Hopefully he might be able to get some minutes in ahead of next week, he's the closest to hagi we have got currently in the squadStarted for thr B team.
We need to get him playing first team football as soon as possible..he is something different from what we have...fçuk that was hard watching..We basically need an experienced Lowry.
Why we needed five across the back at times against this team - good, but hardly world beaters - is beyond me. The passing between those five was lovely, but got us absolutely nowhere.
Taken off at HT.Started for thr B team.
correctNotwithstanding tonight's shambles we seem to have added quality around the edges of the team and Tillman in particular looks like real quality
We still, in my opinion, need a top class box to box central midfielder with a goal threat. We simply cannot continue with a midfield three of Jack, Lundstram and Kamara in the same team. Too many sideways passes, no goal threat and can't even protect the defence effectively.
Its a glaring hole in that team and will continue to hurt us unless its addressed

Yes. I honestly couldn’t believe what I was reading on some of the threads in here lately.Some people believe we are stronger than we were last season .......
Yea but 8 of them are the sameWe have about 10 central midfielders already dont we
Worst player on the park tonight , was given a run for his money by Sands.Gio seems to think it’s Kamara.

Agreed, but bizarre we have so many with similar attributesYea but 8 of them are the same
He's not a cmIs he not called Lawrence?
Our midfield has required a box to box creating midfielder for years.Notwithstanding tonight's shambles we seem to have added quality around the edges of the team and Tillman in particular looks like real quality

Touched on in another thread - we have far too many guys in midfield that do the same thing. Its been evident for 3 seasons and we seem to have added more of the same instead of something different2008. The last time we bought a central midfielder for serious money. Steven Davis.
The likes of Jack and Kamara half arsing it with no challenge is holding us back.
Jack especially should have been phased out long before now. He’s got his uses, but he’s blowing out his arse or injured more often than not.
Steven Davis should be in next week.
It’s obvious we’ve needed money spent on the midfield.2008. The last time we bought a central midfielder for serious money. Steven Davis.

What is he then?He's not a cm
They are all too similar, it does nothing for us creatively, or from a goal threat perspective, to play all three, even if you are pushing one further forward.All the happy clappers were telling me we didn’t need a Fulgini …
Tillman is a cracking prospect as a 10, but we need an 8 and a true 8 at that.
Jack, Kamara & Lundstram are all 6’s
Played off the left at derby I'm sure. More an attacking midfielder. Don't think he normally plays central though, could be wrong just going by clips I saw tbhWhat is he then?
BafflingHow is it all of us can see that we need someone in midfield that can take control of the game and create the openings and the ones getting paid the big bucks sitting in the dugout can't.
Yilmaz must be an improvement on Barisic?My worry is none of the players we have brought in improves last seasons best 11 imo
Where to find a new Steven Davis. That is the £40m question.
Tbf it worked going to the el finalLundtsram can do that, having him CB tonight was madness
100% he is an improvement on Barasic and We’ve no even seen him play yet….. big Bassey was left back though and yilmaz will have to be sensational to be better than that. Why did we allow balogun to leave to have to play sands CB in a champions league qualifier ….. it really does beggar belief (and I’m not blaming sands for tonight before anyone pipes up)Yilmaz must be an improvement on Barisic?
Davies should come good once he's settled in.
The rest have serious question marks over them already.
At least he touched the ball a few times.Behave. Jack was worse than Kamara, could barely find a Rangers player all night.

To be honest we never really replaced Barry Ferguson. The shortage of midfielders at the moment shows you how good Ferguson was.We've needed one for years, this is nothing new and in our market, I assume they're hard to find.
Different conversation, but as a teenager in 2003, I'll never forget how devastated I was when he left us for muck like Blackburn.To be honest we never really replaced Barry Ferguson. The shortage of midfielders at the moment shows you how good Ferguson was.
Gio seems to think it’s Kamara.
Nope Jack was the worst tonight. Kamara was poor but he shouldn't be getting played advanced it just doesn't suit at all.Kamara was the worst player on the park.

Half an hour in I actually double checked Kamara was on the park.
Nope Jack was the worst tonight. Kamara was poor but he shouldn't be getting played advanced it just doesn't suit at all.
Jack gave the ball away every time he had it and looked miles off the pace.Kamara was easily the worst player on the park and that's saying something.
