Here is a rant I fully endorse, lifted off kickback
Goalkeeper
If Tepi sells any more goals this season he'll soon be able to retire, time to give Craig Gordon a chance methinks, rumour has it the Craig Gordon isn't the biggest fan of Tepi's talents anyway.
Defence
What the hell has gone wrong with Webster? Surely getting dropped for the Scotland game hasn't destroyed his confidence that badly. On current form Kevin McKenna deserves a chance again at the back. Kisnorbo is NOT a full back, either right or left and besides he is mainly right footed. I'm a great believer that the team should be balanced. Our success in 1998 can largely be atributed I believe to the fact we had 5 left footed players in the outfield 10. Austin McCann bless him, isn't a gifted player by any means but at least the guy is left sided and knows how to play the left back position, why put square pegs in round holes as we are currently doing with Maybury/Kisnorbo?
Midfield
I have never been a fan of Stamp playing out wide, IMHO he is completely wasted out there. There is a total lack of dynamism in the central area, only one of MacFarlane or Severin should be picked for centre midfield to partner either Simmons or Stamp. The reason we are humping so many long balls up to De Vries is that there is no central midfielders breaking forward to support the strikers. With Stamp wide right there is also a total lack of width down that side. Haste ye back Steven Boyack or give Hartley a chance. Hearts best football last year was with Boyack and Valois tearing down both wings.
Attack
I like the De Vries and Weir combination but they are rendered innaffective by pumping long balls up to De Vries all the time when both players prefer it on the ground, lets get Stampy central so he can break from the middle of the park and link with the two forwards and create more chances.
