make his debut in one of the cup competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the obvious fact there's a huge gap in squad quality between Liverpool & Brentfords squads Hickey is 2 years older, a full international & has played nearly 50 games in Serie 1, Ramsey has just had a good breakthrough season in the spl so the 2 aren't comparable at all at this stage.

bigfingers Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ross Stewart playing at noon. Will be interesting to see how he does in the English championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Assist for Ryan Gauld this morning. Finally seems to be finding a bit of form after a very mediocre start to the season, get the feeling he wasn't 100% fit early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Liam Kelly the clear MoM for a 10 man Motherwell today according to Who Scored. A few have mentioned him as the possible future for our keeper position so fingers crossed. Dare say he was shocking in Motherwell's European games Marshall and Gordon both got decent ratings too, so may not quite as bad as we thought in that position. Who scored also gave Stewart an above average rating for a championship striker which is pretty good considering he didn't score or win any aerial duels.

syecosse Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Elliot Anderson was the stand out player for Newcastle against Atalanta, Eddie Howe said he is making it difficult to send him on loan. Milk cup, big tournament for youngsters, U19 tournament was won by Man Utd against Rangers, Man utds Jack Kingdon impressed at CB, Louis Jackson another Scot also, Malachi Sharpe was injured for the tournament but has been promoted.

I don't think he is either, but you can only go with what you've got. Kelly is the better bet, long term, even if only by virtue of the fact he's a good bit younger.

The phrase "international standard" is the most ridiculous phrase in football. If someone is the best player available in their position then they'll play for the national team.

I fear that injury nightmare of the last year has done for him. Clarke is going to have to make some ruthless decision regarding the midfielders for the squad. We have too many of them ! Callum McGregor, John McGinn, Billy Gilmour, Ryan Jack, David Turnbull, Kenny McLean, Stuart Armstrong, Lewis Ferguson and Allan Campbell have all played in midfield for us this year. And that's before considering Eliot Anderson, Connor Barron, Lewis Fiorini and Alex Lowry who might be worthy of selection a year from now.

Only 5 of that first list are guys who should be starting games. Guys like ferguson, campbell and mclean are currently just squad filler and mclean might not be even get in squads in the future. The guys in that second list are no where near our squad. Lets wait until they actually get called up before we worry about who they should replace.
