Daz1982 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Still gutted after watching last nights game, it was the performance rather than the result which is most concerning. We put ourselves in a great position with the previous results and yet seemed flat and lacklustre in a must win game. The majority of games are won and lost in midfield and for me we are just not good enough in that position. I think Darren Fletcher should have started last night, he may have been more able to control the game, this is something that Scott Brown simply can't do on his own, his passing and general technique is poor at times. I have know idea why Morrison starts every game, he offers almost nothing and I can't think of any outstanding performance he has had for us. I hear people say this is the best Scotland midfield in a generation, absolutely no chance. We have no one at the moment who is close to the likes of McStay, Mcallistair, Collins, Lambert or Barry Ferguson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Who has said this is the best midfield? I've never heard this pish. don't know if it because I don't live in scotland anymore but I've gotten to thinking the team are a bunch of nobodies except for a couple of names I recognise.

King Of Paisley Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 God only knows why Darren Fletcher isn't getting a look in. Bags of experience, has a Champions League medal in his pocket and would have driven us on last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Arguably our weakest area. We lack real creativity and spark at this level and Strachan really has a couple of big decisions to make for the Germany game. First one being should he drop brown and Morrison?

Think Morrison should definitely be dropped buy he seems to be one of the first names on the team sheet, I have no idea why. Could be a game for the coolness Darren Fletcher to play behind Brown. Think Fletcher can mentor players through a game whereas Brown can only really focus on his own game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandydon Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Morrison has done well for WBA this season playing in an advanced midfield role getting up in support of their striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannannan Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Morrison has done well for WBA this season playing in an advanced midfield role getting up in support of their striker. His natural position.Defensively poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've always just assumed Morrison was a decent player, went along with the management picking him. Was truly awful last night. Passing, first touches hideous.Got to be on a shoogly peg along with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry george Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 At the start of the campaign we were playing Brown and Mulgrew in the centre of midfield and playing well. Those two work well together. God knows why we changed things but it's been downhill since then. Brown and Mulgrew starting together in midfield would give me a bit more confidence for Monday.

Bino's Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 McArthur must be wondering what he has to do to get a start over Morrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Morrison has done well for WBA this season playing in an advanced midfield role getting up in support of their striker. People seem to have forgot this. He was picked because he has been playing well this season. I would rather Strachan picked players who are playing well and actually playing football than those who have had about 30 mins match time this season. Morrison was honking last night, as was the rest of the team but if you are basing the team on who is doing well at the moment he would be there ahead of Fletcher, McArthur, Mulgrew and Brown.

COLT NY Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'd definitely have both Fletcher and McArthur in for Monday. If we're looking to keep club combinations together I'd be much more inclined to see Fletcher and Morrison (in Naismith's role) rather than Brown and Mulgrew.

hunchy Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Problem with Morrison is he is being played slightly out of position. He is far better playing as an attacking central mid than a more defensive box to box mid as we play him. Think Fletch or McArthur would both be better for this role. If it was Fletch I'm sure him and brown are experienced enough to be able to switch role between them as nether has the same endurance now to run there legs off for 90 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
