killer passer than S.Allan at any club up here.
He’s a match winner we’re lucky to have him.
Doesn't always work but by God when it does they're something to behold
Scott Allan is great to watch and must be great for a striker to play in front of. I also smile when I hear fans shouting at him to ‘play the easy ball’ when he misplaces a pass. The last thing I ever want Scott Allan to do is start playing the easy ball. The league is full of those types of midfielders.Quote:

Said it before but you play Scott Allan for those 2 or so passes a game that open up the other team and put a chance on a plate for your forwards. I hear people screaming at him to keep things simple and bemoan him being out of form etc because he's given the ball away a couple of times. I get it can be frustrating when he tries a flick here and there and he loses possession but it's worth it because he's got the ability to change the game in a second. If you try and restrict him you lose what makes him so special.
If his back heel had made it through at the edge of the box last night it would’ve been one of the filthiest pieces of skill I’d seen.Quote:

Agree to an extent, but the slack passes can also hurt you if possession is lost in a critical area. Knowing when and when not to do it is key.Quote:

Perhaps, but there's always room for improvement at any level.Quote:

The ball last night reminded me of the ball through to Zitelli in the 6-2 game.
True, it was brilliant vision, but I think the intended recipient was offside which would have been a right pisser.Quote:

Ok it was a quote from a right wing dictator who was ultimately hung by his own from a lamppost but you get my drift...
He could do with a bit of both..... :wink:Quote:

Yep, although not every striker is capable of staying onside, anticipating the pass, timing the run and finishing. This is McNulty's biggest asset IMO.Quote:

I agree with the idea that he's brilliant though and his vision/execution is a cut above almost everyone in the league.
His wee glance over his shoulder after the hooked lob onto the penalty spot which resulted in Boyle's volley at Tynie is one of the moments of the season for me. Knew exactly what he was doing. Someone with lesser imaganition passes that back to the full-back or turns into trouble. Love those players which is why Alex Edwards is my hero from the Tornados and I liked Latapy that wee bit more than Big Franck. I reckon the culture of those Hibs fans who enjoy seeing someone take a chance rather than play it safe is why he is so comfortable here, he knows if he trys and it doesn't come off we are just waiting for the next attempt.
