Thompson will play 20-25 games this season if fit, and no doubt will score his fair share.
However when we play 451 and are surrendering possession of the ball, he should not start/play. Away at Ibrox, Easter Road for example we should go with the youngsters up front.
Perhaps this was forced on Murray due to the timing of this game and transfers still to occur.
When we are at home against lesser teams, and can dominate the ball Thompson will score plenty.
