backup 4,724 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 We never seem to learn even after LM and BM, McCrorie has a long way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smell the hotdog 4,015 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Worst performance since he came into midfield for me. Needs the Jan break to recharge the batteries and go again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Didn't play well tonight but who did. He took two sore ones and took it on the chin like a man and never hid. Need to remember he's a defender shoe-horned into midfield to accomodate others. He's doing well. I'm not big on Jack but I thought Jack was our best player (on the ball at least) until he had to go off injured. Our problem is we have far too many of the 1 type of player in midfield with zero varierty or creativity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is always the fear with young players but unfortunately we are in no position to rest him, I just hope that stomach injury isn't serious.

Not having a go at him, he’s young and will have games like that. Big talent who’s future is bright , just needs a rest imo. 4 minutes ago, slimjim1690 said: This is always the fear with young players but unfortunately we are in no position to rest him, I just hope that stomach injury isn't serious. He’s played a lot of games lately, I’m sure he had a few for Scotland U21 when he first came into the team aswell. Will get the rest he deserves during the January break.

Escobar 13,676 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Better than he was at Killie. Badly need him to play Saturday especially if Jack is out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays the defensive mid role well and breaks up play taking a lot of pressure off our defenders, one of our better performers today with some timely tackles against a team of thugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 His poorest game for us but I think he was effected by the early knock. However I would agree the mid season break will do him good . He worked his socks off and did not hide a real footballer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 McCrorie doesn't move well enough to be a midfielder and doesn't do enough with the ball when we have possession. I think the trial of him in midfield needs to end soon. Or perhaps he needs a bit of coaching, and to play with some more creative players in there. This is not a criticism of him so much, because as others have pointed out, he's primarily a centre half, but I want to see a player in that position DEMAND the ball, even in tightish spaces, and dictate the pace of the game.

ronniemca 479 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Doesn't get on the ball enough.as a natural defender he just wants to win the ball and get rid of it.as I said in another post he should be given a Busquets video to study and see how a defensive midfielder should hold the ball and dictate the flow of the game.a good defender I think but a long long way from being a good midfielder.Barjonas on the other hand looks like midfielder, very comfortable on the ball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks comfortable on the ball and takes the ball in tight situations well but numerous times when an attacking forward pass is on he turns away from it and plays it simple. I'd like our youngsters in midfield to try and influence the game more by being ambitious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has time on his side, but probably needs good coaching. I noticed Murty commenting on him losing his man against Hibs, well I hope he notices the lack of forward thinking at times as well and gets Jamie thinking a bit more positively and aggressively at times.

Yeah time is on his side I suppose. Being comfortable on the ball is half the battle though so there is something work with at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs good coaching we should hope he gets that while out on loan to another club because I have no faith in the coaching at Rangers just now.
