Charlie Mulgrew

Yeah, he looks like he'll be brilliant on the right. You never know though, he could turn out to be a Macherano type...maybe. :icon_mrgreen:

 

He was good with has passing and when he was on the ball.

His defending and positioning wasn't great though.

It's obvious his best position is in midfield.

I'd like us to sign another CB - someone young but with a little bit of first team experience.

 

I've obviously just not noticed. It's a massive bonus to our side.

Hes an accident waiting to happen

 

Aye, definitely mate. It's a Ronny thing as well, the man on the right always goes very wide when the centre half has the ball at the back. Left tends to cut in and support the striker.

 

Woeful performance from Mulgrew last night. The name of this thread needs to be changed.

3 or 4 years ago I would've agreed with it but not now. What's happened to him? He's normally pretty good for Scotland as well.

Hopefully it's just poor form that will come to pass and not a permanent dip in ability.

 

I really have to tell myself I'm watching a different game to other fans at times. Woeful? Really? He hardly set the heather ablaze, but I can't for a second believe that anyone thought he was *that* bad.

 

Woeful :smiley-laughing002: annoys me how certain players are praised even when they have a bad game but guys like Charlie, Stokes and Forrest get pelters

 

Mulgrew WAS woeful last night. His poor positioning led to a lot of their attacking efforts where he simply didn't get close enough to his man.

And when he did have the ball, he gave it away too often.

Worst player on the park last night.

 

I think he'll get benched when Big Dijk is back in town.

 

Don't think he done anything wrong, except a few sloppy passes like everyone else. Had plenty of time on the ball because they were sitting that deep.

Really wouldn't feel comfortable going into the CL or even EL with a Mulgrew-Boyata partnership.

 

I want to punt him.

 

Aye, and rightly so. Still an incredibly valuable player to have in the squad though.

 

But even with that, he had the skill and ability to score, get an assist and he won us a penalty. Doing that in a supposed sub-par performance is pretty impressive.

 

Aye, was a game winning performance from Johansen last night. Not a particularly good one though, he was * awful on the ball, gave it away countless times. Stood up in the big moments though, if you're going to have a bad game when you're a key player you can't ask for more than that.

If he's actually at the races in the return leg you'd reckon we'll horse them.

 

He was really really poor in the last 7 or 8 games of last season aswell , gave the ball away non stop and his touch was awful. I pointed it our on countless times and was told he was tired after a long season .
Truth is Johansen was poor last season before christmas and he ended the season poorly in terms of all round performances in those post split games . He was outstanding for a period in February and March where he was our best player - it was this purple patch that won him awards and adulation last season . This year is a big one for him .
