No he did not score from running off the left. From the free kick he cruised up the inside left channel and then to the right side of the penalty spot got he ball and scored from there. |

Hopefully this season was one of those "struggling to adjust at a bigger club" seasons and he looks the part next year. I'm not hopeful, though. |

Where do you think he is meant to operate in a left sided role if not linking from "the inside left channel" and then scoring? Should he only score goals from the left? As an inside out player on the left, Sunday's goal (technical quality of it aside) is EXACTLY the type of goal a player like Armstrong (a right footer) should be scoring when starting on the left side. As is his shot against the post that led to Rogic's goal. This would tend to show a player can play that position, but hey ho, it will all be down to the fact that Motherwell were awful, or something. |

Yeah, people need to stop perpetuating this myth that he can't or doesn't play from the left. He was excellent playing from there on a few occasions for us and Utd, yesterday he was probably the best player on the park playing from there. His issues have more been down to mentality and a slow-paced and dysfunctional midfield. |

Twist it anyway you want mate your spin was that he came off the left (wing) to score. He did not. He actually came from defending in his own 18 yard box at a corner and was moving upfield when we got a free kick at around the halfway mark which led to the goal. I am a fan of Armstrong and was merely pointing out how often he was playing infield and quite a few times through the center circle and not as an out and out winger. I think you have started an argument with yourself with " and should he only scores goals from the left" |

Playing on the left of a 3 behind the striker isn't playing as an out and out winger. |

Look mate there have been references since the start of this thread of him playing wide left or left winger. I was only pointing out that he lined up out on the left on Sunday but the role he played was coming inside frequently and to good effect as well. e.g. his goal. I think you are agreeing with me At the end of the day the formation a team lines up in might not be the system the team plays. It also depends on the instructions some players get from the manager on their role for that game. For example under Stein (yep I go back that far and count my self lucky to see them play ) the team lined up 2 3 5. but that is not what they played. It was mostly 4 2 4

No I've not. He did his job playing on the left, scoring, assisting and generally playing well. That seems to be inconvenient for some.

Armstrong looking like he's dropped way off the radar. Another one, who needs to go to find gametime - as Brendan likes to put it? Started at Hearts, replaced by Sinclair who scored. Unused sub for Motherwell, Sinclair starts & scores. Plays the whole game against Inter, along with Henderson, Christie & other Fringe players. Dropped for HBS, both Henderson & Christie are on the bench. Dropped for St Johnston, both Henderson & Christie come off the bench. Christie scores, Henderson gives away a penalty. Looks like he's dropped waaay down in the pecking order. Christie looks better & Henderson has more energy & dig. |

Punt for me.... I remember, when we bought him, a mate who is an Arab fan, told me he made it known we were a stepping stone to the premiership for him

Haven't heard anything about an injury. Maybe? I reckon he's surplus to requirements & Christie & Henderson have moved ahead of him as backup. Obviously Sinclair has taken his place as first choice. |

I think that would have been a fair outlook at the time, we want to be signing ambitious players whether the goal is Caps, European football every year or even ultimately a move to a top League. Pity the performances haven't been there, hard to see it coming good and now seems the right time to part ways. Stuart needed to start well you think, just as Brown and Forrest have managed to. |

I think the Arab fan is talking shampooe. He had the opportunity to sign for Burnley but opted for us instead IIRC. |

If Brendan can get the mouse hearted Forrest to actually try, he might get the player out of Stuart too |

Forrest has always been a better player than Armstrong. The players in the team now play at a level beyond the Dundee United boys. Their days are numbered. |

Not sure that he'll go from first choice to being binned within the space of a fortnight. He has however gone from being first 11 to not making the 18 man squad and if we do sign more players it's not likely to aid his cause |
