He’s a defender isn’t he? Hasn’t a clue how to play up front

Was,  he’s been moved up field.  It was crying out for a ball over the top, we struggled to supply him but a couple got through.  He was fresh legged and didn’t seem to want to close down anybody.

I was genuinely excited to see him come on and could see the plan for him.  I do like him, unless he was just told to sit on the shoulder of a defender? Then he did his job to an extent.

I hope to see him again.

Allsop 7  important early save, v effective sweeper thereafter 

Byrne 6.5 tough day defensively but covered well 

Forsyth 8 excellent in both positions 

Stearman 5 

Davies 7 solid at the back again

Shinnie 7.5 another tireless performance 

Bird 6.5 had few opportunities to make the killer passes, but good discipline defensively 

Morrison 4 not a game for a player who needs to be on the ball. Substitution spared him getting frustrated 

Knight 8 like Shinnie, tireless, and worked hard to create opportunities 

Lawrence 6 hot and cold again. Should have scored. 

Stretton 6 little service to feed off but never stopped chasing 

Buchanan 6 solid defending 

Williams 6.5 continues to impress at LWB

Ebosele  4 didn't get into the game. A strange tactical move by Rooney that didn't come off.

That's correct. Wayne has said he's wasted as a full-back. His key qualities are his pace, his strength, his low centre of gravity. I think though that he likes the ball at his feet, and he's very good at working in closed space, so he does need some time to develop if he's going to be played in a more attacking role. There's a danger that he'll become "too versatile" and so won't be given the opportunity to become specialized in a clear role. I think he's best deployed wide-right where he can drive with the ball at his feet but the one time he was deployed there he went off injured. I do like him as a player though and like the fact that he grew up in Eire.
