The Beast 9,226 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 We rely way to much on Davis even forgetting his age. The only player who comes close to his ability to control a midfield is Jack and his fitness is suspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really need a ball carrier, someone who can take the ball 20/30 yards and break lines. I haven't seen any of that today. Aribo was doing it earlier in the season but seems to be in two minds in what to do everything he has the ball at his feet. Eh? Kent must have done that at least three or four times during the match.

BridgeIsBlue 66,608 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 A hard bastard of a ball winning midfielder, and a proper box to box player. Build the side around Hagi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, not even on the bench at the bottom side in the league, so I doubt he’ll be challenging for a place in the starting eleven next season. Might even be young enough to be part of the Rangers Colts set up, if that goes ahead this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even apart from injury (maybe even to do with injuries) he's too inconsistent through a whole season. I think we definitely need two quality additions to midfield. I would like at least one of them to have the ability to shoot, and score from outside the box, something we've lacked for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balogun is not a flying fullback and when Patterson came on neither he or Barisic really threatened from the wide areas. In fact Barasic spent more time turning back and passing back into the midfield. The midfield then we're quite easily dispossed of the ball. He brought Arfield on to inject some energy but it didn't really happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why not, hagi has something the others don't, he tries the unpredictable that often might not come off so looks bad, but when it does it usually provides us with a chance or a goal, A 3 man attacking mid, kent on the left, hagi middle and wright on the right, all running at the opposition and piling forward pressing them, young, hungry midfield we can tweak and have years left in them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly not a shambles, it’s just an area where we need to strengthen because we’ll be looking at a step up in quality in Europe and it’s highly unlikely that celtic will be as bad as they have been this season again next year.

B1872 20,764 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Would still like us to go and get a bit more pace for the wide right position. However we aren’t far away and we are building a team to go and win the next 2/3 league titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,600 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Aribo great option at centre mid against 10 of the teams in the SPL but that’s it Far too often he’s going missing against the scum and in Europe. We really need players like him to be getting their foot on the ball and making things happen in these games but that’s twice in a week he’s gone hiding in big games. Love him as a player but he needs to man up and put some kind of urgency into his game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,302 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'd be looking to add 2 with a view of them taking over from Davis and Arfield long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,887 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think if we can get £5million plus for Aribo we should sell. Flatters to deceive and can’t play CM unless it’s against bottom half teams. Nice lad, but doesn’t appear to have that drive to succeed with us. I could see him doing better a club with less pressure that doesn’t need to win each week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, arfield at least has fight in him as well, if it resorts to a battle id rather be in trenches with arfield than aribo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
