Swagger 7,946 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 All these teams are playing like it’s a cup final against us. Our fans are filling their stadiums and they are rising to the occasion. We on the other hand only come alive a couple of times in a game. Our players think they are way better than they are. I can’t see things changing any time soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Get Kamara in immediately. No flair in that midfield again. Davis is going to be a sideways passer for the rest of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think changing the team after saying that McRorie had the shirt before the cup game but was banned and could not play was not good for players to see that. Just sick as a parrot tonight after really looking forward to getting back playing league games again. I have to be honest mate I think we will struggle away to Livingston and Aberdeen. As for Davis and Defoe early days but Im not convinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,785 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Dropping McCrorie tonight was fucking mental. Gerrard describes him as a warrior and an animal after the OF game so why drop him in a game where you have to win the right to play by battling. Bad management and team selection and that lies at the door of Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m just sick and tired of our players getting bossed by complete shite.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We are quite an honest team. When we play shite (as a team) we lose, when we play well (as a team) we win. There is an honest rawness to this squad. It will take time to smooth out those rough edges, and to fine tune it. Kilmarnock away after the break was always going to be a tough one. They are a really good side. Roll on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Win a big game and then fuck up in the next game. Same story for some time. Thought it would be different after such a big performance against the taigs. We started well and then that liability Worrall changes the game. Katic was dropped for far less. Get Worrall out and get Katic back in with Goldson once fit. After that goal we looked lost. Formation change didn't work. We played right into killie hands trying to play through a packed midfield. The blame for this falls on the gaffer tonight. Not for the first time he's messed around when it wasn't required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the creativity, I honestly think he's thought moving Kent into the number 10 spot was the fix but that's not looking promising after tonights result Jones ran pretty much straight for goal & scored. I wonder if he’ll start doing anything but, once he arrives at Ibrox? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gra 0 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Away from home against Kilmarnock etc. we should sit in and play on the counter for the first 20 - 30 minutes. Give them the ball win it and attack in numbers. We are too predictable attacking from the first minute. As tonight proves we are not good enough to go to Killie and blow them away with our attacking prowess. We leave too much space in their attacking areas and the defenders are put under pressure because our full backs are out of position. Killie were dangerous tonight from clearances from their defence, then they pick up the second ball and our full backs are attacking and again caught out of position. We need to be a bit more conservative away from home and defend right and use the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Fucking strange night all round, to the point you couldn't make this shite up. Worrall again! Should never be ahead of Katic. That's a manager problem. Blue eyed boys do tend to let you down. This one seriously gives me the fucking boke. Then we we have Jones scoring and imo he celebrated rather too heartily both at his goal and at the end. It rubbed me the wrong. Maybe I'm over sensitive. On a high note, the boy Kent is a fucking hero. He's the real deal. Just get him fucking signed. Stevie, just get it fucking sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Davis and Defoe early days but Im not convinced. I always regarded Davis as a tidy player with us, but his first instinct is to protect the ball, which many times meant he turned away from goal & slowed the flow of our attacks. Which, up here, gives the opposition the extra second to get another body or two behind the ball. Won’t look out of place, but not sure if he’ll provide that dynamism we’re lacking at present.

bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mccrorie was immense against celtic and shouldn't have been dropped. But lets not get carried away, he wouldn't have made the difference. It was the formation that was wrong tonight because of two new signings and two gifted goals from our Ch's who had a mare.

We aren't a very good side at keeping possession otherwise we'd have went 1-0 nil up and just passed the game away. Here's an idea why not go 1-0 up then change tactics to defensive/counter attacking style see how much a master tactician Clark is then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotstopper 765 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Usual response in here tonight. Yes, we were pish but let's not forget that we were playing on a shite astro pitch which for some reason we cannot play on. We cannot seem to control the ball as it skids off the surface which leads us to mis-control and misplaced passing. In other words our second touch is a tackle. The ball runs away from us when we try to attack and trying to lift a ball whilst running and crossing is an art which we do not seem to posses. Try it yourselves and see the result. Our next game is at Livingston - more of the same likely. Here's hoping we can get a result, 3points and nothing less. Let's keep the faith. 55 is coming, maybe not this year but it's coming very soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
