I must own up that I have been a ling time fan of Ryan Christie, so I struggled when he never got a chance to play for us. He was almost grudgingly thrown on in that cup semi against Hearts and he ran riot to claim his place as a starter. I think he has mostly done very well for us. Also, unlike many I also don't hold his Dad's boasts against him.
However, the last few months he has become too greedy always looking for the glory goal (it does look good on a YouTube highlights reel) instead of playing the smart ball. Sadly his conversion % is piss poor so it is very frustrating.
Also his dead ball delivery is appalling. He usually fails to get past the first man, or else overhits it straight out for a goal kick. He needs to be removed from these duties and instead position himself outside the box where he can fire back in clearances.
I apologise for ranting about a player who I really like, but I think our management team should be channelling Christie's skills to maximum benefit to the team. At the moment it looks like he is getting to please himself instead of being a true team player - but this situation can be rectified I believe.
