Pat McGroin Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Is it a coincidence that our excellent run of form coincided with Muzza’s injury? I think our midfield looks a lot less balanced with him in the team. Would much rather see Callaghan playing in his role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlickDT Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Said it for years and often criticized for it. We all know what Davidson brings. He's at his best in a tight scrappy game, but and it's a big but, his central midfield partner is often left with a huge amount of work to do in order to keep possession and start attacking phases of play from deeper positions. Murray regularly is nowhere to be seen when centre-backs or full-backs need an option when they are put under pressure (a job Millar did so well for us.). I will never doubt his commitment to the cause and his willingness to put his body on the line for the club, but it's often been the case we play better football on the eye when we have a couple of central midfielders that are willing to attempt a possession football game. (Millar and Dunne the prime example.) I'd like to see us give the duo of either Callachan and Goss or Craig a run of games moving forward. Depending on the game I think Watt could be a good option in the 10 and then MOH playing on the last man upfront (in the position Tommy said he has been signed to play in).

Papa Jack Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 As Ali91 has pointed out, the original point looks a bit silly when Muzz played almost all of the initial unbeaten run. I do think the midfield is a bit unbalanced now though. Tommy wants to play Goss, which is fair enough as he's probably the best footballing midfielder we have. However....what does he do with Liam now? Not left midfield like he did at Hamilton as he;s not pacy enough to get up and down. Not advanced like he was today as players can just run off him. Could Goss play with both Muzz and Callachan with MOH and Kennedy wider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just proves you're trolling. Asks question while criticising Davidson, gets answer proving he's wrong, deflects onto something else, sounds about right.

Melbourne Saint Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 i prefer Davidson in the team. his workrate and suicidal tendencies are what we need. when he's not injured. we just need a plan to play him to his ability. box-box midfielders are difficult to find. keep the Muzz!

MySpazz Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Muzz is a warrior Heart and Passion. He'd never wear jeans, loafers and nae socks, or shave his baws - proper ****ing mentalist. Head injury, nae bother....just carries on. #legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 FWIW I agree to a point. His lack of ability to take the ball and do anything other than pass back to the keeper, or a simple couple of yard passes to the side, frustrate me. He has the odd burst forward with the ball but it's not something you're guaranteed to see every game. Hes spent the last few games letting people run off him aswell. Although against Celtic it was a struggle for everyone. In essence, in my opinion, unless hes beside a Millar, who can do all the "football stuff" for him, hes not as effective, as hes nobody to shuttle the ball too once he wins it, so he spends more of his time on the ball, which is showing his limitations.

SaintJet Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I agree with a lot the aforementioned points about Muzz being off the boil but players blow hot and cold all the time; remember not that long ago Sinclair at Celtic was being lambasted about his form and he looks like he's found a spark again and is in great form A fit Muzz throwing himself into tackles and breaking up the play is great asset for us and he always chips in with a goal or two.

tucker Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Any news on Muzz not heard much from the club about his return or injury Hoping for the best but wondering if another cuptie scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 No idea why there hasn't been anything official from the Club, but from what I have heard, unfortunately he has had to call time on his career due to injury, was a major setback following the op he went through towards the end of last year. Hopefully a decent game can lined up in the near future for his Testimonial game and we all get the chance to give a club legend the proper send off he deserves. tucker and SaintJet 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
