Does it really make that much of a difference to all that to swap an attacking midfielder for a striker? (e.g. Windass for Cummings

 

I can definitely see that Murphy isn't your ideal left midfielder in a 4-4-2 and Dorrans not your ideal centre mid because both are probably more suited to more attacking roles.

Yes, I think so. With the role Windass is being tasked to play, we're kind of a 4-4-2 anyway. Putting a Striker up there changes dynamics. 

 

Like I said elsewhere, it's the manager; any set-up will be deficient, because he can't implement it properly. If Clarke sets us up in a 4-4-2 -- or a 4-3-3, like he prefers at Killie -- then we'd be better; the players would know what they are doing. 

 

I agree that those players are perhaps not naturally suited to those positions, but I think they're good enough to play their roles better if they're drilled better, and the players around them are supporting, and they just generally know their roles.

As said earlier, we looked like a team of Stuart McCalls. All running around covering everything but doing nothing else. Nothing is going to come out of a load of beavers working to get the ball back before humping it high up the park to a midget guarded by 3 giants.

Windass was never going to change anything. Most around me groaned. 

4 -0 against Barcelona is maybe just about acceptable. Against an average team like the Rhats is simply not on.

He misses some amount of simple chances and is constantly caught offside.

 

He’s young and works hard but it’s costing us points.

It’s been shown via stats that the offside thing is a myth.

Is that the same Stuart McCall that won 6 league titles with us ? 

Not one of our current squad would’ve been fit to lace his boots.

Stuart McCall was very tenacious and a good tackler.  So none of our players yesterday resembled him.

I like myths.  Look at my username.

You didn't read the earlier posts - 3 of them- 2 where I said where being Stuart McCall was no bad thing.  He's a player I admired.

My point was, 10 Stuart McCalls don't win you the league or even guarantee you a league or cup win.

The criticism was against the manager not the player.
