  1. His passing is outstanding. He played a 30-40 yard pass when under pressure from to players to Diomande, took about half their team out the game and the weight of the pass allowed Dio to turn and break.
  2. Lundstram and Lawrence need hooked asap
  3. Would be our best bet, but Baloguns not in the Europa squad and I’m not sure if Davies is fit (is Leon King still here?)
  4. Lol exactly. Unless Dessers becomes R9 reincarnated you’ve got nothing going forward. Him and Silva would be so isolated
  5. He gets caught under the ball all the time. It’s by far the biggest flaw in his game. On the deck he’s fine, good passer with both feet hence why can play LCB. If I were the opposition manager, I’d constantly be asking my midfield/defenders to float diagonal balls into the LCB channel, which they have been doing recently.
  6. Mental how we’ve managed to sign the only Scottish defender in history who can’t head the ball.
  7. Yes. But we’d have to just lock the gates and not come back if we won in Dublin. I think we’d get shut down, Ireland wouldn’t know what had hit it. It would be the pinnacle, there’s never be another night that eclipses it.
  8. Needs to get a pre season under him. Unfortunately on current form, that’ll be elsewhere as doubt Clement will fancy him on current form. We’ll probably get our money back/slightly more for him.
  9. We wouldn’t, we’d only have 3 points more (yesterday) and chances are Hearts would’ve lost to celtic today without him. So currently him staying put is fine
  10. I’d pay Hearts to keep him there and just play against them. Get in son
  11. Real Ronaldo, Redondo, Zidane and Ronaldinho. All of them made complicated things look effortless. Zizou at the WC 06 was arguably the best individual highlight reel you’ll see. But R9 at Barcelona was scary, honestly never seen anything like it before or since. What could’ve been, he’d had smashed every record
  12. Our problems yesterday were due to the fact the entire side had a collective shocker. We’ve also went from having Cantwell, Lawrence and Silva as our creative players, to shoehorning Sterling, Diomande and McAusland into those 3 positions. That’s why we didn’t take our chances. Souttar needs to learn to head a fucking ball and Goldson had an absolute mare yesterday also.
  13. Not meaningful, but them and several others on the fringes e.g. Jack, Souttar, Barisic etc are given chances when appropriate and kept as part of things. A lot of managers would’ve frozen those players out and be burning out our current best 11-14 players, but Clements playing a very clever hand. He’s won league titles before at multiple clubs and knows how it works.
  14. Tactically he makes things simple, but his man management is arguably his best asset from what I’ve read. We could easily be in a situation where players like Cantwell could have downed tools because of being subbed early. Or had people like Wright, Davies etc not contributing because they were nearly out the door. There’s a unity here that hasn’t been there for a very long time.
  15. Feels like roles reversed in the 21/22 season. We were the early pace setters, then their January signings hit the ground running whilst ours flopped. They started finding ways to win every week and tanked a few sides, whilst we scraped by. This time it’s our turn, league will be done by April
  16. Not sure about away, but if there’s 1 goal in it going back to Ibrox, we’ll progress. It’s Thursday nights at Ibrox after all…
  17. It’s got to the stage where I’m blaming him for how shite we were under Gerrard in 3 out of 4 seasons.
