George Burley on Scott Brown - Page 2 - TalkCeltic

Agree with Hammer , Robson should have been on from the start ! One of the games at the end of last season, he clattered that wanker Dailly inside two minutes, set the tone for the whole match in my book. I would of benched Naka or Maloney, win the battle with Brown, Robson and Hartley, then send on Naka or Maloney to run them ragged when their legs had gone and their fight too !!!

I really want brown to do well but he's always having to run back and cover for hartley or the defence-when the defence gets sorted and he is given more freedom to rome hopefully he will come good

Still dissapointed with brown considering his price-tag everytime i see him playing in wgs system he just has a clueless look about him need's to be droped for robson.

I quite like Burley although he does sound bad when talking to the press but tbh I don't really care much about that if he gets us to the world cup or even gets us playing semi attractive football.

On Scott Brown alot of people have made excellent points about the system and the role he is being asked to play but I seriouly beleive that the guy will be one of our top performers this season. He just looks so much better and with more games he'll get even better.

I totally agree that it was a suprise that Robson never got a start on sunday but I don't know why Brown would be the guy to automatically be dropped when Hartley has looked so poor.

Everytime Hartley got the ball the pace just went out of our attacks and he looked really slow against the huns midfield, maybe not a bad player against falkirk but don't know if he's got the legs for the CL and Old Firm games anymore.

He's from Cumnock, all people from Cumnock sound bad talking!

Much as I like Scott Brown his performances have been lacklustre recently. Robson has the fire and grit and ability to run things in midfield, all the qualities Brown has but hasn't shown. Robson should be in the team EVERY week.

Naka in CM for an OF game. That's just bonkers! Our whole problem is defensive midfield cover. To me Brown isn't just struggling to fit into a system, he hides from the ball too much. He needs to impose himself on games and to do that you need to get it. Also when he does get it he doesn't know what to do with it.

Saying all that I thought he was better on Sunday than he has been. The only problem was that everyone else was worse.

Burley is an alki hun bastard therefore dont really give 2 shits for his opinion.

the man should never be asked for an opinion on football after picking Broadfoot because he has clearly no idea

DobbinS 1888 · 02-09-2008, 11:44 PM

Fs a says he was our best player on Sunday and a got abuse for it suddenly everybody thinks he played well

Clazcfc · 03-09-2008, 12:32 AM

hes ok i guess but hes very over rated and hibs ripped us off lmao

Metrobhoy · 03-09-2008, 09:02 AM

Brown had a good first half on Sunday before failing to deliver like the rest of the team in the 2nd. How so many fans can single him out is terrible.

I'd really like to see him and Robson in the middle of the park for Celtic and Scotland.
