Thats my view of his as well - every time I see him play he is garbage and I don't get what all the fuss is about him - too many occasions where he tries to go past someone and doesn't succeed - if he does manage to get past a player his crossing / final ball is woeful.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Last night for me was all about Mackay auditioning for the managers role - he'll say it isnt and Reagan has said its a no - but for me Mackay was only looking for the result to enhance his reputation - why wouldn't you experiment and try some of the guys on the bench, why not put Hanlon on, Cooper has been getting some good reviews at Leeds why not give him a go - what has been learnt by bringing on Mulgrew - we know we are struggling for decent centre backs yet we dont try anyone new in that position. And giving Cummings the last 5-10mins was only about trying to get a late equaliser like Managers do every week - throw on a forward to try and get a late goal.

McKay was simply touting for a job there.

McKay can go do one, in any Scotland role, if this is his attitude towards things.
5 minutes for Cummings FFS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The laddie might not be ready but you never know until you play him, oh, and BTW, ready or not, he's nae worse than that pudding they keep playing.

I thought McKay could have given more people a game and used all six subs that were permitted.

Can’t figure out what the back 4 was about. Best lb at cb, a cm at rb, and played the two tested cbs. Strange set up.

You have 2 centre backs on the bench one playing well with Hibs and the other at a half decent Leeds team and he plays neither and sticks with Berra and Mulgrew and Tierney out of position instead of giving them a shot. His comments about Christie after the game were well over the top also as from what I seen of the game he was pretty average.

Seems bizarre to give someone like Mulgrew 45 minutes when everyone already knows what he offers at the level. Surely makes more sense to give Hanlon a shot and see how he copes? Same with the like of Forrest and Gordon. You aren't learning anything new with them so give others a shot.

I know what would stifle that, lets play him centre half?????????
We had two, not one, two centre halfs on the bench, both never see a minute of game time. Tierney we all know will feature for the national team for years to come, you don't have to be a genius to know that.
What did we learn about the two central defenders who sat on their arse all night?
McKay knew yesterday he was not in the frame for the job, and even with all that knowledge, he went with a team he thought would not get pumped, rather than take a risk and actually go for it with a player playing in his right position who's in the form of his life.
Robertson at left midfield is hardly a mile away from his position, and both are very good going forward. And surely to god its not difficult to imagine how they would dovetail each others positions and help each other if they swapped positions at times.
Square pegs in round holes as usual, restricting us as an attacking force through fear as usual.
What are friendlies for if not to try people out, and give them the best chance to shine?

No wonder we fall flat on our faces if you saw brilliance out there last night.

I think McGinn is a terrific player for us with great qualities, but he was hardly brilliant last night. Take your green tinted glasses off, nobody was brilliant last night.

I dinnae think McGinn was brilliant last night, he played well though, and I certainly didn't think there would be Hibs fans talking him down after the performance.

I also said he was not the best at holding things up, and if he left which he did, we could replace him.
We have replaced him, and we are hardly suffering because he did.
McGinn is an exciting talent who did ok last night, and by saying that if you want to say i'm talking him down, crack on.
Yet when someone says he was fantastic and dynamic, i was clearly watching a different game, as i saw nobody from either side fantastic and dynamic.
