delamonty 992 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 We just moved to London but I missed the match since BT is a joke etc.. But just watched the highlights. Am I wrong in thinking we were not even in this match? It was all about them. ffs.... IF so, how/why have we gone backward? Has MW taken us as far as he can? Rodgers has managed at the highest level.... MW? No. Great guy etc. Up to the board imho. 5-6 players in. Losing hurts . We can all accept a loss IF we play for the jersey. If the manager can't at least that out of them, he needs to go. btw.. Gilks looked the business.... Cheers Bears. We'll be back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.T.G 10,773 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Was backs to the wall stuff, dire Whenever we got the ball back we lost it, we continually made slack passes to midfield or attack and then put us straight onto the backfoot The problem here is Warburton doesn't change his system, so their manager now knows exactly how to nullify our midfield and stop our attacks before they begin all because MW refuses to change or adapt the system to counter what they do or think they are going to do McKay was pushed and shoved off the ball easily, Windass was crowded and made about a dozen shit passes to no cunt All in all it was a dreadful day and had the scum had an extra 2-3 top quality players it would have been easily 4 or 5, and that's the fucking drastic nature of it all, we are just lucky they are shite and couldn't take advantage of their dominance If MW had opted for the midfield to play a couple long balls over the shoulder for Miller or the other 2 on the wings to run into it may have changed the scums defence into pushing so high but they know we were only going to play into feet so they stepped up with ease every time to clear their lines and go and attack again Struggled to put 2/3 passes together all game, none of the midfielders bar Tav and Holt managed to find any space at all and when they did they had no option but Miler coz nobody else wanted the fucking ball Gilks was outstanding but like any goal keeper you can only do what you can as top class finishers will always find the net and fortunately their strikers didn't have a great game, and we really shouldn't be expecting out GK to be man of the match Defence badly let down by the midfield, offered no protection, can't count on one hand how many times their players were able to drift 10 or 20 yards unchallenged towards the edge of our penalty box No meaty challenges or desire from our players, no bravery and no fight, didn't want the ball and the only way we could have won that game was penalties Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think we have stalled but they have improved- it's churlish to say otherwise. One thing about that semi last April though - they had over 30 attempts at goal that day, hit the post, bar and missed a right sitter. So it was no walkover- a lot of our defensive problems existed then we just got a good slice of luck that day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Heroic goalkeeping aside, we weren't any better yesterday than we were in the 5-1 game at the piggery. Some players were actually worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players were actually worse. I agree with this 100%. No difference at all, well that's not true we defended a lot better yesterday. But our overall play, passing, tempo, chances created etc - basically everything else was literally no different to the 5-1 game. The 5-1 game didn't flatter us because we couldn't defend. The 1-0 game yesterday flattered us because we could defend (for a change) Either way Celtic the better team and miles ahead of us in every department in both games. That's the common denominator.

The reality is that our best result was a 2-2 draw with a shite Celtic side and we rode our luck to get it before beating them in the lottery that is a penalty shootout.

dummiesoot 16,009 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The semifinal in the Scottish cup they were shooting from miles out, they must have hit around 10 shots from thirty yards out. we outplayed them without creating more chances, then again we do tend to try and walk the ball into the net. Unfortunately when you have as slow a centre back pairing as we have, you cannot expect to control a game against Them now. We need to add real pace to our team at the back before we can hope to play the way Warburton wants us to play. we were gubbed yesterday. totally flattered by the score.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing except when the manager went for damage limitation he fluked a right good fucking, you can spout all the pish you want but we are second best and it shows by the shite bury your head in the sand comments on this thread.

Exactly, last season we controlled the midfield and they were running about like headless chickens, our attacking play let them have so many shots and as you say they were hitting from everywhere out of desperation Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
