Don81 2,840 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Finishing and defending wise We're playing like a team that has hardly had a pre season which we haven't. Actually quite impressed with some of the link up play. Hopefully notch a couple in the second half... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carry on with that defence and we are winning fuck all. You can play all the tidy football you want but defending like that is always going to lose games. Which is why a defensive midfielder was a priority this season and we have signed Barton and Rossiter. Barton has only been training with the first team from Monday and Rossiter is away on international duty. What were people expecting in a game played on the 16th of July when our only previous game was against Charleston Battery?

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm not going to panic. There's deffo rustyness there, defence is fucking stinking as per usual but we're not at 100% yet and still in the market for someone in that position. Forrester looking lively, McKay in the mood and I don't think Waghorn is match fit yet. We will take them in the second half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people on here just want to slate the fuck out of us no matter how good or bad we are playing. Remember this is our first game of the season, it isn't even August yet and we aren't even using any of the 9(Including Dodoo) new signings which I think will have a great impact. Whats most frustrating is its the same basic mistakes as last season from the same people. Tav, Kiernan and Halliday's positional play is atrocious, they had all last season to rectify that so what is going to change with a few more weeks of pre season?

Really hoping that Halliday isn't playing defensive mid regularly this season. Kiernan and Wilson both looking worrying as well. Halliday won't be playing defensive midfield this season. Do you think we bought Barton and Rossiter to warm the bench? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,057 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The defence is a total bombscare most of the time, a pacy centre back is a must, as much as i agree that Barton and rossiter will provide cover the defence ultimately needs to defend better for themselves.

jintybear 8,536 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yes we should have lost goals in the first half but folk seem to forget that we should have scored a few as well. If every shot was to go in we would be 5-4 down and we should have got a penalty. The only thing that actually matters is the ball going into the back of the net and that hasn't happened. People need to stop panicking (Me included)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Need to freshen this up Warburton moaning the games coming too fast but he's partly to blame for us being off the pace in about 4 weeks of pre season training almost we've played one friendly whereas Motherwell had 3/4? That's his preparations his call the defence is actually shocking and Holt and Halliday are so average it's unreal I'm expecting a change and us to step it up second half Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have Busquets and Mascherano in front of that defence and they would still fuck it up. Other than Wallace that back line needs changed.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Kenny Miller tracks back and saves our defence. Says all. Same as last season. Central defence poor at moving the ball out of defence. Too many square balls, letting the oppo organise. No defence splitting passes. Shot shy in front of goal. Opposition then just play one long forward ball and we are all over the place. We control the middle third of the park and nothing else. We need to move the ball from back to front much much quicker or goal scoring opportunities will become a rarity. Pass and move FORWARD FFS! Possession is one thing, goals another. Our central defenders are a weakness in being indecisive and therefore slow in making the play going forward and a bomb scare in defending. Our midfield need to now there are more options than passing sideways. Continue with this and better teams than Motherwell will have us. It will only take one breakaway by Motherwell to Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottyarf37 963 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 So Nieve as always, diving in to try win the ball when it's not an option. Haliday pushing to far forward and not staying central. Need to up the tempo, quicker passing and either Kenny Or Waghorn need to get in the box. Let's get intae them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 No need to shit the bed just yet, but if there's no noticable improvement at the back, then Warbs has to ring the changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
