ForeverAndEver 71,485 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Law could singlehandedly destroy Hibs next week scoring 5 goals and there would still be people on here slating him for it. But he won't, what's your point? He should have been sold in the Summer. Hard to ever forget him for last season especially. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to ever forget him for last season especially.He hid when the full team was hiding me and although he should never have been allowed to get away with it. Without his goals we would never have made the playoffs.Clean slate with the new manager mate. Look forward not backwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really disliked him last season as well. his speciality was to recieve a ball run backwards like a wee girl then pass to a defender. Never went in for a 50/50. he was embarrassing against the tims. but that player is no longer with us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played very well this season with what game time he has had but some people just can't move on from Ally's tenure Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just hard too forget about Law's last couple of seasons.Last season is irrelevant, Warburton kept him so he is part of the squad. The only thing that counts is whether he has performed better than other players in that position this season. Is Law a world beater? no. Is Law good enough to help us win the title ahead of Celtic if we get promoted? no. Is Law better than Zelalem, his main competition for a starting place? Hell fucking yes he is.

coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's no coincidence that our form dipped when Law was out of the team. He carries a dynamism and threat that no other of our central midfileders do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,786 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I don't even think Law was that bad last season.Everybody criticises the stuff he didn't do defensively but he was one of the few players who actually contributed going forward. 13 goals and 9 assists was a good return for a midfielder.People seem to have forgiven and forgotten about Wallace's bad performances from last season but Law's are brought up all the time.I hope he starts against Hibs because we look a far more balanced team when he's in there.

I don't think he'll ever be recognised as a box-to-box tough tackling midfielder but then that's never been his game nor, I doubt, was what was expected when he was signed.

theclothmonster 1,707 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 He really isn't, and never will be.1 more goal and 1 less assist despite a fraction of the game time. He really fucking is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger77 742 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 If Law is as good as some on here suggest, why hasn't he been given a new contract?It's simple. When the going gets tough, he hides.I would be ecstatic if he proves me wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Zelalem is frustrating as hell, there is a player there but whether we will ever get the benefit of that is highly doubtful.I think Law would probably give us a bit of drive and get us a few goals.... Maybe even get some benefit from him wanting to get a contract either with us or somewhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawrinka 88 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 If Zelalem was our own player and not on loan from Arsenal, everyone to a man would admit he's been shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
