bluenoz 30,836 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 No chance he recovers in time from that. He couldn't even walk off the park. I have a feeling Zungu is going to seamlessly fill in for Jack & Arfield in the coming games. Nothing spectacular going forward but defensively sound (like Jack) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen it before with players being stretchered off and making the next game. Not saying thatll happen with Arfield but sometimes an injury appears worse initially than it actually is.

That might actually be a good thing in some easier games, but won't work with teams that bit savvier with tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribo had started the last two games in place of him. As much as we all love Scotty, Aribo is slightly better any way. I do hope Arfield is not long-term.

He may play on Wednesday but it will be Davis on Saturday with Kamara & Aribo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor_Chang 1,055 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Big loss if he is out but a midfield of Davis Kamara Aribo should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zungu would fill that role in Jack's absence. Zungu is completely untested in the big games and was part of the St Mirren debacle.. for me vs the Tarriers it should be Mcgregor, Tav, Goldson, Helander, Barisic, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Kent, Morelos, Roofe.

.Williamson. 82,210 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The idea of Zungu playing against them next weekend gives me the fear. Looks for far too much time on the ball.

Its took him a few games to get back in his stride after the injury but he is getting there. I actually thought that leading up to the last game against celtic he was the best player in the country and i was gutted that he was going to miss it. The media went on and on about the players they had missing but never mentioned us missing Aribo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only change I would make there is Balogun for Helander. Whilst I like Helander his lack of pace worries me especially if they play the Thumb and Edouard. Helanders positional sense and reading of the game is good though, but don't know if that would be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zungu would fill that role in Jack's absence. This whole post is just ridiculous. How can you come to the conclusion that he would be perfect in that role when literally just over a week ago we learnt how much of a disaster leaving Davis out for him was? Zero to suggest he can fill in for Jack either. Zungu appears in that starting line up when it’s released next week and I will immediately feel we are weakened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
