Bitton in midfield???
Or is it Ajer???

 

[Smelltheg-love]

I would give young hazard a shot at this game he signed a 7year contract not too long ago dont recall any other player who had a 7 year contract must be decent give him a go

Think the name puts people off
Doesn’t fill you with confidence

Its always been my opinion that brown playing in midfield has hindered players like bitton and to some extent ntcham and mcgregor. Not so much mcgregor but if you think of the amount of CM we have lost over the years due to the managers reluctance to drop brown. We don't need 2 holding midfielders. Yet guys like bitton, ntcham, Henderson, possibly turnbull and soro have not been given the chance to stake a claim for that holding midfield role due to brown never being allowed to miss a game for what ever reason, and I believe all those players are technically better players than brown.

Instead they are made to play along side him and when the results don't go our way. Those guys are dropped and brown continues to play

If hes anything close to his namesakes Thorgen and Eden he'll be outstanding

It’s a fair point
I think this is the first year that I could question any manager picking brown
Last year he was a bit iffy at times but when it mattered on the run in he produced
I’m baffled this year though

Depends on the pronunciation

Should be Ajer who's in midfield but it will likely be Bitton taking up CalMac's spot. Can't see Lenny going with a Broony/Ajer central midfield partnership.

Ajer/CalMac seems the most likely pairing if Ajer was to be moved back into midfield.

Tbf to lenny he took him off last game he was miles off the pace and a sending off waiting to happen. I thought it would be ht he brought him off but was halfway through the 2nd half

Looks like a return to 3-5-2
Positives, Ajeti/Edouard partnership up front, Christie back into centre midfield and the return of Rogic who tends to shine in these types of games
Negatives, Brown starting, Elhamed as a wing back, no youngsters given a chance

I'd love it, if was a 4-4-2 diamond with Bitton at the base, but you are right it looks a 3-5-2

All our songs get pinched by clubs all over Europe

They'll be stealing eddys song probably as well " I wanna be a kent"

I would have a better chance 50 Shades of starting before Bain,,well maybe not,I dont know how long I would need to sit in the new lounge for to get to know the rest of the Bhoys..
Then there is that wee bit of athrytis I have in my right leg,,I might be a couple of weeks away yet,at least I wil have got to know the Bhoys a bit better..
