ProudScot Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not quite an international player. I'm afraid the same can be said of much of our squad though. Deary me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 If people think Barry Bannan is the key to improving us as a team then maybe we are worse off than I thought. Not quite the point of my OP. Our downfall coincided with his omission. He is quite similar to Barry Ferguson on the ball in the way he can retain possession, although not as dominant or quite as assured. He has a bit more flair though. We miss that sort of player. Brown is erratic and can't control the tempo and Morrison tries to dribble out of situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourname Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have always liked him, and always thought he looked like a great passer of the ball ( I remember going to a game v Lithuania on a probably freezing cold Wednesday night only because i knew he was starting - and he rocked it). I don't quite understand how he keeps getting dropped by fairly average clubs. It's almost as if I am wrong...but I don't think I am. Definitely in the squad for me, as for the starting 11...depends on form etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had disciplinary problems (usually involving drink and nightclubs) at a couple of his teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 He is one of the more technically gifted players at our disposal and should definitely be more involved in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louch Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Technically gifted? He can't cross a ball and misplaces too many passes for international football. Don't mistake him being wee and trying world cup balls for being a great talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyD Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 He can't cross a ball and misplaces too many passes i'd suggest you haven't seen him play lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mistake him being wee and trying world cup balls for being a great talent I must be thinking of a different Scotland team that was able to pass convincingly against Wales at home, Georgia away, Ireland away and Poland at home. Bannan's passing is infinitely better than Morrison and Brown have been lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
