Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 It’s that simple. Put us up against quality teams who play open, passing football (the way it should be played) and we can beat most on our day. put us up against the amateurs in the SPL and their anti-football and we can’t seem to always adjust to the shite tactics they put up against us. it’s no excuse for our results after Xmas but i can see the problems we face trying to break down 11 men behind a ball playing for a draw or lucky goal. Home games should always be 2 up top going forward imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck knows what it is ,just a lack ov urgency domestically since Xmas , Start of season was slow too until Barasic scores that free kick We can steamroller the cloggers but need to be quicker at switching play and better movement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 A European run is great but it’s an extremely unlikely route to a trophy. If we can’t sort ourselves out domestically then things still look bleak long term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,488 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We look more like a team who’ve worked on a plan in Europe, in the league it looks like we’re turning up hoping for the best and it shows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But the way he has set us uo suits european teams who come at us. We sit in and say "come at us" and play really nice football from midfield to get behind them.

Moody Blue 9,346 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I don't agree, the team kept the ball well, passed and move, closed down well all across the park. In the league we have done none of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck knows how much we've earned up till now. Play like this in Europe and bring in money for better players and we'll be brushing these hammer throwing cunts aside and going for Celtics throat.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,492 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We played tonight like every spfl plays against us, sat in and hit on the break, restricted them to crossing the ball as they couldnt get through the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,705 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 A lot of money spent in Ryan Kent. A long long way to go to repay that money but he’s bagged us €1.1m tonight, additional gate receipts for the last 16 tie too. For me, the leagues done and that is borderline unforgivable. If we finish 2nd by more points this year than last then I don’t know but we need to go and fuck Hearts at the weekend and chase silverware where we can. We can win the Scottish Cup.

beararse 6,365 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 30 games played under Gerrard. 3 defeats. That is an absolutely astonishing record. We might be struggling domestically but that stat alone proves he can manage, and his team can play. Just need to figure out how to get back to pumping the SPFL dross !
