Midfield for Europe?

Barca, City, and even Gladbach have top, top midfields. It's where a game is won and lost, and Bitton and Brown in the middle won't win games for us like I believe a McCarthy-Brown pairing could have at least contributed to victories massively. So my question is, how do we combat our weaknesses with the players we have? Who do we pick for midfield to try and offer protection to the back 4 which we so desperately needed in the form of a new player, but who we are gonna have to pick from the deadwood/youngsters?

I would go with a Brown-Ajer pairing. I believe he is no worse than McGregor, Armstrong or Bitton (who is utter *, imho worse than the other 2), and he can only get better with big game experience. He has shown in glimpses why he was so highly rated in Norway. I know many will say he's too young, but what does age matter when it comes to ability?

 

Tbh in Israel, Bitton was actually the best out of a bad lot in that area.

Him and Brown just don't go.

Tbh, in the centre of midfield it's Rogic and the rest I couldn't give a * if they left tomorrow. They needed a DM and possibly another midfield who can get about and at least pass the ball.

Thankfully we look a lot better going forward, defensively we're still * and the midfield is pitiful, tbh, we're only really 1 player new from that * pitiful performance against the * over the water who absolutely owned that centre of midfield.

Whilst I can't see it, if anyone can Celtic can.

 

Too soon.

 

A two man midfield would get ripped apart by those teams regardless. We'll probably have to have an extra body in there anyways. I'd go maybe Ajer, Brown and Bitton. Can't be arsed with McGregor and Armstrong.

 

I've said it before, if we don't sign another DM this window why don't we consider converting Sviatchenko into a DM, as I think he has all the right attributes to be able to make that move. It would leave Toure,Lustig,and Jozo rotated as the first pick CB's,and Gamboa could slot into the RB spot.

Brown and Sviatchenko look a much stronger midfield pair than Brown and Biton to me.

I wonder if Brendan is thinking of this exact move ?.

 

Our midfield is nowhere near good enough.

 

We will need every single player to be on top form, a bit of luck and total determination to even get a single point in the CL.

We're in trouble with this midfield.

Could be a zero pointer group for us.

 

Would be great to have one, yes.

 

Just play a 5-5

 

We needed a midfielder like broony, but better. Strong experienced, and skillful.

Instead we have a shaky midfield with and inexperienced new Right Back, an ageing Kolo toure who has yet to gel with the team, and a new striker who gets 15 mins a game.

Sending the bhoys into the lions den for a paycheck.

Football is money and business, its not even about the ambition to win.

 

Get Mcgregor to *, ok for SPL but nowhere hear good enough against the big boys in the CL

Armstrong not up to it either

 

Come on now.

 

A player with 50 caps for his nation is inexperienced ?

 

Stick Ambrose DM. Yaaaaaas.

 

Brown
Bitton Rogic​

 

brown and bitton are pish together just look at the sevco game semi final ,and i expected at least 2 signings for the midfield for the champions league to give us a bit of a chance and so disappointed we got nothing in .

 

We are fuvked for champions league. Well done Lawwell ya * *. Teams will have a great time against us.
