The Real Zippy Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Mehmet didn't get any decent service from the midfield yet again yesterday. In the 2nd half the midfield were non-existant, we badly need an attacking midfielder then Billy won't have to come so deep to get the ball. Billy will get goals soon, when he gets one his confidence will soar. CBJ, we have been saying that about Mehmet since day one, but three goals in god knows how many appearances is a pretty pish return to say the least. He has had more than enough opportunities to prove his worth, but I am afraid to say he can't cut the mustard at Division 1 level, far less the SPL. I'll remember him for scoring the goal which won us the title, but there is no room for sentiment. Time for a change come January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy will eventually come good, whether he gets that chance with us or somewhere else is open to question. I think we should persist he has the makings of a good player.

Wrong...he hasn't had chance after chance. He's had scraps. Whenever Mehmet is on the park, our midfield seem to play even deeper than usual. The guy gets hee haw in the way of service. I take it you'd be looking for him to win the ball, hold it up, beat the two (often three) opponents who are on top of him, swivel, and hit a sweet 30 yard strike into the postage stamp (and then bid us a fond farewell as he signs for Real Madrid). Get real FFS. Edited December 17, 2006 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because Mehmet is a different style of player to Kean. Kean's movement had teh Hearts players scared shitless, but Billy's never going to be that type of player. What he does well is hold the ball up, but what good is that when you have a midfield who are playing about 10 yards deeper than they should be, and (on yesterday's evidence) filled because of injuries by guys who usually play a more defensive role, like Lappin. Sutts would've struggled to do much more than Billy yesterday in that sense, although he'd most likely have been getting into better positions to support Coco when he went on a run - Mehmet could do with being more direct off the ball.

Sunny Saint Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Mehmet could only work well with two players: Kean and Corcoran. The rest, forget it. Even so, I agree in the fact that he should be last in the stirking pecking order to be quite honest. I still can't believe those going on about him not having a chance. He is NOT a goalscorer or enough of a threat up front to play him as a STRIKER. If we play him, we must play another two alongside him (preferable option: don't play him at all!). Even so, I really don't think he's the answer to our "troubles". He works hard but to no avail. If we continue to play Mehmet without making a lot of changes to the system, we might as well play for a draw in every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colostomy~bag~jones Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm not having a go at Corcoran but did he score on Saturday? No. So how is he more effective than Mehmet? Mckenna is not the answer right now, he should get his chance when we're under less pressure and not looking to him to be our saviour.

Mckenna is not the answer right now, he should get his chance when we're under less pressure and not looking to him to be our saviour. Jeez - Corcoran was our most threatening player in an attacking sense - direct and pacey. If we were going to get anything it was coming from him For me Mehmet had an opportunity to prove the critics wrong - could he , no , he was on the back foot too often and out of position. That effort at the end of the game , wow , an opportunity to at least threaten the goals , make the keeper save something, - get an effort on target , where did it go , floated it harmlessly away into the night - He couldn't even get the correct contact on the ball , at the effort he was leaning back star gazing ......bah ! The guy demonstrated his woodenness !!!! Oh matron ............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Co Co had a great game on Saturday but when he is at his best when he is out wide this gives us a problem when he is part of a 2 man attack, most of the time there is only 1 person in the box for him to pick out. If he was playing on the left of a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 it would be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When billy hold s the ball up he should have a mdfielder looking for the ball allowing him to make a run into the box. We play too defensive and Billy has become a scapegoat.

But maybe the midfield are following instructions from management - containment first and foremost - if we had more of a points cushion our game would be more adventrurous esp with Corcoran and other midfielders making more forward runs. However Billy is not a scapegoat because he is good ..........eh ? I will back him as I do all the players. I do not agree with barracking him or any other player but I will admit to utter dismay with his final effort of the game. I could see him becoming instant hero as he fired that shot into the corner ...bah how I cried in anguish ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus seems to like Billy and the job he does for the team and up till now Gus has done a pretty good job of things. IMO if Billy can get one goal his confidence will soar and he'll score regularly because unfortunately that's what strikers are judged on no matter how good a job they do for the team.
