So I just watched highlights of the cup final again and what I noticed is the part Lustig played in our winner. he burst a gut to get to the ball before the hearts player and headed it powerfully into space for French Eddy to run onto. Lustig is another one who gets stick from our fans but he has played a big part in our success.
Also Eduard as well, some fans moan about him, but he has stepped up big time this season also. We have him on a another 4 year contract and he will only improve and be our next big money transfer in a year's time. With French Eddy also I think next season he will revert to his more favoured wide position if Griffiths and Bayo (hopefully) are good enough and fit enough to play through the middle.

Well said Tim.

For me French Eddy is a striker, just need the right partner up top.

I think lustig deserves another year even if another eb comes in andtakes his place next season, 60 odd games to to negotiate I'm sure he'll be valuable player.

Lustig doesn't deserve another year because he has been done for 2 years now, this is why Lennon should never have got the job because he most likely will get a new deal🙈.

Seriously putting Lustig's clearance to be a defence splitting pass now next Brown could mature a Pirlo like midfielder, the team is falling apart and it's wind up merchant like these to which are holding us back, Brown and Lustig have been good servants but Lustig is finished, Brown could still play in midfield but not as the deep lying playmaker.

{Ed007's Note - McGregor should be the main playmaker with Christie doing the box to box job imo but that does pose the question of where Brown plays. Maybe a 3 man midfield with Brown just sitting in front of the defence like a sweeper role - but does he have the legs for that - with McGregor and Christie in front of him but that then limits the attacking options and I'm not a fan of the 4-3-3.}

Agreed Ed
Been saying this for a while browns slows the play he's a crab as well. Put him right back. Calmac take his role this was done under Judas it worked perfect.

{Ed007's Note - When Brown was injured we played some of the best football we had in the previous 18 months, he can still do us a good job out there but it's what that job is. He was never the type of player that sat and pulled the strings so I don't understand why he's got that role, it all came about when his legs went to the extent that he couldn't do the box to box job. With both Brown and Rogic in their current roles our central midfield area is very weak in the creativity department wand there's a distinct lack of any kind of urgency unless it's through McGregor.}

Yes and no, Christie has exceeding my expectations this year but I don't see him getting much better and I'm sorry Ed to me he is a Celtic squad player and the the more people tell McGregor he is a good player the more he goes backwards, but I do agree a neat and tidy player who can take or give a pass like McGregor is going to make the the team tick over nicely but also think we should be aiming for higher or at least have a midfield of that can all do the basics and some, where as Brown just trys to wind players up when should be concentrating on doing his job, not been to harsh on him here good servant, ball winner, engine but passing was never his thing.

{Ed007's Note - I do think Christie is more than capable of doing a job domestically but higher than that mmmm maybe in years to come. Brown does sometimes seem to be turning into a caricature of himself at times and he really should know better.}

Now your talking Ed totally agree with you. let's let the dust settle for the next few weeks. We did look gd, then brown came back and it slowed down again. Was thinking that left back max low maybe would be a gd shout. I know Forrest turned him over but there are not many forests out there.

{Ed007's Note - The thing with the LB situation is that anyone coming in is only going to be KT's understudy and these days players are more and more concerned about getting game time than their bank balance.}

We should have produced the understudy for K T either from within our own ranks or else we should have bought a youngster a couple of seasons ago. As soon as K T hit the first team it was evident he was good and we needed to get back-up.
