Virtual Ticket v Celtic

[stokearab]

So f*cking frustrating. Why is it so obvious to us but not the manager?

It's a mystery to most fans but I think Micky selects Harkes because he feels the player will offer defensive cover across the 18 yard line and might offer a through ball when we're attacking. But mainly a defensive mindset.

The problem is that Harkes isn't good enough at either, so is completely wasted in the majority of games. His first touch is really poor a lot of the time as well. But Micky just thinks defend defend defend. Then Harkes drops in the odd decent game and the circle continues. I like Ian Harkes, seems like a great lad but right now it's not working.

Clark in midfield is the one that really is mindboggling though. Everyone can see it except the manager.

Might want to look at the left back position too, being targeted every match now as the weakest link. Not as pacey as first thought. "Good going forward? hmmmm ? " but can't cross the road.
