Libero

Saw this on another site, quite amusing. Which Dictator are you? heres mine: :010: :010:

Great news, well done Mark Brown. First i'd heard of this, when was the squad announced? :006:

very interesting, :015: The only meaning i knew for 'libero' was sweeper or defensive position in football or volleyball. Busy day then TM4TJ?

i see all the posts have been merged now, woops! ****, though i was the first to get the scotland squad up on the forums here as well. Clark is the big stand out for me, he should never be in it! Lee Miller has the potential to be a good striker but he hasn't been playing anywhere near his potential over the last couple of seasons. Was playing very well when at hearts but had been mince up in Scotland since then.

Ha ha :015: i got there first though :016:

Absolutely! Chris Clark? what an absolute joke, next he'll be calling up langfield!

Fair call i think, last night wasn't one of Dods' finer performances in an ICT shirt. As you say Dods has signalled he wants to leave so why not get Caff back in the team, i say yeah why not.

I'm going to say no, i think that Duncan had a great game last night and i think Duncan deserves to keep his place after the performance last night. Black hasn't quite regained the form he showed last season and hopefully a couple of games on the bench could be the right incentive to improve his performances.

Absolutely RiG. Remember the game like it was yesterday, the passing was so crisp and accurate it was a joy to behold

Doesnt matter what division we were in, or what season it was, we have always been a far better team when playing the ball on the deck and passing it around couldnt agree more

this is what i play in fm06 :014: hey just sayin like :015: Ha ha, despite the look of that formation i posted i did actually mean us playing a 4-4-2 but i merely put Duncan further back and Rankin further forward to emphasize their defensive and attacking roles respectively. So the 4-1-2-1-2 formation was not intended to be that way. :015: No matter what happens i'd like to see Richie back in the team and possibly Wyness to freshen things up a bit. Dont know if this was directed at me but: See above with regards to my proposed formation. I praise the team when its deserved and it has been deserved recently but theres always room for improvement and theres no harm in striving to improve now is there?

Thats where a holding midfielder with good passing skills is a huge benefit to defenders who dont share david beckhams passing skills. All it takes is a short pass from the defence to a holding midfielder who can spray the ball wherever. Personally i am not a fan of the long ball tactic at all and i dont think it suits our team, our defenders are excellent at stopping attacks and all it needs is a short simple pass to a midfielder dropping deep and we can build from there. its not rocket science.

Agree with you there Harry, we cant sit back and let them come at us because they have dangerous players who can cause us problems, got to attack from the whistle. Not sure if i'd go as full out as a 3-4-3 but would maybe swap McBain for Hart to give us a slightly more attacking impetus. Need to get Rankin further forward in my opinion as thats where he's most dangerous and with Duncan in the team i think that can happen. How about: Brown Rossco Dods Munro Hastings Duncan Hart Wilson Rankin Dargo Bayne

Nope, dont think it would be beneficial to either party. Think Brewster needs to get back into managment asap for his own good and i think it would unsettle our squad. Wouldnt mind Stevie Campbell back though as by all reports he is a very well respected coach.

Its inevitable that when the squad is fully fit that some players will not get a regular game however this will not always be the case as injuries can and will hit you at any time, i hope Russell stays patient as he is an asset to the team which i feel would be greatly missed. As mentioned a bit of an unsung player for ICT who plays a difficult role in the team which doesnt look pretty but is important nonetheless.
