Opinions Please.
Poor Calum definitely needs a rest. He has been rather lacking of late.
Does NL not appreciate the fact that it was identified last season that he had played more games including international matches, than any other world player. He is still being used both for club and country, surely a rest would be beneficial?

Agree , maybe with Tom n Ollie back in the mix he might get a wee rest.

Imo he looks mentally drained. He needs two weeks rest and some of MD's favourite liquid refreshment. That'll do the trick.

Awful , yesterday

A lot of players can go off the boil during the season but it's come a wee bit early for Calmac to be jaded. I don't think having to compete in Internationals has helped as well as all the speculation about his future which may have been giving him more stress.
He'll come good again....after a rest. We have the strength and depth to do this now.

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

A couple of 11 and a half month high intensity seasons in a row has caused him to become jaded already. Time to give him more rest in selected matches before he picks up an injury.

CalMac clearly needs a rest but the problem is we don't have anyone else who does what he does or can provide the necessary foil for Broony. We've seen on multiple occasions that the Broony/Ntcham partnership does not work so if CalMac's to be rested then we maybe need to look at adjusting the system we've been playing, which in itself is probably not a good idea as we've been playing well enough so far.

Personally I'd push Ajer up alongside Broony for a few games and allow CalMac some respite. Not ideal but at least the central midfield would be a lot more solid than it is with the Broony/Ntcham partnership.

Good thinking, Andy. We can't always rely on particular pairings so others have to be tried if it means some players get to rest. We certainly have enough personnel these days.

Maybe even rest CalMac and Broony at the same time in certain games, both could be doing with a rest, and try out an Ajer/Ntcham centre mid pairing to see how it works.

Yes - Broony/Ntcham doesn't work so I'd also try Ajer back in midfield again once our CBs are fit, to give CalMac an occasional break. When Bitton is fit then he can also slot in there too.

Calmac's not looked anywhere near his best so far this season, I'd have thought yesterday was the perfect time to give him a wee rest especially with the European games coming up.

Time to give some of the young lads a run out in cup games and games against low table opposition.

I don't know I prefer when we play our strongest team against sevco, not that we need to....
