Paddy McCourt

i would say he has earned a place in the starting line up

 

it would have to be super sub imo, hes not got the stamina for 90 minutes

 

Well Rangers for a start, he came off the bench at Ibrox and barely touched the ball- he got a chance against Utrect but hardly set the place alight; granted the team were poor. All I'm saying is that its all good and well doing this at st mirren and falkirk etc- if he keeps it up and is consistent then i'll be delighted

 

replace who? Shaun and James have started excellently. Shaun possibly our best player this far. Both of them put a shift in for 90 minutes.

 

Messi - starter or supersub?

I just don't get why we wouldn't start with a guy who is arguably our most talented player.

This stamina thing is from over a year ago: I've seen nothing to indicate it's still an issue. In any case, how will we know unless we give him a starting place?

But those two don't play the same position as Paddy.

Forrest plays on the right, Maloney plays best centrally, Paddy plays best on the left. Five man midfield.

Juarez - Kayal

Forrest - Maloney - McCourt

 

a went with supersub, though a realy want to say starter but the games av seen him start he doesnt seem to be in it much. 60 minite sub a would say but maybe he justs needs a run of games witch hes not had.

 

He deserves a few starts so we can see exactly what he can do from the start, if he isn't as effective then super sub it is, but he has done enough to warrant a start imo

 

Great shout he was horriable against rangers needs to know when to release the ball..........Hope im wrong but cant see him doing it week in week out

He is a super sub for me

 

great shout , paddy got on about 15 mins to go , we were getting beat that game when he came on , my * whats paddy got to do hat trick every game? this year played well pre season , spl games has taken part in all four games scored 2 wonder goals joint top scorer lol, maybe looking for to much ,

 

I think he deserves to start. I know his fitness has been an issue, but I don't understand it.

 

i went super sub as he doesnt seem capable of completeing 90mins on a regular basis & he is more effective when a game is streched & he can get 1 on 1 with the full back

 

Well no but thats an example of not doing well against a big team, he struggled to keep the ball the few times he managed to get on it. Nobody mentioned hat tricks every game ? I for one just want him to be more consistent as I've been saying.

 

If he is fit he should be starting ,super-sub is a harsh tag to have if Celtic are chasing a game and people say ,Get Paddy on he will change it, doesnt always work like that ,i would rather he strutted his stuff from the kick-off and rattle a few teams right away.

 

i voted starter but i really dont know my answer

 

I think Lennon knows what hes doing, its gonna be a long season for our mid field players up against hammer throwers every week and Paddy will get his chance.
Not only is he our most entertaining player but he is also the best passer we have, looking forward to seeing him start.

 

good point, cant expect paddy to come off bench and score goal all the time, i think he deserves astart , are we getting to expecting to much from him now?

 

He is an exellant supersub, not many players can consistantly do what he does from the bench.

But them days are over, he shown in pre-season that he is more then capable of lasting a whole match so people can get over his fitness "issue" and he more the deservedly should start games more often.

 

Against Uttrecht? Did he not come on with like 10 mins to go and he looked like the only player who gave a monkeys and showed drive and creativity and set up our first attempt on target.

Should have started those games, or been brought on at half time when we needed him.

 

He can complete 90 mins with no probs.

 

i think lenny has added alot to his game this year by encouraging him to pass the ball more so i believe he is a more complete player than he was last year against rangers and i also remember him doing very well against hamburg
i voted supersub but i dont really know
