Tbf he’s been utterly shite every subs appearance he’s made under Clement.

He knows, but he’s hardly gonna say they’re a bunch of losers when there’s still a minuscule chance we win the league

When we appointed Clement, I remember listening to a podcast they did on him and they interviewed a Monaco fan. The one negative that stuck out was that he didn’t know how to get a side out of a rut. Safe to say we’re seeing that now, some fucking timing

Mental how we’ve completely fallen off a cliff since Yilmaz got injured.

Even that isn’t enough as our GD is 5 worse than theirs.

Leagues done and they’ll probably win it at Parkhead against us. Fucking brilliant. Tav, Goldson, Lundstram, just fuck off

We’re fucking dire

Big 45 minutes, title race is over if we don’t win this

What the actual fuck

Agreed but sometimes you have to sign the players under your nose. Signing Sima for £5-6million (if possible), is a no brainer. You’ll never lose money on that unless we let him run down his deal like Kent/Morelos. You could easily spend that money on someone else who fails and be in a worse position, we don’t know if Danilo will end up being a good signing for example.

We’ve got to try and sell the likes of Davies, Matondo, Raskin, Wright, Dessers, Lammers and let all the out of contract players leave. If we can bring in the guts of £10million for them, it doesn’t weaken the squad a great deal. Need to push the boat out to get Sima, get Danilo back fit and sign another quality striker and we’d be okay upfront. Assume we’ll sign Cortez, McAusland is a useful bench option, but we’ll need another starting XI wide player and then some cover, although the likes of Wright and Matondo offer nothing there currently. Cantwell, Diomande and Lawrence are fine, but we need a proper CDM to replace Lundstram who’s had his chance. CBs a fucking mess, Goldson looks done, Souttar makes a lot of mistakes and then we have nothing else barring King. Need to push the boat out here and sign someone a level above, equivalent to what the tarriers did the CCV. Amazing what one good CB does for a back 4, can almost carry them single handedly at times. GK is fine and Yilmaz and Tav are okay, but if any kid of Saudi money comes in for Tav I’d sell and sign another RB.

The leadership team, as they’ve never led us to consistent success and won’t Goldson should never have been given a new deal (we’ll be stuck with him for the next 2 years and he’ll get progressively worse). Tavernier whilst an incredible threat for goals, just isn’t the same player and looks sick of it all. Lundstram has a good 3-4 month spell then reverts to type. Has never bossed a meaningful league Old Firm game. Never shows up when the chips are down domestically, prefers standing between the CBs doing fuck all. Get rid of them and replace with people who don’t have the battle scars of the past 3 seasons of domestic embarrassment. I’m not counting the cups, should be a given we win at least 1 every year.

I think they’ll drop points in one of their games, but we’re in a bad place and I honestly don’t think we’ll be there to capitalise on it. We’ve looked down at out before (Walters last title being a great example), so we need to make sure we stay in it. If they do slip up, I’d never forgive this crop of players if we didn’t at least capitalise on that. If we lose the title because of Parkhead, fair enough. They’re 50/50 games and you can’t control them. But if the tarriers drop points to Kilmarnock and we don’t put pressure on because we’ve dropped points against the likes of Dundee, then that’ll be criminal.

Hearts have had a really good youth academy for a few seasons now and hearing they think a lot of the crop of players between the ages of 15-17. I don’t hear anything near that level of excitement about the equivalent ages from our side…

Sounds like we’ll still get CL automatically if we win the league, as long as the winners of thenCL this year qualify via their league position

Needs to be played at Ibrox or a neutral ground

It’ll feel like it, but it won’t be 100% decisive. We’ve seen it before in the 04/05 season where we lost the OF, but they dropped points elsewhere and we won our games. Beating Dundee and by a big scoreline which helps the GD, is massive. Means they have to win all their games including the OF

Aye Goldson can GTF

League cup final 2011, momentum had completely shifted their way due to the previous 3 OF games. Davis and Jelavic getting us there, if we didn’t win that final there’s no way we’d have had the Kilmarnock title win as Walters last game. Unthinkable, especially when you think that horrible cunt across the city would’ve won the title instead

I’d take Sima over him. Silva would arguably be a better player in a more technical league, but Sima has shown he can do it for us domestically and in Europe.

Thought he got an assist yesterday, must’ve been Cantwell…

Lol, Matondo cannot play RW. I imagine it’ll be Sterling at RW and Diomande alongside Lundstram. You’ll have Silva LW and Dessers up top. Gives us the freedom to bring Sima off the bench up top, Matondo LW and McAusland RW if/when needed.

He was their 2nd choice behind Pickford, he was 100% going

Probably just a guess they’ve made to get clicks.

We have to win at Ibrox. You have to view the OF games and assume 3 points is the minimum we need, 4 or more and we’ve probably got one hand on the trophy. Come out with less than 3 points and we’re in trouble, brutal draw post split plus the momentum will all be with them.
