BIG IMPROVEMENT NEEDED

Going to Isreal wont be easy so lets hope big Tony has his managers hat on we missed a big opportunity to go 2 points clear in the league yesterday. I know it's early in the season but after last season you have to take advantage when you can.i think 4-4-2 the best way to go
Boruc
Hinkel Loovens Caldwell Fox

Maloney Crosas Brown Mc geady


Mc donald Samaras

This is my team what do you think?

 

I would go 4-3-2-1

Play Killen as the target man

Hinkel McManus Loovens Fox
Brown N'Guemo Robson
McGeady Maloney
Killen

 

I see where your coming from doc but do you not think the two wide men is the way to go and maybe swap samaras for killen although he still has to prove himself in hoops

 

We need to retain possession, so firstly i'd drop Brown and have go for N'Guemo and Crosas in the middle, in fact i'd go as far as to have Flood on before Brown at the minute.

 

sorry mate i dont rate willo flood i know brown is not playing to well at the moment but i still think he is the best of a bad bunch

 

Brown was far better than Crosas and N'Guemo on Saturday. I dont see why he should be dropped at all.

 

what about dropping maloney and throwing paddy mc court in there he has improved beyond recognition this season had a great game in cork midweek

 

Killens gone to doncaster.. or did it not go through?

 

Disagree. I think he was as ineffective as N'Guemo (both had a poor game) while Crosas at the very least offered a decent level of passing.

As for Willo Flood, i'm not his greatest fan either, however this was to illustrate how poorly I beleive Brown is playing at the moment.

 

Cork and the reserves is McCourt's level. Maloney is an international player with premiership experience (albeit limited!). Would be ridiculous to play mccourt in israel when he's clearly not even considered good enough for the SPL

 

it just goes to show you what a difficult job the manager has but i reckon he should give mc court a start

 

No he is still with us. It was O'Dea, Brown and Hutchinson and Ferry who went out on loan.

But does anybody know why Killen wasn't even on the bench on Saturday.
Was it something to do with this infernal Under 23 rule

 

Under 23 Rule?

 

he has showed a lot more heart and passion on the pitch this year than some players i can name he cant improve if he does'nt get the first team experience its ok playing in cork or the reserves but give the lad a chance and he will give 110%

 

I agree CT.

Killen needs match time to show his talents on the pitch.
I still remember that goal that Killen got against Gretna
that actually helped win us the league 2 years ago.
Killen had been scoring goals in the friendlies this year too.
It is not fair imo for Mogga to overlook him now. I think we will
need Killen and Robson for the Rangers game at Ibrox.

 

that's fair enough mate but i just dont think he's good enough to make it in the first team. He seems to have the skill but hasn't got the pace or fitness. If he was going to make it he'd have done so long before now

 

lets all hope big t gets it right on thursday evening or else face the wrath of the Celtic faithful the matter who he plays as usual i am sure we will all be behind the lads 200%

 

Agreed. We need to back TM all the way.

However that result yesterday was a shock to the system

 

1 hiccup is not too bad but lets hope there are'nt many more we cant afford them especially @ home

 

Ye let's drop one of our best a most creative players...We would need to get a taxi for McCourt to get to his position, he's knackered by the time he's finished the warm up!! I really don't see what the big obsession with McCourt is, is it just the Irish connection or am I missing something?
