Apologies in advance if you have done so previously in this thread. It certainly wouldn’t be a flat 3 of Jack, Davis and Kamara. Not at home against Killie. Equally, a midfield of Jack with Hagi and Aribo further ahead of him, as the poster suggested, would leave us too wide open. The latter two just don’t have the positional sense or work rate to do the role/track back etc. Given there’s likely no Arfield, who’d be in most 3-man midfields ordinarily, I’d go with a 4231, which has worked brilliantly at home. Depends on if Roofe/Defoe are available but, for me, it’d be the usual back 4/Greegs, then: Jack Davis Roofe Hagi Kent Itten I’d be happy dropping Kent for Wright but I just don’t think Gerrard will.

I agree re Kent, he has been mediocre for a while, not sure we need 2 holding midfielders at home v kilmarnock but having said that it should allow both full backs to get forward more often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it’s too much ground to cover for the one CM. It’s central to how we play - the CMs plug the holes left by having high fullbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRed 209 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I hope Itten will take his chance with Morelos suspended and Defoe still injured. Team needs to step up and I'm sure they will come back stronger after that poor performance on sunday against Hamilton. Gerrard and McGregor spoke well after the game, will be interesting to see how they react after these words.

Sorry but you don't drop your club captain at such a critical stage of the season when we are within touching distance of 55. He has been outstanding this season and lead from the front.

VanVeenRangers 2,535 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I have a bad feeling about this. Killie are a bogey team and new manager in the door....look what Motherwell did bottom of the league. If we dont score early if could be a grind.

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Main concern for me is Itten, he actually got a fair amount of the ball first half on Sunday, but failed to hold it up or get going forward. Hopefully was just a difficult day in the cold and wind, with the team playing badly. This is one area where I question the youth set up, we should always have a few younger players scoring goals at that level, full of confidence, and be able to bring them in for a short shift when we are way ahead, or affected by the usual suspension injuries as the season goes on.
