Squirrelhumper Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 He's often been played in a holding /QB role which doesn't suit him at all. He needs to be behind the forward where he can score and create goals. Far better options in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunoon_Ton Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Won't argue that he's been well below par many times for us but deserves another chance under Strachan if he can maintain his club form. Like others I think WGS can get the best out him Its a strange one, if he keeps performing in the EPL i agree with you to an extent that he deserves another chance, but it would have to be in friendly for me as we couldnt risk him waddling about in a real game. Perhaps he is like Rhodes in that he just doesnt fit in WGS's formation? I actually think Adam has some sort of main man complex and he needs to feel like the top dog in order to perform (i.e. St Mirren, Blackpool & now Stoke), whereas at Rangers and Liverpool where he played with better players, he just couldnt cut it. Same problem he has with Scotland perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem he has with Scotland perhaps. He's been incredibly frustrating for us, never brought his club form. You could argue that at both Liverpool and rangers he was played out of position but it's a fair point. Just think other players have improved under WGS so maybe the same could happen for Adam but as you say only in a friendly or at a push off the bench in a qualifier. Likely his last chance if he does get a call up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If he was played in an advanced role it wouldn't be the worst thing. He's got goals and assists in his game. If a loose ball fell at the edge of the box, he's the one you want on the end of it. We could have done with his corners in the last two games. That said, he's got work to do to get back in.

PASTA Mick Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Far better options in that area. Better? Maybe. Far better? Not a chance. We'll suffer injuries, suspensions and loss of form to players that are currently ahead of him. In not sure we have players that can turn a game from nothing like Adam has the potential to.

Squirrelhumper Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Adam has shown next to nothing in a Scotland shirt. Let alone turning a game. Played well vs Spain. Been rotten 90% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to disagree but majority of that was under Levein, hard pushed to find an outfield player who didn't under perform with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReid Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hard to disagree but majority of that was under Levein, hard pushed to find an outfield player who didn't under perform with him I have to agree with this, I watched him playing for Stoke at the weekend and he played a very good game. Then again I don't think Adams playing style would suit WGS playing style personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Dorrans has been outstanding in this first half, pass that led to the goal was exquisite. Looking bran new! Playing on the right could be an option for us if he keeps this up. Also morrison looking back to his best, hope they keep it up in the second half.

ceudmilefailte Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I thought the big thing missing in our last two games was delivery at set pieces. Adam for Maloney is pretty well a no brainer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Would love to see both adam and dorrans featuring alongside broony.Think both are quality but appreciate decision of WGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Dorrans and Morrison were great for West Brom tonight I thought. Would really like to see them paired together for Scotland at some point. Not convinced by Charlie Adam at international level and I don't think Strachan is either. Too often Adam's been guilty of making stupid tackles and giving away fouls in dangerous positions. He seems completely incapable of making a short pass to a teammate and his concentration is awful. Hated Levein's tactic of getting Adam to just blindly boot the ball forward as hard as he could, hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
