And that's what he does every time he plays. Miss a half chance, give away some needless fouls and head the ball up in the air a few times. He's utter garbage mate. He’s shite but he’s still a better fit physically for the style of football we were trying to play tonight than Defoe is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 We weren't good enough. Thankfully the next couple of games without Morelos aren't against any of the better sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one from this thread VIP and to be fair it was OK, it seems a real lucky bag whether these links work or not. I just think it is ridiculous for the SFA to go with a third TV station, bloody nuts, but hopefully we will get to the replay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game (for me) was crying out for someone like Davis to make those passes in behind that Defoe could work with. I also thought Candeias, despite his hard work, was poor and should have been swapped for Middleton and Kent brought over to the right. That would have given Kilmarnock something to think about. Tbh I think our players are scared of the pitch rightly so it's a disgrace at Ibrox on grass we should take 3/4 off them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but he played for a draw or not to lose and it worked. It was the same against the sheep where he played not to lose after it went to 10 v 10. Fustrating as a fan but he’s got what he set out for and that can only be looked at as good management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would one of the CB's but they'd still be just as chronic mate c'mon to fuck. Get the ball down and play a bit. We looked at our best tonight in the very small periods where we got it down and knocked it around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jones. He is fast and good with the ball at his feet (well shouldn't all pro footballers be?) and can take players on. He always plays decent against us and the scum so I assume he's also good in other games. He'll offer us good options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could help get Defoe involved more in the game if it pushes the play up the park, worth considering as a plan B at least because the service and chances were just not there for Defoe tonight and its a big ask to expect 1 chance, 1 goal every time.

That would rule Fred out for the replay and he'd be back for hamilton away. If that's the rule then yes, Alfie (and most likely McGregor) will miss St. Johnstone at home and the replay and be back for Hamilton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,592 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Tav scores the penalty we're through, just one of those games today playing against 10 men behind the ball. Shows how badly we miss Morelos as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 That was brutal. Not a lot of quality coming from midfield. We are still lacking quality in centre mid. Davis may be the answer, but 5 minute cameo appearances will do nothing. Drastic in the final third. Shot shy in front of goal and Defoe cannot play as a lone striker. The timing of Gerrard's sub's remains fucking awful. Lafferty should have been on early second half to either play alongside Defoe or to replace him. No apologies, Tav had a fucking mare. Ran his heart out, but decision making was poor as was his passing and never let him near a dead ball again. McCrorie, Candieas, Halliday solid. High balls into the box just won't do. On the plus side, that was their cup final and we will shred them at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never shirks out a challenge or fuck all. If he could shoot he'd be fucking unbelievable. A midfield warrior and one of our own. Plenty of time for him to improve.

BlueKnight87 17,279 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Poor performance but not a disaster. Worried another late sucker punch was coming. Back at home fancy us to beat them. Gaffer left the subs far too late, not the first time this season. Should have happen 15 mins before. We should be asking some serious questions after this week why power and broadfoot were still on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 So. Is it realistic to think that after all the talk we've had from SG about needing to make sure we start games correctly and have the mentality to win the individual battles and to impose our game on the opposition that yet again, yet again, there is an abject failure to do so? Why is that? He can't keep saying that sort of thing then every other game we see the team shrinking back into a shell and refusing to step up through the gears. Or was this game about money? About both sides conveniently playing out a turd-like draw so that gate receipts (and TV money) are generated from a replay. I'm not too serious with that suggestion as if there were any shred of reality in it then there would be trouble. But the thing is it seemed to be a collective team effort to play so badly and (it seemed) not really be trying all that hard to score. A very convenient draw with all to play for and with some more money to be made in doing so. Will be very interested to hear what SG has to say after this game. More of the same 'not good enough' type of comment will not be good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
