Title: Cairney just isn't the one
Post by: Sammyffc on December 21, 2021, 01:11:10 PM
Big fan of Tom but my god, last night his inability to use his right foot was infuriating. There were SO many opportunities for him to play the ball to the right however he just can't bring himself to to do it. He just kept checking back and trying to pass it to Kebano.  :031:

Agree with above, very clearly obvious.

Nothing new here. TC is a very one footed player. It's an issue but not a major issue when weighed up against all of his positive attributes.

I thought there was little to choose between Cairney and Seri, neither of them were the outstanding playmaker in midfield that we needed.

Not for me... I found every player underachieved last night....they all lacked confidence

Agree both were pretty anonymous. Seri however was partly responsible for the goal so for that reason alone TC shades the choice of which was the least worse on the night.

Pretty tough to pick a MoM for last night isn't it? I was left mulling it over and came up with a blank.

I don't think anyone could of come on and changed that game yesterday, certainly not using him as a scapegoat
He's much more effective when he starts anyways, never been a good bit part player

MoM last night? 

Any one of Odoi, Bryan or Stansfield. Or indeed anyone else who wasn't playing.

That's exactly why he isn't Premier league quality.

We have a lot of good midfielders in the squad that are not playing and a few others that can play midfield when required. If I was one of them watching, then I'd expect to get a chance in the next few games if things don't improve. If we don't improve, even players like Christie and Hector would surely think they deserve a chance at starting in the #6 role and i think give the right players a chance and someone will step up.

How man of them are genuine playmakers with creative quality and have quality vision.
