We've all agreed on here that glen kamara was absolutely superb against celtic on saturday and probably is the best 50k we've ever spent ðŸ‘He's a very elegant, skillful midfielder, of that there's no doubt. But i've noticed that the partnership of glen kamara and ryan jack, doesn't look as good a sitting midfield partnership as kamara/ davis or jack/ davis 🤔I don't know if any of you have noticed the same and agree with this? Its always going to be 2 of the 3 of davis, jack and kamara who will be pairing together in this defensive midfield role, which of course is instructed by gerrard to cover our 2 high attacking fullbacks, on their continual maurading runs forward, which gives our team its width . what's all my other fellow bears thoughts on this and your preferred defensive midfield pairing 🤔.

Davis is a great player but we can't expect him to play in every game.
Kamara right now is the form player of the 3. Jack's solid dependable.
Plus there's zunga.
A great problem to have.

Davis / Kamara although it should be decided on form. We’ve got Zungu to come into the mix as well.
I think the interesting one is Aribo and where he fits in, although he’s always played further forward I think he is the long term replacement for Davis. We might see him playing deeper than we’re used to.

Davis and Kanara for me mate, Davis quality has been at a higher level than the others and just feel Kamara offers more overall. Jack does a lot decent but nothing outstanding for me.

Oh what a lovely dilemma! Zungu will have to do well to get into the team. I think we're firing on all cylinders. Only issue on Sat was Barker, he was a bit poor.

The first 6 months of last season was as good as Jack played in a Rangers shirt. He was more progressive, hitting shots from distance and scoring some goals but he hasn't recovered that level of form since the turn of the year when the whole team lost form. I like Jack a lot and he still offers something to the team but I agree that Davis and Kamara offer more at this moment in time. It should be judged on form mainly but Jack is more than capable of playing when Davis needs a break. With Aribo I think its going to alternate between him and Arfield for the one from the 3 centre mids who goes and joins the attack. Arfield is a master at the late run beyond the strikers and Aribo tends to carry the ball forward and was showing some great form before his injury. 5 great players with Zungu to be added to the group to challenge for a place too. Great problem to have and different types of player to suit different scenarios. i'm a happy bear.

Noticed it last year coop. ðŸ‘.

The stuck you think we are firing on all cylinders? I don’t think we are anywhere near that yet which is good I honestly think we could have went up a few more gears on Saturday don’t think we got out of 2nd gear.

Correct sgl ðŸ‘.

Coldo been saying it for months, Aribo, although I love his skills is a difficult one to get into the team just now, he does slow our game lot, but on the other hand he is capable of going through an entire defence one by one
Dilemma.

To be fair I think Jack has been asked to sit deeper this season to allow others to push forward!

Agree with most in this thread re our midfield. It’s a long season and another Europe campaign to contend with which is great.
We now have options all over the midfield, we can have sitting players, attacking players, wide midfielders, different permutations for different type of games. Its good to have the quality as we will need them all, Jack, Zungu, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Arfield, Hagi, we have a blend of younger players and older in the middle, SG can now have the luxury of resting players and knowing those coming in are more than capable. Think our midfield players are doing a great job.

It’s good to see Glen Kamara getting the praise he deserves. The guy is a class act and to think what we paid for him.

KJA9, I guess your right, always room for improvement.

Been saying it since last season tom old chapðŸ‘.
