Takes an age to shoot and his shots often get blocked. Not sure what his best position is and maybe the formation doesn't help him but he cant stay in the team just because he runs a lot. Been better than Davis, Kamara, Jack and Aribo since the winter break IMO. Not that this means he’s been good. Easy target, when there’s others that don’t put half the graft or take haft the responsibility he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Scored a few games ago links up better when Defoe plays as he makes intelligent runs not as bad as being portrayed. Better workrate than most will have good and bad games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillStruthBear 125 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Some harsh comments on Scotty. Hasn't been his best season but certainly one who cares and there's no doubt that he HAS got quality. Just not seen as much this season, possibly due to off-the-field stuff.

MARK92GERS 807 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hasn’t been good most of the season and seems to have badly regressed could be to do with age looks like he can’t run but definitely shouldn’t be in the side he’s a good option to have on the bench though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Played some good through balls to Morelos for his chance outside the box, won the header played it back in the box to Goldson who headed the ball to Hagi for the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooooootchy 405 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I think his best position doesn't suit our set up, same with aribo. Neither are wide players in a 3, arfield isn't comfortable in a flat 3 in the middle. I see them both as players that would suit playing the role behind the striker. There's the talk we don't play with wide players, and with Kent we play 2 no10s, but 9 times out of 10 the starting position is wide of a 3 and its not natural for them. We changed it a bit last night maybe more to suit hagi but for me just showed arfield simply isn't good enough to start games in our system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 He has served his purpose in the short term, but should be moved on at the end of the season. 1st season he done great, so goes with my best wishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa6995 3,645 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Sadly he’s just not good enough for where we want to be, he’s not alone in that unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Aribo shifting to CM and Jack coming back I imagine he’ll be out the side for a little while Arirbo was absolute dung last night, as he is most games. Decision making is pish.. Couldn't batter a fish supper. He's got the ojo in him and no mojo. A blue eye that needs well dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Much much more effective than davis who seems to get a free pass every game no matter how pish he is Id love to see jack sitting, hagi and arfield as advancing mids with kent and aribo as wingers, fuck this overlapping fullback stuff as teams have sussed it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we’d struggle to get any takers for him with the wages he’s probably on coming from the EPL. Hope he comes good but if not I think we’ll be stuck with him unless we pay him off.

bluenoz 30,835 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 People say a narrative and it tends to stick on here. Granted, Arfield was not very good in Aug - Nov. But he has actually been one of the few good performers so far in 2020 and that is what should be talked about, not the past. On a side note, his header into the box last night leading to the goal was a carbon copy to his header for a recent Defoe goal. He is not great at shooting from distance but neither is Davis, Aribo, Kamara and Jack to a lesser extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent and Aribo have more goals combined than assists. Seems like a helluva gamble compared to say building onto what Hagi provided us with last night. Successfully. If we went from winning to losing because of a change of formation and system such as this then the league is over and folk would call for Gerrards head. Likely you would too. Would be mental on his part to remotely contemplate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet we sit 7 points off the top of the league, a vastly inferior GD to the tarriers who have no issue opening up teams with ease 4 goals from open play in 5 league games is a shite stat, teams seem to have us pegged everytime we have the ball, whats so frightening about changing it up, surely you cant be happy watching us toil at home to hibs, aberdeen, county and st mirren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to build on there. By contrast we could introduce a new formation for the full squad, withdraw our 2 key assisters for 2 lesser ones, and have less players in advanced positions. By the looks of it to have Kent and Aribo hit the bye line rather than Borna and Tav. I'm not saying it wouldnt work. I'm saying the risk of him doing it rather than building on a lesser tweak is madness at this stage of the season if it goes wrong. 7 points behind, game in hand, league still in our hands and all that.

bluenoz 30,835 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Now that Tav and Morelos are back and with the introduction of Hagi, we are one player away from having a really strong starting 11 and that player sd Ryan Jack. So even though I think Arfield has been good lately, he probably sits when we are at full strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
