If we play O'Neill he needs a different partner than Irvine. Collectively they don't offer much in terms of progressing the ball.

yer I agree re his body use and ability - least he's mobile as well. JS96 just mentioned re the midfield being immobile - lets not...

Aiden O'Neill is regularly bagged on this forum but he is playing the role Popa wants him to do which is as a defensive screener for our...

We're going to suffer immensely with this midfield. They're just too immobile and happy to pass the ball to the side or back. Popovic is...

Under Popa, there’s a 1000% chance, baring injury, that our starting midfield will be Irvine and O’Neill. Popa doesn’t care one bit...

Happy to be wrong as always. I suspect the 'training' part would be the critical aspect of this. In that neither Balard or Nisbet would...
