Gribz 743 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 He had a bit of a dip in form after his trip to Arsenal but has been playing really well most of the season. What about Maloney? Scotlands player and young player of the year last season? Riordan, consistently scored goals over the last 3 seasons? Scott Brown, a dynamic attacking midfielder, in the mould of, erm, well, no-one in the 30 man squad Mcleish picked. The fact that this is for a get-together rather than a qualifier makes this selection all the worse. He has to get these guys involved. Most of these players have been enhancing a reputation over the last 2-3 seasons so they aren't one-season-wonders! A distinct lack of foesight and vision from our new glorious leader! Im with you Juff on all this but I can see why Riordan wasnt picked - His name never came out the hat along with the others! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Riordan is barely getting a game at club level. How many of these players were selected in WS squads ? Brown and Riordan were in squads as was Burke. Riordon has been scoring sonce getting into the Celtic team. Is McNaughton a better player than Smith? Graham Alexander better than Whittiker? Hughes better than Scott Brown? Thompson better than Maloney? Thompson has scored 5 this season, McFadden 2 and Miller 3 or 4. Nish has scored 8, Naismith 9, Darren MAckie 8, Dargo 7. this squad is a joke. 4 Keepers for a get-together??? 13 defenders and 4 strikers? An absolute farce. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The difference between Webster being picked injured and SMith, imo, is that Webster is alread yestablished in the squads, whereas Smith has yet to actually make one. So I can see what Eck is doing, but also see the other point of view. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I pointed out the numer of defenders early in this thread - seems ridiculous to me to have that many defenders. I do take your points Re the rest but we will really see his true selection when he names his squad for the Georgia game. Perhaps he is leaving some of those guys out as he knows what they bring. Perhaps, but perhaps not. I am not defending him but friendly squads are often different to competitive squads. I will still give him the benefit of the doubt until we see the squad for the Georgia game 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
