We’ve had a lot of criticism of Ronny deila over the past few weeks, and everyone has offered their tuppence worth on what he’s doing wrong. One of ronny’s biggest critics has been regular contributor Monti, and he’s decided we should take the criticism to a more constructive level. ( Some hope-Ed ).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve decided to take time out from Ronny and Johnny bashing for the moment, and indulge in a bit of pretendy football manager.<\/p>\n

Something I’ve accused Ronny of beong, I suppose.<\/p>\n

Some have mentioned that he should maybe stand his ground a little more, and demand his own backroom staff, and perhaps also stand up to the board and not let them sell his key players from under him as he is trying to put a side together that we can , if not be confident, then at least optimistic of regular group stage Champions league football.<\/p>\n

So, who is the one he should have put his neck out for, or , who should he try to get back, given that the player in question will know all about the club, and would be able to slip back in where he left off, and of course, we are willing a little suspension of disbelief in that the player wants to come back, at an affordable wage to the club ?<\/p>\n

And why ?<\/p>\n

The only condition is that he is still involved in professional football at some level.<\/p>\n

\n

Who would that player be, how would he immediately improve things and why would you bring him back?<\/p>\n

\n

I will kick it off because it’s my ba’ so to speak, maybe an obvious one here but i’d bring back Virgil Van Dijk.<\/p>\n

Why would I bring him back?<\/p>\n

The central defence badly needs organising and an imposing figure at the back. And he’s been missed. The player was respected by his fellow team mates, and even Craig Gordon is a little lost without him.<\/p>\n

\u00a0And now \u00a0we are weak in this area, the European campaign has shown we are susceptible to giving opponents a break or two even if they don’t put much pressure on us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0All quality sides are built from the back, and it looked as though we had the defence more or less sorted towards the end of last year, and the unrest around his future may have led to a little confusion in the qualifiers this year.<\/p>\n

Get him back, and get him organising!<\/p>\n

So there you go, Virgil Van Dijk is back in the Hoops!<\/p>\n

Now it’s your turn.<\/p>\n

Who would you bring back?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
