  1. A decent striker does not need to take 5 or 6 touches, does not change feet 2 or 3 times until the ball is taken off him or he falls over. Strangely, watched Memphis Depay score against Inter; ball comes to him, one touch and bang, goal. The first thing that came to mind was what Dessers would do given that chance and one touch and shoot never came into the equation.
  2. Deflated after this result and performance. There is not much between the teams but the difference was mainly pace, control fitness and goal threat. So many loose passes and poor decisions added to complete lack of a goal threat and players running on empty. Once again Dessers showed nothing apart from confirming he has no clue about the offside rule. His weird decision to cut onto his left foot but shoot with his right almost made me choke. Lawrence showed this level is out of his experience and comfort zone with so many losses of possession and being caught on the ball. Ridvan and Silva were disappointing. We had more possession but never looked like scoring while Benicia looked dangerous on the break because we gave them so much space to do so. Without a goal threat in the front line and a midfield which has a poor oval retur rate we are constantly punching above our weight and results like tonight and Motherwell are going to happen. We cannot keep having to rely on a full back to scrape through games.
  3. He has screwed up so many one on one chances, by cutting back on his left here he just made the angle almost impossible to score and made a near post save easy for the keeper. Other times he changes feet too often or takes too many touches and lets defenders take the ball away. He does not look like a guy lacking in confidence so I guess he is just not a natural striker.
  4. The handball rule seems to be viewed differently in every league. Europe usually seems to give penalty for any hand ball in the box. Basically pundits, referees and players now have no idea how this rule is going to be applied and it boils down to whichever moron is operating VAR.
  5. The game where we had no striker but used the tactic of getting the ball wide to cross to 3 unchallenged central defenders? He has always had howlers in him but at Hearts he had 2 other centre defenders to cover but still was good for giving away chances every game.
  6. From the start it looked that we would struggle and it showed the number of injuries will affect us in the next few weeks. I do not have confidence in our front line survivors to find the net it matters and we really have not seen anywhere near the number of goals both from midfield and central defenders from corners that should be expected from our team. The balance and cohesion today looked off and Motherwell seemed to be able to pressure without much challenge. Upfront Dessers worked hard but just annoyed and frustrated me with his decision making. In defence I still worry about Souttar; his concentration, awareness and ability to be on the same wavelength of his central defensive partners.
  7. I think we looked far more controlling and compact as a team with everyone doing their job. At times I feel Cantwell tries to do too much and runs all over the place when he would be better calming down and using his football talent for the team.
  8. Yes, a really dominant controlled team performance from the start.
  9. Is it wrong to feel a bit disappointed at only winning 5 nil? Thought we were much better than the scoreline.
  10. Think this will be a hard watch, just cannot see goals from that front three.
  11. It was a cert once our board made the plea to keep him away from our games.
  12. Goldson is ever present so by definition that is the case.However, does this not happen more when he is alongside Souttar? Anyway that is always going to happen when we more or less play with a 2 man defence since both full backs roam forward at he same time leaving no full back to cover across.
