Scary thought BUT if we have a right midfielder who knows to get back and double up then we might stem the flow from McGeady.

Quite what we do about Maloney on the other side is another question altogether :wink:

He actually did quite well against McGeady last season

What are they going to do about Zemmama? Riordan? Stokes?

Let's leave them to do the worrying.

I dont like DVZ one bit but feel he did ok against out and out wingers like McGeady and Driver last season to be honest

From what I've seen of celtic highlights, it seems that Mowbray has McGeady playing down the right and Maloney down the left.

So how will Hanlon cope against McGeady seeing as he is better than Messi??

Totally agree. That's how we have to set out on Sunday to stop both McGeady and Maloney ripping us down the flanks, I would have Wotherspoon right midfield and Galbraith on the left. McBride holding and hopefully Zoomer behind Benji and Stokes. Hopefully we will also have signed a right back that can motor forward:wink:

I know it's not great to bash our own players, but Van Gantin' was not great at the weekend. I can't remember him having a really solid 90 minutes though and irrespective of what I think, I don't believe that he is the kind of full-back that Yogi is looking for. He reminds me a bit of Brain Kerr. Plenty of people talk him up but then they don't deliver. I can recall Kerr have a superb game away at Celtic in a 1-1 game but then nothing else.

As someone has already said, Van Zanten copes well when defending against out and out wingers. He had good games last season against McGeady and Driver. Its when Van Zanten has the ball is the problem, he does not have a clue what to do with it. Van Zantens positional scence is also quite poor but McGeady is not the type of defender who likes to run in behind the full back, he likes to get the ball to feet and try and take the full back on which will suit Van Zanten IMO.

From what ive seen of them so far its Maloney we need to worry about. On a decent run of form.

i agree mate and i also agree with davym7062.

i think thats the best way to go about things really, as somone once said(dunno who it was mind you) "the best form of defence is offence"

Yep Maloney appears to be on the left with McGeady on the right. We will need to defend well that is for sure.

Looks like DVZ has become a cult figure for abuse and ridicule.

I don't think he's half as bad as he's made out to be.

Nothing that a 2 footed challenge to his knees in the first 5 mins wouldnt sort out!!!:cool2:

So DVZ is the new hate figure then? Shame really. He seems a good honest pro, not great going forward but defends his position reasonably well. Not half as bad as some folk make out. The problem last season was that we didn't have competion for that position. When McCann comes back fully from injury he'll make it his own and DVZ will be a useful squad player.

He'll have McGeady in his pocket, nae bother (ok, maybe a bit too far there). I'd personally hope to see Wotherspoon start and give McGeady a reason for not getting too far forward.

So we leave out our top scorer and play two guys upfront who are not match fit-glad you're not the manager.

I would stick Wotherspoon in at RB.

Has Riordan ever had a good game against rantic?

I think he would be murdered by Maloney or McGeady. Cant see Yogi hanging him out to dry like that given his age.

I seem to remember the Deekmiester slamming one of his trade mark free kick into the postage stamp Vs the Holy Donkey a few seasons back too:thumbsup:

**** these smelly, dug on a string, nae sauce on their chips, skip dwelling clowns!......the ONLY way we can get anything from this game is by making sure the players that can hurt us are pegged back for most of the match chasing our wide men. Crowd needs to be positive aswell....we get onside early and it could make a big difference. What we need is a goal or a meaty stud raking challenge early doors to get the atmosphere pumped up and i would fancy us strongly.:greengrin

Is there not a chance that McCann might be fit instead of DVZ?

OK I bow to your superior knowledge. Giving Benji and Stokes a start up front is a sure recipe fer disaster:rolleyes:
