I think he's been excellent ever since the game at parkhead. I hope it continues!
-
Playing him on the right wouldn't work either, it would mean he'd have to take on a defender!
He's some how managed to be the most talented player in our squad as well as the most predictable at the same time. He sums up our attack this season: slow, plodding, predictable and actually just shite.
The defence with McKay is that "he has potential" "he's young" and my favourite "he's a winger, they're all inconsistent".
He gets a pass all the time from some. How many good games has he played this season? I can count them on my one hand. He got plaudits at Hogmany vs them but that's cause he just wasn't shite for once. Wingers are inconsistent because they usually play well every 1 in 2 or 1 in 3. Our Barrie plays fucking well 1 in 10 or 1 in 15.

Don't see anything out of the ordinary announcing the team a day early. Killie will have prepared whatever they have prepared before this afternoon anyway (10 men behind the ball).
I'm not too concerned about Bates and Beerman in the side. If anything I'm relieved Keirnan isn't. Two young defenders making their debut together in any other season would have worried me, but our defence is pish this year anyway so I welcome seeing some new blood.

So what if a team turns defence into attack and the opposition ask for a video review of a tackle in the box, then the counter attack is stopped
Depends if it's Rangers or not!
Really good point though, perhaps it would only work if the decision was actually given, then they could review it.

Notice in the media Messi always gets painted out as an angel compared to Ronaldo who has always been viewed as a brat/primadonna type? But in reality Ronaldo does all his charity work and seems to care about a lot of things out with football and Messi is a tax dodging wee prick.

I do think football has to grow with technology. I genuinely don't know why we cant have an official sitting in a room watching a telly. If the ref has to make a difficult call and get's it wrong the 'tv assistant" can let him know from watching replays. It would take 10 seconds like the OP was mentioning. If a decision needed overturned, like a wrongly given pen for example, the game could restart with a drop ball. I don't think it's fair refs get one look at it and we get up sometimes 10 to 15 looks at it.

I'd love for him to stay with us and develop for 3 or 4 years and then we sell on even for a couple of million.
For me the kid should look at tierney playing for them (hate the comparison but I feel it's fitting). He plays every week, winning games, winning trophies and playing in Europe. He might not be on a huge wage packet you might get down in England, but in the long term he will get a decent move and make more money long term.
If Gilmour leaves he will sit in Chelsea's youth and reserve teams not playing in any important games and eventually go to Vitesse on loan with zero pressure and end up playing in the lower tiers of England. Personally I don't see the appeal apart from the massive wage packet you'd recieve for 4 or 5 years.
I don't think it's even fair a 15yo kid should have to make such huge decisions. He's going to have loads of people in his ear telling him what to do and what is right. For me none of it's correct and it's just another issue with modern football. Surely young (up to 18) players should be protected from super big moves or big money so young? A salary cap or something. You wouldn't see an apprentice in any vocation making more money than veteran workers in other establishments (in this case a epl youth can make more than an experienced championship player). It stinks.

Sellik always score in the last few minutes...oh wait

Craig Moore over Danny Blind any day of the week. He played with some cracking players in his time.
-
Yeah different quotes from the story they are trying to push.
I firmly believe if you play Waghorn it should be as a striker. I have never seen the appeal of him out right. I feel we played our best football last season with him up top with his back to goal using his strength and fashioning chances for himself and others.
-
I wouldn't say that just yet. Granted you can only beat what's infront of you, but it was Hamilton who offered nothing to the game. They came to sit and defend without having a go at 0-0 or 4-0.
I like how he talks about the game and is willing to focus on other opponents, but we can't really find out if the board has player a blinder for a year or two. If they haven't we will know sooner.
Today's game wont reveal much, but the 3 games after the international break at home to Motherwell and away to Kilmarnock & Aberdeen in the same week will give us good idea what's coming.

