    For me, has everything.

    Dribbling ability, passing, vision, drive, composure the lot. Most of all though it has an abundance of energy with Brown 23, McGeady 22 and Crosas 21.

    I think this could very well be the move from Strachan that wins us the league this year same as bringing in Robson and Hartley for the tail end of last season did. Not forgetting those 2 as well who are both solid and dependable and can offer a different facet should we require a bit more grit or experience.

    Thing about it is they'll only get better playing with each other as well, highly impressed with it so far :icon_mrgreen:

    Agreed hammer

    Crosas looked good today, he does passes/turns you wouldn't expect a Scottish player to do.

    All good points Hammer, and that's without saying that Naka was unreal in the first half aswel!

    Played 70 or so minutes and he was immaculate as always.

    Still to drop a point with him in the side I believe.

    Naka, Crosas, Brown, Mcgeady started in the midfield, we lacked final pass at times but as hammer says it was all there today.

    Totally agree.

    Next season, Maloney in for Naka, i think it'll be the strongest part of our team. Good balance to it.

    Midfield didn't put a foot wrong today at all think Crosas was a great addition to that today.

    It was a bit tense until we got the third but they never really threatened us to be honest.

    I think Crosas takes a lot less touches as is technique is so much better.
    As a result he gets what he wants to do a lot quicker and the flow to our play is so much better

    Could have the making of a great midfield - add Maloney to that next season, its looking tasty.

    Still our defense is rank rotten, sort that out and we will have a great team.

    It looked superb in the first half. it looked tired after 65 mins - 70 mins imo, but I'm sure once they will have played a few games together everything is cool.

    by the way, Maloney has to sit on the bench if he comes back one day. he has to prove his worth first.
