Colin Traive 22,699 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Much as I would like to offer more support to Defoe, we have to win the battle in the middle first as we did against celtic and Aberdeen until the referee intervened. Killie are strong in there even though the players themselves are average. McCrorie, Jack, Arfield must be the first names on the team sheet. I also like the idea of Halliday instead of Barisic because Andy gets it. Up to the others to create chances for Defoe and, if they do, he’ll see us all right. The earlier game when Murphy got injured should be the template again today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Jack has been left alone for awhile he looks the easiest target to fall back on. Definitely Jack. As you say he hasn't been targeted as much by refs this season, though opposition players seem to have carte blanche to boot fuck out of him (more often than not with no attempt to go for the ball). Think I'll go for Arfield and possibly Goldson to both get the forensic levels of examination of any incidents they are involved in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I think Barisic was exposed second half due to the lack of cover in front of him and therefore the criticism is harsh imo. Felt a lot of the criticism of Tav for not dealing with 2 players attacking down our right was unfair at the time as well. On Wednesday Barisic found him between a rock and hard place a lot as well.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 With Defoe up front we need our MF to be looking for his movement for quick passes to his feet.We can't expect Defoe to play like MO. Again wi Defoe upfront,what's the point of high crosses into the middle from open play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe can’t play with his back to goal 40 yards out with 6 defenders behind him, he plays off the ball that he got at Aberdeen quick ball played through the channels one touch and bang. He won’t get that space or service in a 4-3-3. Hope I’m totally wrong mind you. 😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday would have struggled just as badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuck in or press. A lot of the criticism of Barisic stems from him appearing timid so far in his play, esp his defending. Don’t recall him imposing himself, or even better absolutely crunching someone. Think the concern is exasperated by the fact he’s probably one of the most physically imposing players we have. Hopefully it’s early days & he gets a grip of the way the game is played here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can defo be labeled against him but I don't think it comes from him being a shitebag and probably just due to him having a stop start beginning to his career here and he's holding back out of fear of being injured again.
