bluenoz 30,836 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just now, RFCRobertson said: Second to most balls, and most players happy to try and wait for something to happen rather than grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck and taking it too the taigs. The old firm at ibrox in December last year is exactly what we had to do, get right up into their face and pressure them from the get go. Tactically wrong yes but not lazy.

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gerrard could have put out a different starting 11 and the same result would have happened. The players just wern't interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,352 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 midfield ended up cancelling one another out, the difference AGAIN is them in the final third versus us at the top half of the park Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovenkrands72 479 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Stevie G got it wrong from the start, starting a game with ZERO width or pace against a defence that includes Boli Bolongoli. Morelos should have started aswell. First time ive tasted an old firm defeat at Ibrox...horrible feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost because of one mistake and poor passing. Lazy bastards my arse! A loss of sharpness is the more accurate description.

fin8577 402 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 For me it screams out that we need a top class striker and a creative player that can make something out of nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pish, we controlled the game after half time but they were able to go full St Mirren tactics and do us on the break because we gifted them the full first half and a goal to boot magic8ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim beam 2,188 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 They showed their intent right from kick off and pressed us and closing the space down it forced us into making mistakes all over the park.Gerrard got his tactics and team selection all wrong TLB did not and that’s worrying.

Agreed..when we won both our home games v them last season we were first to everyball everytackle and never aloud them to breath. They came and dun to us what we dun to them.

hammer93 15,057 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gerrards tactics was to nullify them in wide areas which meant it affected our attacking threat, Forrest never kicked his arse and the boy Johnson was ok so that worked....but with that line up he had to start Morelos as we know he would drag their back line out of position....the first goal was crucial and by half time it was already looking like a lost cause....Aribo I know is getting a lot of stick but fuck me imagine playing him so far up where he basically had his back to goal which certainly isn't his game...a bad day for Gerrard and his tactics but the effect on remainder of the season is the worrying thing as they are pish but we still couldn't lay a glove on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fucked up all over the pitch but they were far more potent in the final third. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
