Ace 3,556 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We now have Wylde, Bedoya & McKay who can all play in that position yet there appears to be an obsession to bring in another player to cover that position.We don't seem to have the same obsession with our right wing, where we have Naismith, Davis & Ortiz who play there.Can someone please explain why we seem focused on one position?

Td18 3 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We haven't really had a quality left midfielder since Albertz imo, we've been crying out for one for ages. We always seem to play people out of position their as well.Edit: Took out the winger part lolol, y'know what i meaannt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We don't need a left winger because we have Wylde as a true winger and we have McKay who can play left side with Wallace overlapping which he does very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Also, why do commentators and pundits always refer to left footed players as having "A SWEET LEFT FOOT", etc? What is better about a left footed pass / cross than a right foot pass / cross? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cos88 283 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We haven't really had a quality left winger since Albertz McCann imo, we've been crying out for one for ages.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Can Bedoya and McKay be classed as wingers? None of those mentioned on the right are as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Mustard 380 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 As suggested on another thread, if we get another quality striker in, it will possibly be Lafferty who gets played there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambo 197 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'd say we are happy with Wylde as left winger and McKay as a left sided midfielder if we need to be more sturdy in midfield.I think we are fine on the right too with Naismith and Ortiz.

Gerwelly 115 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Maybe we are going to play 433, hence the amount of CM to LM or RM we have brought in. Still need a quality striker though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,730 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 All we really need now is a striker as I can see Mckay and Bedoya being used on the wing. They are versatile players which is exactly why we have signed them. Bedoya's last few games for Obrero were played in defensive midfield!

Kasper 2 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I entered feeling this was going to be some sort of political outrage. I have to agree to an extent, but I think we need another two wingers, one for each side, as well as a striker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's down to width for me. The only player in our whole team who brings any to the team is Wylde and that isn't enough. We need to have a better quality of service and Naismith has pretty much nailed down that RM position as his own.Of course we have McKay & Bedoya who can play at LM, but only trusting Wylde is a big thing to do. Having someone in there who could guide and help Gregg with his play would only be a good thing, along with competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NessFTW 40 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We don't need a left winger, we need a left midfielder.Who cares what their style of play is as long as it's effective!If McKay plays out on the left and does well then job done. Then we've got Wylde as well as back up.We most certainly need a distinguished striker and then a further injection of quality in whatever position McCoist feels most necessary.
