Mr Brightside Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looks short of width and creativity. I hope I’m wrong. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Looks like Ojo and Watkins off Ramirez Link to comment
DD1903 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I take it Ojo has some compromising pictures of either glass or cormack? Or both? Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Cancel David Bates contract now! If he's not good enough to get in the team ahead of McCrorie then he shouldnt be here. And yes I am taking into consideration that he hasn't played much yet. 1 Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Fits he playing, a diamond in midfield?? Lewis Ramsey, Gallagher, McCrorie, MacKenzie Brown Ferguson, Longstaff King-Ojo Watkins, Ramirez Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I hope it works out but I really hate it when we play half a team of central midfielders. Seem to have been doing it for years. I thought Hedges was back? And I see the boy Samuels was put up at the press conference and isn’t even on the bench. I thought we’d maybe go to a back 3 now Bates is in, which would still allow him to accommodate 3 central midfielders if he wanted to… lewis McCrorie Gallagher Bates Ramsay Ferguson Brown Longstaff McKenzie Hedges Ramirez Link to comment
DelMonte Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 These teams won’t play good football like promised. Maybe get a result but there’s no pace. Link to comment

Agreed, it’s basically a McInnes type of lineup. Only bit of excitement you’re likely to get is in the two young full backs bombing forward - no other players with pace of creativity at all. 1 Link to comment

This is a Craig Brown style line up. Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I assume Samuels is injured. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It's not really a surprise though is it? We knew that our midfielders were one paced and we hadn't signed any real creative players when the window closed. Obviously wants the creativity to come from the full backs overlapping. But I'd like to see us have a few more strings to our bow than that. It's fine getting crosses in from wide but you need to be able to create through the middle as well. Link to comment

We're playing a different formation each time depending on which player has the ball in which part of the park. We are going for the perpetual shapeshifting changeling tactic. Motherwell will have no idea, but it won't matter as it's too complicated for us to pull off. Can see us getting caught out. Link to comment

We all knew Glass was a puppet, but I thought he was Cormack's puppet. I'm starting to think that it's Craig Brown who is calling the shots. He's our Henry Kissinger. Always in the shadows pulling the strings. Link to comment

I’m guessing Bates needs to get up-to-speed fitness-wise. Link to comment

A 3-5-1-1?? That's the kind of formation you'd see a minnow put out against a big team. Even Scotland under Clarke played a 3-4-1-2 the other night. Link to comment

I agree - That formation was based on how to fit our best 11 players onto the pitch. Link to comment
