kplfishtank 4,657 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 ive been sitting on this for a while but i reckon the wee man should be put back out wide right as he has been pretty poor since his switch to his "best: positionafter all he did win player of year playing mostly as right sided Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I was going to say I totally disagree, to a certain extent I do disagree as he has a tendency to come in of the wing, but there is no reason to switch it around a bit and play Naismith more central with Davis on the right.

Davie2909 21 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I would be happy to see him out on the right again he plays his best football there. I would like to see Ness get more game time in the Midfield as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,336 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'd agree with this. Edu will be back very soon and Hutton and Ness have shown they can slot in there as well alongside Big Lee Legend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govan Front Antz 15 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 He has played most games at right mid.I just think its lack of confidence with him and dropping him to the bench for a game would soon sort it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu1993 101 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 i think we should do this or either drop McCulloch for Ness, but you know this wont happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBoy11 63 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I would only play Davis at RM if we where playing a god attacking wing back. If Davis drifts in then it leaves a huge gap for us to overlap. I wish Whittaker would get back to good form then I would be happy enough to play Davis there.Or........................McCulloch.............Davis .......Ness/EduLaffery.............Miller...........Naismith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of McCulloch, Davis, Ness and Hutton, he is the one most deserving of a spell sat down.I find it quite interesting, Davis has hardly kicked a ball all season, yet, the player who most were happy to drive out of Ibrox as he "wasnt good enough" is currently performing bloody well in the EPL, after helping his rather unfancied team into that league from the championship, basically, he is completely outplaying ALL of our current midfield.

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Steven Davis is a much better CM than he is RW.It can't help when the whole of the midfield (bar Naismith) goes missing for large spells of the game. When Davis is out right and not getting the ball he tucks way in and narrows the pitch and offers no width on the right and the LB/LW can charge forward into the open space and get a two on one situation at Foster/Whittaker/Broadfoot. Edu and McCulloch provide nothing in CM, get overrun, get caught out of position, don't track runners, don't press the opposition and offer nothing going forward. At least when Davis is in there he provides us with an attacking option and a midfielder who is comfortable on the ball. But at the same time Davis has to be criticised because bar a few games, and a few good second half performances he was been very very poor this season and needs to step up!

Weiss---Davis---Edu---Naismith.Good mention of Naismith, this season he looks like the player he was meant to beI dont see how you can say Davis provides something, yet, Edu and McCulloch dont? Based on what? reputation? Both of them appear (strangely) to be more of a goal threat, Lee is far better defensively as well. Weiss regularly gets the term flatter to decieve levelled at him, yet, Davis doesnt? Why not? I mentioned Charlie Adam before, the player that was hounded and forced out, yet, based on the last 18 months, I would pick him over Davis every single time.Am not denying in any way that Davis is obviously a talent and I am delighted to have him, but, he doesnt seem to be using it often enough for me, perhaps there is a reason, but, in recent weeks, in his favoured position, he has been outshone by McCulloch, and, especially young Ness, so, something is amiss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBoy11 63 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Totally agree with this. If we have Davis playing RM, we absolutely need quality coming down that wing because Davis spends all game drifting inside. Its not a bad tactic if employed correctly, actually!It would maybe work well in Davis's favour too, as if hes drifting inside then it will be harder for him to be marked so he could create more. Ten the left back doesnt know who to focus on Davis or Whittaker which creates more havoc. This could work but only as you say, if employed correctly.

And in that formation Fleck wouldnt fit in, hes an Attacking Mid.

vengeance 0 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 yes fleck is an attacking midfileder, one we are crying out forthe bit about the tactics and the players is spot oni agree we are crying out for an attacking midfielder namely one that can actually play a telling forward pass as we are far too slow going forward for my liking but im afraid young fleck is not up to it. iv never seen him play and thought to myself "this lad is or is going to be something special"hopefully he will prove me wrong but iv been waiting for the last few seasons to be proven wrong with fleck and its still not happened.all my opinion of course :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 21 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I prefer him on the right as well. As said already, he mainly drifts into the center anyway and I don't think it's any coincidence that we saw the best of Whittaker, and Bougherra for that matter, when he was out there.Davis playing right allowed Whittaker to overlap on the right and get into attacking positions and score goals. Going defensive, he also offered a lot more cover for Whittaker and made us look a much more solid team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
