Livi's attacking style can reap rewards, says McGowan

BBC News4 days ago
Ryan McGowan insists Livingston can replicate their attacking Championship form in the top flight.David Martindale's men start life back in the Premiership against Kilmarnock on Saturday and defender McGowan thinks opposition fans might be surprised by Livi's style this season."The gaffer said it publicly before, sometimes when you're in the top flight it's just more survival and worrying about what other teams are going to do to you instead of possibly what you can do to hurt them and get points," said McGowan."That's what we did as a club last season. It was kind of a reset and we controlled most of the ball. We played pretty good football for probably 90% of the season last year and that's something we want to take into this season."If you've watched our cup games so far, it will probably be a little bit of a different Livingston to what was in the Premiership in years gone by."It's up to us as players to really put to work what we're doing during the week into games and hopefully that gets us points and gets us up the league."We play a different kind of style from the team that got relegated a couple of seasons ago, but it's one that we believe we will be successful with and fingers crossed that happens."

'Jury is still out in terms of new boys'

We asked for your thoughts on what Leeds' midfield should look like next what you said:Richard: Tanaka was one our best players last season. He should definitely have a place. Longstaff is also a must. The other two should be subs initially, but changing after 60 mins plus, depending on the game. But all the players are good to mix and match in midfield positions! I think Tanaka, Bogle and Willy Gnonto played a fantastic three against Manchester Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu. Simple I was at the game and I thought Aaronson played really well against Villarreal. I know he has his doubters but he gives it his all every game and I think over last season he's really improved. For me, he is a known factor and worth a starting With the focus on midfield and defence in the recruitment so far, determining the midfield starters is challenging. The friendlies have not really cleared that up. Ampadu has looked really solid. Tanaka and Aaronson have both taken their opportunities and looked good. The jury is still out for me in terms of the new boys, and how they can be blended into a starting formation. The Everton game will be revealing.
