BloodRunsBlue 1,303 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Not that impressive tonight tbh. Especially Morelos who looks no different to the turgid shite he produced for the second half of last season. He's useless at heading the ball, His first touch is unbelievably poor and his reaction speed is pathetic. Needs to get his head clear and his finger out his arse pronto. Hopefully this makes certain that the board sanction the new striker we all know we need. Despite all that, I think we'll win comfortably on Tuesday as Shkupi will have to come out and play.

Muz333 359 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Need an early goal in the second leg or I’ll never be able to relax. We look toothless in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyorr 15 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 we played better than last year obviously. However our goals came from an iffy penalty and a goalie mistake. WE need to improve personnel in the forward areas IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy 730 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Disappointing is how I'd describe that performance, with the amount of possession we had we should have scored far more. I've never wanted to criticise Morelos but tonight showed he's not the striker we need. Hopefully we get clearance to play the two African guys before Tuesday. Ejaria and Middleton were the biggest plus points. Our two centre halfs and Flanagan look pretty safe so happy that we're getting the defence sorted out.

Siam69 26,761 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Middleton and Ejaria was excellent when they came on. Drive, creativity, desire. Would like them starting on Tuesday, but doubt it will happen ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyorr 15 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think once his fitness levels are better Ejaria will start most games for us. As will Rossiter None of the starting midfield tonight will be regular starters I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scum will be creaming themselves if we keep those three . Our problems last season mainly lay in the amount of goals we conceded. Obviously you defend as a team so the CBs are not solely to blame but to pick two attackers (who as I said done their job last season by putting the ball in the back of the net) as 2 of 3 of the worst players in our team clearly doesn't make sense. We scored more than any other team in the league last season. Why not criticise our weakest area? Is that not logical? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAvenger 10,004 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Just back from the game. Positives...we won !! Thought Goldson looks good and McGregor is our best goalkeeper and more confident. We missed a few chances in the first half and we were fuckin awful in the second half. We badly need creativity pace and a decent striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're cheerleading 3 imposters. Occasional good turns doesn't hide how bad they really are. Last season was horrendous regardless of their personal results and they aren't looking remarkably improved which is what we really want to see. You can't deny this surely?

Sparkle 53,253 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Just back home. Lovely night for football eh? Brilliant display and atmosphere at the start. I thought there was an improvement on last year except for the shit leftover from last year. Morales, Windass and Tav can go anytime, just not good enough. My motm was McCrorie.

backup 4,724 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 very poor despite the win, a total lack of invention or indeed any sign of a play maker, most disappointed and wondering about when we meet real opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit the bar by attacking down our right while Tav was playing right wing or something. He causes us defensive right sided problems time and time again. Maybe the stats show the goals we lose come from another area but I'll bet a good few of them started because we were being exposed on the right hand side. Morelos missed at least 2 sitters in the 1st half. A main striker who can't head a ball. I like his pure effort but he's becoming indefensible. Windass is just pish but did get into a position where he almost scored. I'd rather have someone more committed and creative like Middleton. All 3 have got to improve. The full team need to improve and yes our attackers need to be more clinical. Early doors though. Middleton looked good but I've only seen him off the bench twice now - against tired legs. Hopefully he pushes on this season but I've seen this with numerous young players, Aird and Walsh coming to mind. Time will tell as it's early doors for him as well.