"Goals change games" was a personal favourite. Good job he never thought we'd have to keep them out!
-
I'd give him another year as a back up. I'd also keep Wilson as a back up too with Keirnan and Senderos leaving, but we definetely need two strong centre backs signed in the summer.

A draw against them at the san giro has always been considered a good result even for title chasing Rangers teams. So considering how this team generally plays and the fact we lost 5-1 there last time it's a fantastic result and we should be happy.
How many times have we won there this century 4/5 times? Stop trying to play the "oh we are Rangers" card today and just enjoy a good day.
I should also say people are probably happy because of the performance. We actually played like a Rangers team today. The players showed passion, fight and a bit of fucking balls for once. We didnt just defend for 90 minutes either, we went at them and had the best two chances of the game which Waghorn should have taken one of them (the first one).
95% percent of us went or watched fearing the worst and Murty and the players gave us what we deserve and it's a good sign for the rest of the season, in particularly the semi, with the new manager coming in.

How come the tims have to be everybodys pal? It's quite sad. They're like a beaten dug who craves attention but really needs put down.

5 days on and they're still going on about it

McInnes has done a lot more at Aberdeen than McLeish had done at Hibs before joining us. When he took over they finished 8th the season before then finished in 3rd, 2nd, 2nd and currently sit 2nd (above us who have a bigger budget)under him. He won the League Cup in 2014 and got to the final this year (granted got a tanking off the tims). When he was at St. Johnstone he won Division 1 and got them promoted and he knows our league inside out.
He had a tough time in England but was with a perennial yo-yo club. I think there is enough on McInnes' CV to say he would improve us rather than take us backwards.
Genuinely don't know what people expected him to do at Aberdeen going up against Celtic? Even the two years with Deila in charge they won the title with 93 & 86 points. The first year we won the the title back off Celtic under Smith (08/09) we scored 86 points.
Caixinha is a huge risk and could go completely tits up. There is nothing on his CV (including a Mexican title, which is decided in a playoff format) to suggest he can come here and be successful.
At the end of the day though it doesn't matter if it's Caixinha, McInnes or fucking Antonio Conte if there are no decent funds given to them they will be winning no titles.
-
11 men behind the ball, defend like fuck and get out with a point. Sounds very negative about our chances but it's our only chance of any kind of result.
-
I disliked the 3rd in the championship team more than this current crop. This current crop gave us some good times last season. They won that league easy and gave us a nice cup run (though they made a fucking arse of the final). A lot more achievement than the likes of Black and Foster.

No, we played 4-3-3.
It was flexible between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3, whenever we attacked Ball sat in with the two centre halfs. Ball was a centre half playing a holding role. When we went forward we had three centre halfs protecting our goal. Maybe we could play flexible football if we had a player as intellegent as Ball.

Never worked at new year.
Well we played McKay at wing back that day which effectively meant Wilson was playing left back. With Wallace back you could get McKay further up the park. Also at New Year we were playing a much stronger team than the rest of the teams we play so I wouldn't base it on one game.
Last year we got our two best results playing a similar system with Kiernan, Wilson and Ball filling in (4-0 Dundee & 2-2 Celtic)
-
I'd play Senderos, Wilson & Hill. Use Wallace and Tavernier as wing-backs and let them attack without leaving the two centre backs exposed which happens every week when we play a back four.
-
I'd like to see a manager come in and build from the back. You will not win any league conceding a goal a game or worse.
I've never understood these coaches or managers who want to try and play "good football" (whatever that actually means) without building the foundations at the back to achieve it.

We have only scored over two goals four times this season in the league. Once under Warburton, once under Murty and Twice under Caixinha.
We've kept three clean sheets in his four games in charge. The only goal we have conceded was against Motherwell when three of our back four were struggling with knocks or illness.
You take into account the way he changed the game today in the second half, had to blood in young guys into the defence and win convincingly in a big game away from home really has me optimistic about the future.
Feet firmly on the ground though.
