He epitomises the coached modern day CM ,neat and tidy , I’m still old school and want a CM to go influence the game positively , he won MOTM against England and didn’t tackle anyone , go past anyone , create a chance or have a shot at goal BookWorm and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d put John Fleck in that category, too. I’d even add Glen Kamara - same sort of tidy, probably puts in more tackles, but not as much impact in goals or assists as there should be. Gilmour may well develop. If you think back to a young Barry Ferguson, he didn’t have a lot of ‘productivity’ in his early days, but was frequently the last man to have the ball before the player who set up a goal. The rest came later. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call - there are plenty in here who will say ‘that’s not x player’s job’. Think where we’d have been without the back 4’s attacking contributions last year. Back to yesterday, I thought Gilmour was far more aggressive in the second half, won tackles, shook off big hits & actually got a bit of link up with Frazer. Looked a bit more like what he’s supposed to be. BookWorm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say, he quite often comes up with something like that very late in a game - don’t know if he’s pacing himself, or what? He seems to become prominent when his other midfield colleagues have shut up shop for the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s still got the legs I’d play him in his old roll without a doubt mate I’m assuming he’s gon back 15/20 yards due to his age HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 So far the only argument I've seen people have in Clarke's favour is "and replace him with who?" Let's keep someone in charge because we haven't identified the perfect person to take over. That's why you have interviews, plenty of managers will be interested in that position and they don't have to be Scottish. Vogts is shat on in the media but he had to rebuild an ageing squad and was trying to find good young players. Clarke just goes with his favourites. Gilmour probably got in too late, persisting with O'Donnell when he's not good enough and not the long term solution, not even giving Gauld a call up for a friendly, constantly picking Ryan Fraser who has been shit for years. I think it's time for Tierney/Robertson in the same team tactic to end. We shift the whole team around to fit them both in. Once Austria end our hopes next week, we may as well give the next generation a go. Essandoh, billscott, BookWorm and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis is positive, Gilmore doesn’t even contemplate it , Davis does win his fair share of tackles to , as I said if you wanted a current player to compare , a Pedro murty Ryan Jack is the one , all he did was pass it between a full back and centre half till Gerrard came in, now he’s far more positive Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
