Exactly. He's like Armstrong with a pair of baws. |

I agree he's not a winger, hence 'winger' not winger in my original post. I do think he's slow though. I've never seen him beat a full-back for pace and I don't think *all* the full-backs in Scotland are quick. |

He's still no very good yet will probably have a big part to play in us winning something this year. That's how bad we've gotten. It's amazing how scoring a goal can obscure a lot of negatives as even though it was a lovely goal on Saturday I thought he was anonymous in the first half. Second half he contributed the goal and put a decent shift in. Nothing great yet fans wonder why we are so poor and shampoo to watch right now yet some will sing the praises of McGregor. That he is currently one of our better options, purely because he might contribute a goal, should tell you why we are so poor. |

Set griffiths up twice with a lovely cross then a nice first time pass. Time this boy started getting the credit he deserves. Too many people looking for the negatives. |

Surely McGregor would be a better bet than the ailing Brown at the moment? Was he dropped because of injury? |

Agree with this. Every time McGregor has a good performance in central midfield, Ronny either drops him or shunts him out wide for the next game. Broony is really toiling at the minute and McGregor has performed better in that position this season than the other options (Armstrong, Johansen, Allan). |

I'd rather McGregor than Brown at the minute, but ideally for me it'd be Johansen and Bitton. |

Not a long term solution, but definitely worth a go. Won't happen though. |

Best place for him would be as a "Scottish Beckham" in a 442 on the wing, hitting an early cross or though ball as he doens't have the pace to outrun a full back, if the early pass/cross option doesn't happen, then move in central outside the area ready to pick up and take a long shot |

It really wouldn't, the best place for him is his actually position in the middle. His performances there have been his best for us. That's where he should play. |

Best as a central midfielder as he's always available for a pass and doesn't give it away too often. Not the best defensively right enough, but should be in the team on merit just now. |

Agree with this. He's not a winger or a wide midfielder. |

Doesn't have the defensive attributes or the stamina to play there IMO. |

I think he's a decent enough wee player, and if we're regularly bringing players of his standard through the ranks then we're doing something right. He seems a wee bit greedy at times in terms of trying a shot from outside the box rather than playing someone else in, but it's not as if our movement up front guarantees that he always has options. He seems pretty direct and wants to make things happen which is a breath of fresh air in our team currently. For him to be regular in the first team in more competitive games in Europe he'll need to add more to his game but he's only 22 so hopefully that'll come. If that development is speeded up with game time then I'd keep him in the side as much as possible just now in the league. |

I think 4-3-3 suits him quite well. The main reason why heīs hasnīt been playing the last couple of matches, is the formation. |

So he don't have stamina, but you'd stick him on the wing. Every good. |

did you read the point where I said that he shouldn't be running up and down the line , early cross or through ball and then move inside to look outside the box - Tierney would do the running for him |
