valleybear Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 if we play Darren fletcher and Charlie mulgrew it will be 4 or 5 , both of them contribute nothing to their club sides and are only in the team because of who they play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaffyDunc Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Shame about Robertson. Instead of Bardsley (who isn't in the squad so Strachan presumably doesn't fancy him?), why not play Craig Forsyth, who from what I see is a left footed left back....and is in the squad. I would rather him than Whittaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 This is a blow. Whitaker is a complete liability at left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Tried and tested guaranteed bad perfromance of Whittaker against unknown quantity of Forsyth. Seems a no brainer to go with forsyth but expext it'll be Whittaker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastiebeastie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Whittaker played in Zagreb, Skopje and Molde and we won all 3. Granted he makes mistakes, but he has done a job for us in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Almost picks itself I think, based on formation and previous line-ups: ---------------- McGregor Hutton -- Martin -- Hanley -- Whittaker --------- D. Fletcher Mulgrew Naismith ---- Morrison ----------- Anya ---------------- S. Fletcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The questions are Marshall or McGregor? Whittaker or Forsyth? Do you try and fit McArthur in? Naismith up front or behind the striker or on the right? I would definitely go with McGregor and Forsyth. I think I would be tempted to play McArthur behind Fletcher and Mulgrew. ---------------- McGregor Hutton -- Martin -- Hanley -- Forsyth -----------------McArthur --------- D. Fletcher Mulgrew Naismith ---- --------- ----------- Anya ---------------- S. Fletcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleybear Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would have mulgrew back to left back now and play real midfielders in there beside fletcher who will play even although I think he shouldn't , I would also start Bryson before macarthur any day of the week , having followed the championship very closely last season Bryson is the best midfielder in that league by a country mile , 16 goals and same amount of assists would back up that statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson has been great at Derby but he only has two caps so far, in contrast McArthur has fifteen caps and has experienced big games. To throw Bryson into the deep end against the world champions would not be a good idea. McArthur will most probably play because he's been tried and tested for Scotland.

davew Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Mulgrew's positioning as a left-back isn't good enough. And Thomas Mueller is very good at exploiting that kind of thing. From the little I've seen of Forsyth, he's a solid full-back with no weaknesses in his game. I would definitely pick Forsyth before Mulgrew (although I would pick Mulgrew before I picked Whittaker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson is being kept out the team by Naismith IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleybear Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That was i think Mulgrew has been quite good in midfield especially Croatia at home and Nigeria friendly ,as for Bryson don,t think he can handle the step up as we saw against Norway where he was awful and hooked at half time Nonsense , know for a fact strachan apologised to him for playing him on right side of midfield as he's a box to box central midfielder , if he'd played there and got the hook at half time I would agree with you , mulgrew is not even good in that position for celtic so go for players who play there week in week out with their clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Steven Fletcher isn't good enough to play up front on his own. Doesn't work hard enough. Naismith will start. Fletcher should play against the team's that we will dominate. McGregor must start before Marshall. No contest in my eyes. As long as Gordon's nowhere near the team though I will be happy. Left back is the real problem. Muller will roast Mulgrew, Whittaker or Forsyth. No idea how we could stop him though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
