McGregor


Recommended Posts

Not many keepers get to McGregors age and still maintain the reflexes. Most keepers that play on at a good level to their 40s can do so because of the technical side. McGregor is a bit of an anomaly here.

I don't think many keepers in the world could replace McGregors ability to make a wonder save but ...... He was never a great technical keeper and definitely has declined further still.

Losing the wonder save ability but gaining cross ball control, etc, etc.... It might make us stronger even if we lose the odd goal McGregor would have saved.

The one thing that summed him up today was the long ball played right into the corner that was his all day, and he refused to go for it. 

He couldn't go for that one, his boots have clearly been nailed to the goalline so it's not his fault.......

Not sure I agree with that. He's never been afraid to make unconventional saves with any part of his body but he also seems a complete stickler for positioning and angles.

If McCrorie is in our plans going forward I'd be playing him in the league for the rest of the season. The 2 games he played when we needed him he was very good and 1 was an old firm win. Let McGregor play out the rest of Europe and Scottish Cup but his time is almost up and he's had a fantastic career.

Heard haliday saying that McGregor was going to make an appearance on open goal in the summer which makes me think he is definitely planning on retiring as he's said fuck off any other time they've asked.

Dogshite.

Makes unbelievable saves that very few can but defenders must fucking hate looking at him stuck to his line. The bread and butter of being a keeper he's below average at.

Great shotstopper.

Totally had enough of him. Infuriating. 

His done a great job on the whole since his return, but he's making error after error.
