Samaras

Is more effective coming off the bench.

Probably, but I still don't rate him.

 

I agree. He changed the game last night. Looked very good.

 

Aye agree thing is Jan is just back from a long term injury and has looked a much better player than what Samaras is.

 

samaras played brilliant last night coming off the bench. much better than i expected anyway

 

i just dont think the guy is any good. . .

I dont see how everyone thought he played well last night. . .He lost the ball on numerous occasions in the midfeild.

Th e midfeild was strangled enough, but samaras dropped deep all the time and invariably don nothing when he got posession.

Also missed a good chance, and although his header hit the bar, he should have scored.

 

the greek

yes , yes, yes , he is much better coming off the bench, it seems he has more fight for the ball and his short bursts forward are more effective, i would prob start him before skippy , gae the wee mwn a rest for a few games.. in my op anyway
HAIL HAIL

 

I've thought this all along. Last season showed that, the amount he scored coming off the bench. Gives the strikers out there a kick up the * as they know he is likely to come on, and also lets them work harder knowing they can come off if they're knackered. Also plays well with all 3 main strikers on, like the 2-1 game againt rangers last season when all 3 were involved in Jan's goal

 

He is much more effective of the bench for sure, Skippy plays much better when he lines up with Jan because JVOH is less greedy than Sammy and is a better link up player. Sammy is very effective at what he does and as Hammer pointed out his running with the ball from deep is one of his greatest strengths.

I would play Sammy as an impact sub, he'll get goals but I dont think that he has the ability to utilise MacDonald as much as JVOH does

 

Thought he changed the game, we had more movement upfront and he ran the channels more, had he scored the header what couldn't have been any closer you would say he was brilliant, hope he regains his forms and proves us all wrong!

 

I just dont see it Patto. . .

I thought we were under the cosh for just about the entire second half, that IMO had a lot to do with Samaras losing the ball time and time again.

I think he should have scored the header, and he missed a great chance in the first period of E.T.

 

That's completely illogical.

 

All I know is that he was better last night than he has been in quite a few months.

 

got to mention robson too i thought he gave us more drive also!!!
and mcgeady needs to stop being so * greedy on the ball i lost count the amount of times he lost the ball!!!

 

He's not the best tbh but will score SPL goals. He plays too deep to be called a striker. Looks good when he's up against tired legs or our team are under the cosh using his pace on the break.

Good post alsyboy. Glad people noticed.

 

Not really he just had a loss of form but looks as though he is regaining his early season form!!!! hopefully:icon_mrgreen:

 

Hmm I dunno, he was doing pretty * good at the start of the season before he got injured. Him and JvoH would be good together as they have muscle/height, though McDonald is also rattling them in at the moment.

 

he is rubbish

 

I just wish he could find the form he started the season in. When he's in that form, he's far better starting than sitting on the bench.
