OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Tell his keeper and defenders to stop hoofing it up to the invisible front line and get the ball on the deckIf there's no outball, then a long aimless pass is better than a short pass that goes to the opposition.The midfield can't keep making the runs every second of the 90 minutes. Davis was immense today and some of those youngsters did themselves great credit.That said, we did have some bloody good passing moves today and could easily have won that match by a few with a Cousin, Miller, Naismith or Lafferty available.

No wonder Dundee were tearing our defense to pieces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 As I pointed out in the other thread the comment about no strikers for half is a season is utter nonsense and is far from the truth.Justify your claim.Healy can only play intermittently. Little is far from established. Hemmings is even less established. McCulloch isn't really a striker.Naismith out since November. Jelavic was effectively the same after downing tools and Lafferty's been more out than in.Are you really claiming that Healy and Little would have us winning matches consistently?Where is this decent front line that we've simply not chosen to use?
