Listen callum ain't what he was but jeez take him out that midfield and we've none, how we never strengthened that area is a joke stevie wonder could see we needed someone in there instead of having 18 wingers.

hatate and bernardo, how both of them were not shown the door in january is baffling. Their agents should have been told 1st of jan to find them new clubs.
To be fair there are heaps more falls in that bracket as well.
You would think that with the world cup approaching, the likes of maeda, hatate etc would be in the form of there lives. Too many of them have downed tools same as the covid season.

Every team we play these days, pass and run rings around our midfield and we are lacking in every aspect - especially tackling.

Ox will be playing during the week according to Oneil. Bernardo and McCowan are woefeul. God knows what's happend to Bernardo. Once looked a player now he's an empty jersey. Hatate is the same he's went right downhill,

They should seriously be back for bakayoko before he gets snapped up.

Tim could not agree more with your point, I mentioned last night in the live Chat that Hatate is a empty jersey and really weakened our team. He won't put a tackle in very rarely does he jump for a header, hopefully with Ox in now we might have someone who is willing to not only be creative but work hard and close down players.

I knew that Dundee game would be a struggle, Midfield gets overrun far too often these days and starting Hatate and Bernardo in the same team, neither of them barely break into a sprint all game. Both just jog around nonchalantly without a care in the world, it's no surprise they're not starters and an even bigger surprise they wasn't sold either.
I'm usually critical of McCowan but I felt he had one of his better games this season when he came on as he was in his natural position.

McCowan always looks decent when he comes on but he very rarely looks good when he starts. Bernardo is the same.
We need to add at least 2 in midfield in the summer. If Ox looks good in next few months then maybe offer him an extra year.

Said that recently Mally - and we've got the money to make it happen. Depends if we are serious about winning the league or just doing enough, with risks, with what we've got.
