Goals and assists are what is required. I'm disappointed to see him in the team but that's down to the manager, not the player himself. Hopefully today is the day he finds some form because it's deserted him all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
middli 1,579 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Jack on the bench is a huge call as we really struggled last time against hearts without him. Aribo and Arfield need to show an improvement today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,207 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Resting Jack cost us at Tynecastle iirc, should still have enough to win this though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been off the pace when getting balls played to him, he's been quick to get rid of the ball and because he's played out wide when he does get the ball there he's been unable to run with ball. Can't cover the ground that the likes of Jones/ojo will. He's been living on last seasons end of season performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is he is industrious in the midfield and is involved in forward play. He isn't on goal scoring form but I dont see who could replace him from the bench? Don't say Stewart because he isn't anywhere near the level he needs to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart has at least provided a goal threat and assists when he’s played, if you looked at the impact both have had when they’ve played this season then Stewart should be playing all day long. I’m a big fan of Arfield but he’s well off it at the moment regardless of what the cause is. Putting in a shift just isn’t enough, last season he was putting in a shift and winning the ball getting us up the park where as this season he’s just running about like a headless chicken not really contributing anything other than losing possession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning games and giving better account of ourselves in games . Unlike a few years ago , when we were being embarrassed . Arfield will come good again .

He hasn't had much oppertunity to prove himself though so I take your point he could maybe start over Arf as he is definitely off form just now. Today lets just hope Arfy ends all debate haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree about Stewart, but perhaps its time to give him a chance considering how poor both Arfield and Ojo have performed recently. That position in the team is clearly a problem for us at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLaudrup 4,566 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It’s going to be a long old season.
