wasn't Macken magnificent!!</p> can't see how he can be dropped after that performance</p> and he linked so well with Hume</p> How Davey must be ruing the Morgan incident-he bought Hume for precisely that link up IMHO </p>
I agree with all of that (apart from the bit about Davey) but you could just as easily say how can you not play Gray as he is our top scorer in the league. Must be a good problem to have.
Agreed, when he's been given the chance he's not put a foot wrong He hasn't had much time n the pitch this season, but he's scored 2 goals. He holds the ball up well and i think he's been missing playing with Hume. It's unbelievable that for years we've been calling for a decent striker, now we've got to chose from Hume, Macken, Gray and Bogdanovic.
Macken could play deeper as a link man with the front two. Dunno how that would work with the current midfielders/system etc.
I think we need a stronger midfield for that to work-Phart tried it and look what happened-Chelsea and Liverpool can do it but we'd struggle week in week out IMHO
