Don Fonte Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, Ke1t said: Out most creative player, and Robson plays him so far back that any chances of defence-splitting passes or genius-level pinpoint through balls are going to be few and far between, unless he works on getting another 20 yards on the ball, is another one of Barry's 'odd' tactics. He's not some hard tackling midfielder, so if he's supposed to be protecting what little defence we have I'd suggest he's being played in entirely the wrong role. Correctamundo from as far away as the good old USA. And anyone wonders why he's unsettled. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Don Fonte said: According to Robson 'has to protect him, lots of games etc'. Before an international break? Thought the Shinnie sub was weird as well. It's only September and he's away to have 2 weeks off. Link to comment

He spent the whole Hacken game and the Hibs game running chasing balls over his head and then having to get back to defend, he’s getting on now and doesn’t have the speed or energy to do that Thursday and Sunday. Selling Ramadani seems the second stupidest decision of the transfer window only surpassed by not replacing him Link to comment

We’ve been crying out for a good number 10 for years. So of course when we sign one we will play him deep just in front of the defence Link to comment

I think Clarkson will be fine a little further forward with balls too him on the bloody ground!! He, just like every modern player can't play every game but its the break next week and early in the season so should have started. As you say though we are missing someone else in midfield, possibly two players. Someone like Joe Newell would do for us. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I thought we were better before Clarkson came on. Then we were back to hoping he can hit Miovski behind their defence with 50 yard passes. Just play the lad further forward for fucks sake where he can do some damage. He's not suited to a midfield battle. Link to comment

Yes not signing a replacement for Ramadani has been a big mistake. Need to look to get someone in from the free agent list before our game at Hearts. 1 Link to comment

Totally agree. His ability is lost by playing him so deep. 1 Link to comment
alscotoz Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The way he's being utilised is as stupid as how McInnes used maddison. 1 Link to comment

CCB III Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 4-2-3-1 with him in the hole behind the striker, given the freedom to roam and get on the ball. Link to comment

DelMonte Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Clarkson could do with playing the simple pass more often. Link to comment
Snelders Snottters 89 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Why would you play Clarkson so deep like 10p robson thinks shinnie is better in a more advanced midfielder role. Robson is a buffoon. Link to comment
