nvager 498 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 This guy looked terrific last season and earlier this season, but has fallen away steadily. He really needs to up his game again. He scored today, but otherwise was very poor.He has the skill, but is riding on his reputation recently. He needs a word in his ear. Generally speaking he and Black play too deep. One of them needs to move forward. McLeod is wasted on the left, maybe he should move into the middle for a game or two and gee Law up.We need Law at his best again.

Big Al 55 9,249 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Agree something not quite right ATM, think Lewis wasted on right, we r plyn so narrow might be better to go 3-5-2. Faure, Jig, MoshiniTemps/McKay Black McLeod Law Wallace Clark DalyPeralta just not doing it, McLeod not as effective on right and I don't think you can drop Black or Law, so only alternative is team above IMO.Edit: on left Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron1873 511 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Tbh he is an average player not much better. Imo not good enough to be a regular for us when we get back to spl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairo1 63 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Law is stifled when we play the system we played today. Right side of our formation unbalanced the team and was impotent. Stevie Wonder could see we needed someone wide right and Peralta doesn't have it. Any one of the two Al mentioned ok but I would prefer Aird because of pace, wouldn't argue with any of the three though. That would create more space in midfield and allow Law to use his engine to better effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a similar right sided full back (McAusland?) we would be perfectly set up for a 3-5-2. I don't think playing Temps/McKay would work as you suggest, would need to be an attacking minded full back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I thought Macleod had a great gamei think he showed today he is a great young player out of position. all the fuss about jay fulton beside macleod he doesnt look that great.

ronniemca 479 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Play him on left with McLeod in the middle.aird or McKay wide right to give the team width ,and peralta,send him to fuck back home.how we need to bring a player from Honduras with his ability is completely beyond me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,705 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 His pace and ability on the ball is a breath of fresh air. Nobody in our team is capable of actually running with the ball like him in the centre of the park so i'd have him in whenever I could Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yes not sure id trust either to put in the required effort, although McKay might surprise us.352 would suit the players we have though, rather than shoe horning players into the team.

110 steps 282 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Generally speaking he and Black play too deep. One of them needs to move forward. McLeod is wasted on the left, maybe he should move into the middle for a game or two and gee Law up.We need Law at his best again.Don't know how many times the ball came out from the Falkirk box only to be mopped up by the Falkirk midfield. No Law. No Black. Playing far to deep IMO. What happened to Laws' runs through the middle? Has he been told to cut it out? If so, why? We were rank today.

Big Al 55 9,249 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 352 would suit the players we have though, rather than shoe horning players into the team.Yep Faure is a CH, McLeod is a stand out as holding midfielder, Wallace prob even better wee bit further forward.Clark and Daly would form good partnership IMO.

bornabear 6,202 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Opposing teams are aware of Law's play and now close him down much more quickly. However, I think the tactic of playing a defensive midfield is at fault. Peralta needs to be dropped and I would replace him with Barrie McKay.

SE5 107 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I don't think it helps him having Black doing nothing next to him and no wide men who can help him out either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
