Bino's Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Extra time looming , another 30 minutes game time will do naisy no harm he should not be playing for us if all he can manage is league cup games and 10 mins at the end of games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 he should not be playing for us if all he can manage is league cup games and 10 mins at the end of games He's our best option in that position.

Bino's Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He's our best option in that position. Who would you play instead? i think he should leave Everton and go'n actually play some football somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He's our best option in that position. Who would you play instead? I'd play Naismith but you could easily go with a midfield 5 of Brown, Fletcher; Anya, Morrison & Maloney or Brown, Morrison; Anya, Maloney & Ritchie. Charlie Adam would be another decent option in that position but hasn't been called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Adam would be another decent option in that position but hasn't been called up. I don't think any of those give you the physical presence that Naismith does though. The amount of headers etc he wins etc is crucial in games like Germany for example when you'll be under pressure. See Holland at home for example.

flynnyboy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Despite his goal naisy has been utterly atrocious this evening. Looks like a player who hasn't played for a while. I'm being kind, he actually looks like a player who hasn't played for a few years. Not alone in that Everton team this evening to be fair. I like him and he is deserving of his place in the squad, as a starter, not in this form, caused probably by a lack of games. Don't see where he fits in our team with the options we have available to be honest. Great option from the bench though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Naismith will start in tiblisi, I expect Strachan to stick with the players who have took us this far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of headers etc he wins etc is crucial in games like Germany for example when you'll be under pressure. See Holland at home for example. You're going back a long way to justify his inclusion. Like I said, I'd start him but I can understand if Strachan drops him for Georgia.

Chesney Hawkes TA Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The kindest thing that can be said about Naismith tonight is that he looked like he hadn't played for a while and will benefit from getting a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctonjock Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 he should not be playing for us if all he can manage is league cup games and 10 mins at the end of gamesits better than not playing at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynnyboy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 he will play but that's my fear when you play no football and pitched into international game a half of slackness could be the difference I agree. Completely. He is way off it just now for whatever reason. He is a scapegoat for the Everton fans, but it's only just resurfaced after a period of grace the last year or so. There is a reason for that. He has been utterly shocking so far this season. Granted only a few games in. And I have watched every minute of everton's games this season including 3 preseason games that he was involved in. One thing I'm certain about though is that he'll give his absolute best for us if selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud1982 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Totally agree about naismith, absolutely love his passion but not sure he should start with his current firm,also thought he was pretty poor in Dublin.what the other option is I'm not sure . I'd like to see morrisson given an attacking role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix_Santos Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Agreed - he's a great worker but if we are hanging our goal hopes on an Everton bench warmer / league cup player then we should be worried. I think some people are too sentimental with certain players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I rate Morrison but not in the role behind the forward. Not sure what Strachan will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I thought Naismith had a decent enough game tonight, although I was only watching it fleetingly when concentrating on the Rangers game online. On that note, Lee Wallace has started the season really well at left-back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) So do we start Fletcher too who's hardly played? And Hutton? Edited August 26, 2015 by Squirrelhumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Naisy played most of last season for Everton. He's not had that chance yet this season but is easily one of our best and !ost important players. It's shit he misses out at Everton for guys like miralles who is a bawbag and no the best player I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lovely. I'll need to try and find out where old Adolf stood at Ibrox in the olden days. East Enclosure would be my prediction. An interesting correlation suggested between (presumably) Rangers' troubles and Scotland improving. Are you suggesting our players from before that period (McGregor, Weir, Naismith et al) contributed to Scotland being poorer? Or will you, like the rest of us, acknowledge that it's mainly because we had two consecutive shite managers? Wallace has started this season well and perhaps could be considered again in the future for a troublesome position if he keeps his form up and if we get promoted. Oh and he's not garbage.
