Jimfanciesthedude 24,986 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Dear lord that was the worst feeling coming back from a game for many many seasons, to think we could effectively be out of europe before july finishes, that must be one for the books Ive never seen a central midfield pairing that make so little blocks and tackles on the opponents midfielders, mcculloch is a yard short of the game, no amount of effort for the team will cover that, i honestly cannot remember mcculloch successfully tackling an opponent tonightedu has all the attributes for a centre mid, his positional play is fucking woeful though, but at least he has the speed and agility to get back into position, still not good enough, tonight how many times did their midfielders get to run 20 yards at least without a blue shirt anywhere near them, the only time i seen edu and mcculloch closer to our goal than their opposite numbers was when we had the ball steven whittaker will never be a right back, if whittaker was to ever play against rangers, even ortiz or lafferty would look like an awesome left middavis must be removed from corners and free kicks, he simply cannot judge them, they are either too soft or too hard, one out of every 7 into the proper area is not good enoughalso, why is it that every single player that plays for the club must have to look worse than they are by getting shunted to left mid, on the bench tonight we had TWO naturally left footed players, yet we bring on a right footed midfielder to play then seriously what are the fucking management team thinking about when that sub was madehealy is simply a waste of wages if we will not bring him on when its clearly obvious that naismith and jelavic were having a stinker, and what the fuck do we train at, tonight they had 4 corners, the first two resulted in free headers when we outnumbered them in the box 11-7, and why do we leave no one up front when we concede a corner, we cleared two corners in the second half and the ball came right back into the box because we dont have anyone up the park to actually get the clearancethe only 2 plus points from tonight were that wallace looked very decent, never seen a boy shout for the ball so much yet have to wait about 30 seconds to actually get the balland another good point is that we simply cannot play any worse, forget naismiths two chances in the second half, tonight that was absolute garbage Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it doesn't go down that route.It has all the ingredients so far.I've already got such a bad feeling about this season and it does not bode well.One thing I'm certain of though is that things would improve majorly if McCulloch and Edu were out of the midfield completely and Davis was allowed to partner a new strong central-midfielder that would allow him to play at his best.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,986 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 what frightens me the most is the complete lack of understanding with the formation and tacticswe started witha converted centre half at left backa natural left back at left mida centre forward as a defensive mida centre mid as a right mid when we had the balla striker as a right mid when we didnt have the ball(we played 4-4-2 when we had the ball, and 4-5-1 without it)so that is to an extent 5 people out of 11 that are out of position, half yer fucking team, and its through the managers choice and nothing else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrior1690 6 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 not on your own have the same feelings myself,and what depresses me more is the knowledge that we have a manager who thinks there is nothing wrong with his tactics and team selections proved by his comments after the match tonight.

And Allys interview after the game dosn't fill me with confidence.talking about confidence it was obvious that whittaker had none in the second half and it was beyond belief he hugged the touchline not wanting the ball and straight in front of the manager he still never made the change, we needed width and pace something we are sadly lacking with no weiss or miller........

G.E.C. 19,082 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Set pieces have been a problem for the past 3-4 years now.Said this many times but we haven't had a good corner taker since Ricksen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think most of us said we didn't think Ally was ready for this job long before he was asked to take the helm.I'm not going to give up on him yet but lets not underestimate how serious the ramifications are if we don't turn this around in the second leg.I think we can turn it around but we really need a creative midfielder as well as central defenders and Goodwillie to partner Jela,we cannot persist with Edu and McCulloch in midfield together,it's like asking Laurel and Hardy to fling stones into the water from a boat.
