    By all accounts his position at his last club was RW on paper only, where you would put him publishing a line up. In reality, not actually on the wing. RAM at most, but very centrally.

    TransferMarkt for they sort of stats are generally good but don’t track positions like that. Think where McGregor played Rodgers 2nd season his first stint here, remember the Motherwell final? LAM closest description of it, but it’d be AM before labelled winger.

    Oh aye? Evidence, pray tell?

    Feel free to go back and watch the YouTube compilations from before he signed. He primarily played on the wing. Just because he cuts inside (as do the majority of wingers these days) doesn’t mean he wasn’t playing on the wing.

    Aye fair that mate, I’m taking the word of some random Swedish fans talking about him I’ve seen.

    Either way though, he looks better central from what I’ve seen so far. But he’s also shown he should do much more from the wing.

    I can pick flaws in every players personal performances yesterday but that’s passing the buck away from what I think the biggest issue with our football is at the moment, and that is the setup.

    We’re relying on a player coming up with something to win games just now, on their own, not handing the tools to them to help them do so.

    There’s not a single partnership on the field between positions just now. No help for teammates, all isolated, stuck to their wee bit of the pitch and it’s not down to the players there.

    Position for him and what I’ve thought it was and definitely like you’ve pointed out, don’t know and me just repeating * because it made sense to me that, I don’t think it really matters for yesterday

    Totally agree re setup and lack of togetherness on the pitch as being the main problem.

    P.S. You’re a humble guy, Dev, and I enjoy chatting with ye. Have a good yin.
