Scott Sinclair!

I didn't think he was that bad yesterday, few decent runs and obviously had a big hand in our 2nd. He still doesn't seem full of confidence but he's definitely improved as the season has gone on.

 

I think when brown is back he'll be the guy to lose his place. No way do Christie or McGregor deserve to be dropped for brown but bcoz he's captain I think Rodgers will see he's a must. Maybe means McGregor in a more wide role.

 

Maybe a change to 3-6-1 would be best for us could start as a 4-2-3-1 go 3-6-1 in attack and fall to a 4-4-1-1 in defence.

At Start
Gordon/Bain
Lustig/Ajer, Boyata, Benkovic,KT
Brown,McGregor
Forrest,Rogic,Christie
Edouard

Could switch Christie and McGregor around.

On Attack
Gordon/Bain
Lustig/Ajer,Boyata,Benkovic
Brown,McGregor
Forrest------Christie, Rogic------Tierney
Edouard

In Defence

Gordon/Bain
Lustig/Ajer,Boyata,Benkovic,Tierney
Forrest,Christie,Brown,McGregor
Rogic
Edouard

Having a team that could easily play in different formations and not have a clear weakness is good for us. On Attack Tierney will get space by either Rogic Christie or McGregor dragging a player of the wing. Defensively to banks of 4 are hard to play through having Rogic Drop Deeper would mean either one of the opposition CBs step forward or a CM to drop deeper giving which should mean our team should always have a extra man and in attack we are more than good to hear every team in Scotland a new *.

 

Saw an interesting comment the other day, has more goals and assists than Rogic this season. One is loved, the other is slated.

 

He always keeps up the record, it’s just because he isn’t playing to his best

 

Rogic is off the back of a world cup, taking knee injections and missed a fair few game's already due to injury but anyhow......

 

If anything it sbows that Numbers arent the be all and end all. Sinclair has played well at times but is mainly just average and still a shadow of hos former self. Rogic is much more effective in his overall play

 

How much of Sinclairs goals have been from open play? I’d imagine a large amount of his goals this season have been penalties, which is fine, as we’ve been noutoriously poor from the spot in the past, but it does mask the fact he’s been nowhere near his best 90% of the games he’s played this season.

 

4 goals this season. 2 penalties and 2 from open play.

 

Rogic is also top class, pulls of things you don’t expect nearly every game.

Sinclair you know what your getting and it’s usually *.

 

Still think the team is massively improved with him on the left. Even if it's just to stretch the play and create space for other players. The goals will come back too.

 

Think he's been doing okay this season, nowhere near his first season but if he was he'd be playing in the premiership

 

Thought he was ok tonight and good goal.

 

He can be frustrating but he’s still a big player for us as he’s proved tonight.

 

He's been much improved recently while still not hitting the heights of his first season.

I'd just like to see him running up the line and taking players on more instead of passing inside/back so often, or when he does that at least he should be bursting off at pace looking for the return ball or taking his marker away with him to make space, he just seems so static now for someone with his attributes, Tierney takes players on wide as much as he does these days, maybe more.

 

Right place, right time for the goal. But thought he was really poor again.
