Re: Mixu's missing something in the middle

Agree, Nish needs someone to partner him and Fletcher is ideal.
Not surprised about the amount of misplaced passes given the state of the pitch.
Also Canning is not a right back. I would have played Canning and Hogg in the middle with McCann or Gatussie at right back. Jones and Hogg don't seem to work that well together but Hogg and Canniing have looked good together.
As wee162 rightly points out, there is little to be gained by pumping the ball up to a lone striker who then has to control the ball, hold it in and wait for support from a midfield who quite frankly didnt sound like they were charging forward. Having said that, I dont really rate Nish anyway and whilst he has done all right with Fletch alongside him he is useless on his own.

I would agree that we should have perhaps played Gatheussi or McCann at RB but I think Mixu believes that Canning can play that position, he cant - he has proved that already against Der Hun but Mixu stuck him out there again which basically hung him out to dry. Is it just my perception or does he keep trying to move infield. If he does its no surprise and because he is being played out of position I wont dream of slating him for his lapse in concentration leading to the goal.

I take it you advocate dropping Jones then TG
