MacDonald

[Benny]

I love the guy and last season was one of our best players

He is just not good enough at this level......both of the fouls he got booked for were identical today and can see a straight red coming early in a game at some point if he continues

He just seems so off the pace and slow.......it's a real shame

[@jolslover]

Agree. Not sure why he keeps getting picked over Anguissa.

[Dodgin]

He won't now

[Robbie]

The red card was a hospital pass.

[Matt10]

Thought he played brilliantly. Solid on the ball, picking out passes to the sides to relieve pressure. Dropped back in defense centrally as much as possible to cover for Seri. The yellow he had was a result of a poor pass, in which he was advanced so he took the hit on a professional foul. The second yellow was a terrible hospital pass from Odoi. Just looked on whoscored and he had an 85% pass success rating, 4 aerials won. He was rated poorly because only his 2 yellow = red card.

[Statto]

Said on another thread, the suspension could be a blessing because it forces Joka to give Anguissa a start or two

[Ara's bacon crisps]

I just think KMac needs some help. I always assumed Slav would play him and Anguissa together and tell them to sit right in front of the back four, to protect them until they sort themselves out, like two Makaleles. Then Seri, Cairney and one other (I'd go with Vietto until Bryan is fit and then Sess can slot in there) to get us going forwards and Mitro up top.

Is KMac suspended for the midweek Carabao game v Man City, or for Huddersfield?

A pity we can't clone him and his  attitude.

Agree with you 100%.

[Baszab]

One of our better players - fitted in really well as defensive cover
Pity those around him didn't have his attitude

Interesting that K Mac never performs for Scotland.. ie at a higher level on the world stage. Such a shame because he was close to man of the season last year... it must just be that gulf in the Championship and the Prem.

Agree.  Was set up by a shocking pass from Odoi.

[Facts Not Fiction]

McDonald is far too slow for our style. At this level, he is caught out far too often.

[john dempsey]

mmm. last week it was bettinelli
who was not good enough.

[Mince n Tatties]

I would have sent Odoi off for the dreadful pass.

[bahay18]

the 2nd yellow certainly wasn't his fault ,hung out to dry by the pass. just looking at the line up  , it was always going to be too much ground to cover for macdonald and seri  in the middle. he needs to pick 5 midfielders to give the more defensive players in the team (like macdonald) half a chance of doing their job.

I was expecting the same tactics also don't know what else he could of done yesterday re the sending off.
