Can Thomson and Claros play together?

[Humo]

Both of them are great players but the play pretty much the same role and against Falkirk it seemed they kept getting in each others way and so my question is do you think they can play together in the same team and if no who would you rather keep?

[lord bunberry]

Thomson has yet to prove he can still play with anyone

[DH1875]

We've got 5 games to find out.

[Heisenberg]

That's what I thought. Both very similar, don't know if either would be capable of being the one who goes forward in a two, KT would most likely be the more forward thinking but they both strike me as being the same kind of player.

[O'Rourke3]

Voted yes, first half, could not work out what Thompson was about. The short but decent 15 mins in the second half pressing forward more and doing more harrying, that's what I had expected in the first. If he's fit they should work well together. Unlikelyboth will be here next year though.

[Vault Boy]

Good players can play together. (Generally)

[GreenCastle]

Been talking about this for a while - they may be able to play together but don't think they have played well together yet.

When Claros is the main guy in there we have played well - against Falkirk it was too crowded and no coincidence once more space was available and Thomson went off Claros got better.

I like them both as they pass the ball well but it's similar if I was Fenlon would see if it works or not very soon a we need a decent midfield against Celtic if we are to have any chance to win.

[DH1875]

If we went 4-2-3-1 they'd fit perfect

[RoYO!]

May well need two defensively minded mf to pay in front of back four for the final

[Hibs90]

Claros has been outstanding all season.

He has proved in the short time he has been with us that he can still play.

Are you sure your not seeing what you want to see, he has done nothing to change our fortunes since he arrived. I'm not having a go at him but he needs to do more to convince me he has stil got it

[Albanian Hibs]

I still prefer Claros and Taiwo together in the middle

I am sure.

[LeighLoyal]

I want to keep Handling Taiwo Claros Harris as the midfield.

Claros has played well for us this season, but it sounds like Thomson still has the passion for us if the reports of last weeks dressing room stories are true.....

[Onion]

On paper it should work, but at Hamdump it failed miserably. IMHO they sat far too deep and are both too defensive minded, allowing Falkirk mf to play right through them when forced to chase the game.

If we're 2-0 up v Celtic with 10 to play, then they should be perfect protection for our back 4, but they are too similar to play a whole game together.

I think Thomson needs to stick to his role, I felt at the semi he was trying too hard and consequently found himself trying to do Jorge's job. As a result there was space where Alston could exploit.

I would have Thomson and Taiwo starting together, then Claros comes on when Thomson tires and keeps things composed when we are 3-0 up for the final 15 minutes

I think that would be unfair on Claros......For me he has been superb this Season, especially when you consider he was hooked early in that Final....He seems settled with his family here, and has been consistently good....Has shown tremendous character to battle back after Final....Maybe we will see Robertson have the same reaction?

Agreed

I forget about that final (no surprise there) and Claros being subbed early. Taking that into account he has been exceptional

[Hibercelona]

Claros with Thomson as back up.

They should both be doing everything they can in training to earn their starting 11 place.

I agree he has been very good this season however I really do worry about his lack of mobility in getting about the pitch. He reacted very slowly to Falkirk's first goal last week for example.

[jacomo]

I voted No, never.

Based on a limited amount of evidence I am prepared to form an unshakeable conclusion and refuse to change it, regardless of circumstances.

Claros is nowhere near a great player. Thomson was, potentially, a very good player. If Thomson gets his form back, we'd be better off with him. But, of course, if he gets his form back, someone else with more money will sign him.

Either way, we need to sort our central midfield out for next season, because filling the midfield with players who are capable of nothing more than making short easy passes wont help us climb the table next season. We need variety in there - speed, power, energy and goal scoring ability. Not one paced mediocre players.

If Taiwo is still getting a game with us next season, something is seriously wrong with our club.
