Rohan 23 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 *Puts tin hat on* Its probably looks like a dutch 4-3-3 than any time this season as Naismith and Burke are both fast and nippy unlike if McCulloch was on either side. Naismith Cousin Burke looks promising My thoughts exactly. Both Naismith and Burke have the ability and mobility to be effective in this formation. with 3 central midfielders it should also lower their work in having to track back too much.

Boab 73 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 David Melvin reporting from Easter Road Walter Smith has made one change to his starting lilneup from the team that faced Motherwell on Boxing Day. Brahim Hemdani returns in midfield to replace Charlie Adam. Steven Whittaker and Kevin Thomson both make the starting eleven againsts their old club. And Walter Smith can welcome Jean Claude Darcheville back to the bench following his absence from the squad due to a family bereavement, Rangers: McGregor; Hutton, Cuellar, Weir, Whittaker; Burke, Ferguson, Hemdani, Thomson; Cousin, Naismith. Subs: Carroll, Ehiogu, Broadfoot, Boyd, Darcheville, Furman, Efrem. Hibs: Ma-Kalambay; Gatheussi, Stevenson, Hogg, Jones, Noubissie, Shiels, Chisholm, Morais, Kerr, Donaldson. Subs: Grof, Zemmama, O'Brien, McCormack, Antoinne-Curier, Beuzelin, Lynch. Gers site Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,701 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 No Buffel on the bench? The U21 rule rears it's ugly head yet again! I'm dissapointed as I don't see much on the bench in terms of an impact sub: JCD and Efrem but whats the chances that Efrem will get on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_ni 12 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 No Buffel on the bench? doesnt look like it which is disappointing. Would rather him on the bench than ehiogu and broadfoot. Dont see the point having 2 average defenders on the bench, have one in case of injury but you dont need two. I like the look of a naismith cousin burke front line. Should be a handful as long as cousin looks interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Where is Papac ? Ehiogu and Broadfoot on the bench, so is Papac injured ? If fit, I would definitely start him ahead of Whittaker. I don't like our central midfield trio. Isn't the right balance for me. I don't mind the system, I just think we should have Thomson or Hemdani holding (Thomson for me), Ferguson dropping deeper to dictate and a more attack minded midfielder further up the park. Adam, Buffel, Gow.......I don't like any of them actually, but it's all we have at the moment. I think the team should be good enough. Left back is my main worry, because I don't trust Whittaker defensively and I think it affects Weir's performance due to Whittaker's poor positioning.

The only fault (or change that could have happenned with Buffel getting in) I can see with the bench, taking the Under 21 rule into account, is leaving Ugo out and putting Buffel in his place with Kirk being the defensive sub Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
