Look at their 11 today. Both fullbacks are loans that go back, main threat imo today elyounoussi goes back as well. Not to mention guys like Edouard going into final 12 months. It's going to take them some time to replace. If we can get 2-3 bits of quality in the summer while retaining key players we should be looking at pulling ahead of them further. Thing is, we need to sell profitable players, at least 2 probably given our outlays to incomings this season, relying on CL is a minefield that has seen the tarriers end up like they are the now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,282 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’d bite the hand off you for a Barry F type player. As good as we’ve been this season, I’d think Ferguson and K. Thomson would both get in that team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside to Aribo compared to Arfield is night and day. Granted, Joe was shite today but it can't be easy playing in different positions all the time and switching from right to left. We have a quality midfielder in Hagi but we insist on playing him wide right, Look at the quality of his pass to Kent when he plays central. I don't get why we don't utilize him properly. You cant defend aribo by claiming is difficult playing in different positions all the time, when arfield has spent a chunk of his time under gerrard playing out of a position he has made his career out of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build the side around Hagi. He has potential but I still don't think we get enough out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddybear1975 1,943 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Not writing off Aribo yet. Make improvements in the midfield and allow Aribo to influence the game more in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Kent has actually had two really good runs of form this season. Kent has defo had a good run recently abd one at the start of the season, hagi is different, id say hagi's game has been consistent in that he always tries the same stuff, always plays the same way, some games it comes off and he looks good, other days it doesnt and he looks bad Aribo however, one game he gets the ball, is beating men for fun, holding it up, shooting etc, but in big games its like he's scared to try all that, its like he's afraid of taking the responsibility incase it doesnt come off and he gets bad marks for it Hagi could easily play it safe week in week out and look good, but he doesnt, he doesnt want to be that player, his goal at ibrox vs st johnstone, 0-0 tight game, if he's not brave he passes the ball across or backwards instead he makes the run and shoots and we get the goal, bravery to have a go, take the responsibility Kent and hagi have that, aribo for me doesnt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do expect we'll lose a key player or two. However trust that replacements will be lined up so we don't take too big a hit. That lot are needing 4-5 players already and that's before players are sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we so reluctant to have a speculative pop at goal from anywhere outside the box. Seems a very clear instruction to not do so. I don’t understand.

After Jack scored against Killie he said that the coaching staff had been encouraging the team to take more shots from distance, sadly other than Hagi I don't think we have a genuine threat from distance and he is wasted playing wide.
