Dylan McGeouch

That would make him a few months old


15-1-93

I'm sure you mean

 

Same I feel let down past few times I've seen him

 

He's 20, he clearly has talent, we just need to wait until he can settle into the team. His performance at Dundee and a few of his other performances this season have been very good. This season has been interrupted with injuries. Next season is a very important one for him however.

 

would stick him out on loan next season he may come back a better player after that

 

:smiley-laughing002: Ha yep, thats what I meant.

 

Needs to play in his natural position

 

The way Martinez plays Maloney for Wigan is exactly how McGeouch/Rogic should play for Celtic. The free, roaming, creative role behind the striker. Lennon NEEDS to do this.

 

Couldn't agree more

 

Why?

When you have attacking talent like Hooper, Stokes, Commons and Forrest, the rest will just have to bide their time and try to force their way in.

 

I think Dylan should be deployed in a number 10 role behind the main striker (either Stokes or Hooper or whoever) with either Forrest or Commons wide right and Samaras wide left. And two of Brown/Ledley/Wanyama/Kayal as holding midfielders.

He'd excel in that role and so would the team imo.

Or a complete change of style.

so either.

Forster
Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Izzy
Wanyama Ledley
Commons McGeoch Samaras
Hooper

Basically anything like this or variations like this would get the best out of McGeoch imo. He's not really a classic winger, so we'd need a complete change of style to accommodate McGeoch, however the negatives are that vital players would missout.

Little guy for palace really reminded me of mcgeough,the boy Williams who plays for Wales aswell,highly rated youngster who's a first team player and the way he runs and dribbles is what Dylan should be doing and given a chance in an advanced position behind the striker running at pace with his trickery unlocking defences...

 

Aye I thought that when I first seen him too, really similar player. So is Townsend from QPR.

 

He's got talent that kid,I rate him...

Townsend is another who's flourished with first team football

 

Totally agree. Been saying this for months. I think most folk can see that that's McGeouch's and Rogic's natural role. I find it quite disturbing that Neil clearly either doesn't know this or refuses to act on it.

EDIT: I've also long wanted us to use a 4-2-3-1 - and again, most fans I know endorse this formation as well. I know NL's the manager for a reason - he knows better than your average fan (or he's supposed to anyway) - but his refusal to experiment with a system that would seem v likely to fit our team like a glove is confusing and surprising.

 

...Because McGeouch and Rogic are a different type of attacking player to those you listed: they're central attacking midfielders, and we don't tend to use those. So either we start using a formation that utilises that kind of player, or we stick McG and Rogic in central midfield with the ball-winners and waste them.

 

I also find it strange that he doesn't give this a go in the 4-2-3-1 formation yet persists with a 3-5-2 experiment which works at times but the first formation seems tailor made for us Ledley Wanyama or brown/kayak sitting sammy on the left Forrest on the right and commons in the middle behind the striker would be lethal,this is where mcgeough and rogic should ve coming in instead of commons trying to take there chance...
Needs to happen next season

 

How did he get on tonigh ?

Its getting to stage wer I think he's never going to make it

 

Pish, he's wasted on the right.

You may be right

 

Not the best tonight.
