thedarvelmarvel 796 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 pulled at half time for booking and still keeping charging into tackles. it makes the mid field problem look worse if he is going to be suspended regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ni 12 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 thomson is a very energetic player rather than a dirty player and i dont think he can help flying into tackles the way he does. It is a problem for us as we really miss him when hes out and we could do without him getting suspended all the time this season. I dont know if we can do anything about it though, if you try to change him he wont be as good a player as his energy and non stop running are his biggest assets.

He just needs to think a little bit more. His problem is he is a tad slow, but he gives great effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 With his style of play aswell as the role that he is asked to play he is always going to pick up a lot of bookings. If he gets booked for charging into a tackle then thats fine in my book. After all if he bottled out of tackles we would all be moaning about his lack of heart & tackling. It's the stupid bookings, things like dissent (against Celtic at Ibrox) and when he blootered the ball into that St Mirren players fater the whistle, that he needs to cut out. To call him a liabilty because of it is an joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Probably just more eager than usual being our first game of the season. Remember last summer Darcheville was getting involved in all sorts, and the talk was that he'd cost us dearly, temperament would be a liability, could we trust him to keep the head in big games........besides the Lyon game (which just popped into my head there, damn ), he didn't cause us any real issues with regards to bookings and suspensions. Thomson is maturing into an impressive player. No worries at all about him this season, he'll be a key player if we are to win this title back.

davie_bluenose 20 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 His tackling isnt the best part of his game, but hes a pretty influential player or me, maybe just has to work on it a bit and cut out the back chat. Paul Scholes is a great player aswell, but one thing he cant do is tackle, but makes up for it through hi ability, not making any comparisions, but i think the same applies to Thompson.

minstral 5,375 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 its funny how i posted on here when we first signed him, and was on about the amount of fouls he was giving away and saying he would have to calm down. the abuse i got was unreal but its looking as if i was spot on.

ZimmyGer 1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Part of his development is curbing the amount of bookings but it'll take time. Showed a massive improvement last season but worryingly developed some of his old bad habits as the season wore on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 He is still incredibly frustrating but in no way is he a liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd rather he flew into challenges than not at all. We all complain when a player does not go through people, then we complain when they do. If he could just cut out the stupid fouls then we'd be fine. But if we dont get Davis or someone like him in plus an attacking midfielder and a winger on top of a quality CB, then Thomson will struggle this coming season.

waspie3 1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Probably the reason he needs to charge about putting in so many challenges is he has got so much to do covering for the rest of the useless haddies in midfield (Adam, McCulloch, Hemdani, Dailly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
