And I seen some of the same folk having meltdowns at the thought of Wright or McCausland starting and wanting that daft cunt Cantwell out wide.

Hence why Sterling was on the right to help Tav or it might have been more. We've got people thinking we should have played more wingers that's far more ridiculous than Clement going with Sterling on the right who was suggested for there by plenty of people. If we had anyone decent on the right 100% I'd say he made a mistake but we don't.

They may have until they score a goal down the right from Wright/McCausland being there. Also don't think I saw a single suggested XI on here that was the same.

Every single formation would be wrong though, as plenty have said his hands were tied. Sterling starts and we lose and Clement is a disgrace for starting Wright/McCausland. I think most would have preferred Sterling in the middle, but every single option came with aye but he got that wrong. Don't think anyone is arguing that he couldn't have gone the other way but it's not cut and dry that would have changed anything either. People are arguing it was an impossible situation to get fully right.

Games are won all over the park, he’s obviously decided the XI with Sterling out wide was better than the XI with Sterling in middle and Wright/McCausland out wide. I don’t think we win that game with Sterling in the middle either.

I actually cannot get in my head how people are so blinkered with this too. No matter were we put Sterling, another position was going to suffer massively. He went for protecting Tav and it probably was correct.

More being realistic in that I doubt anyone comes in for Davies or Matondo. Balogun or Davies would be ok as 4th choice. Meant to put that Cordoba in if he is signing. More the point I was making is we are only 5 or 6 away from having a team that could win the title.

Barring an unrealistic Clearout. GK - Butland RB - Tav, Sterling(Also CM) LB - Yilmaz, Jefte? CB - Souttar, Balogun or Davies CM - Diomande, Raskin, Cantwell or Lawrence W - Matondo, McCausland CF - Danilo, Dessers You add a 1st choice CB, a holding midfielder, attacking midfielder, 2 wingers and another CF and that squad although not perfect looks a lot better.

Would be happy to see him and Danny Armstrong on our right hand side next year. Energy, work rate and strong defensively. With both capable enough of going forward.

Did I say you?

5 out of 10, I’m remembering why I usually ignore your posts.

No it wouldn't, see Beale.

Two is what they did after 55, 4 or 5 first team quality players make a huge difference to that team. Some of our players aren't getting better but they can have a part to play next to higher quality players.

He's stubborn to a fault as he's not got any players he can change until the Summer. Pumped? Away to bed now I know you're making stuff up to make you're shite point.

We've played through Cantwell before and he has shite, he actively got in Matondos way one game just so he could be more involved. Of course it's to do with who is at his disposal, we tried to play through the middle against them last time and our players shit themselves under any sort of press.

GK - Butland, McCrorie RB - Tavernier, Sterling LB - Yilmaz(not fully fit), Barasic CB - Souttar, Davies, King CM - Lundstram, Diomande, Raskin, Dowell AM - Cantwell(mouthing off on Socials during week), Lawrence LW - Silva RW - McCausland, Wright ST - Dessers, Roofe Would like anyone to explain how you build a team to beat the tims without them playing badly?

Yes and injuries built up and the shite squad built buy the previous two is all he has to work with. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

What system you wanting that would work with what we have?

Beale was and is a fraud proven by his next club and what he did to ours. Clement has worked a miracle with what he has, we're still ravaged by injuries now.

Yes, and you remove him then it's not going to make much difference and people would be cursing Clement for starting Wright/McCausland.

Who would have thought a natural RB would be good at defending on the right side?

He's fish out of water out on the wing, albeit doing ok, he'd be in no mans land far up the mark in the middle.

What’s Sterling going to do with the ball?

Midfield 3 of Sterling, Lundstram and Diomande likely does nothing and leaves us hemmed in just as much.

Why? Their drive and effort has never been in question, only their ability.
