GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Back to 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 and we will see the Russians off with comparitive ease. Objective must be to take the game to them, score, and kill the tie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,255 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Was really confident in our defence until yesterday, didn't see us losing 2 let alone 3 goals. Thursday will tell whether yesterday was a defensive blip. Hope to fuck it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,433 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Give Coulibaly 20 mins so he's ready for the old firm. There's not many others we can rest without starting Middleton which I wouldn't be against but don't think we will. I'd say out of Lafferty and Morelos one should start on Thursday and one should start on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yesterday I felt so dissapointed and embarrassed by the teams second half performance and of course the end result. But it's done now and I can't wait for Thursday now c'mon the gers we can do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,260 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Massive game both financially but also for setting things right and get the momentum back for Sunday. Back to 433 with candeias and Kent starting. Hopefully we can start with jack, Coulibaly and Arfield to let Arfield get further forward but suspect it’s too soon for Coulibaly to start so most likely ejaria. We need to be on the front foot from the first whistle and put the tie to bed. Sunday’s second half has to be a lesson in why not to sit back against teams.

Agreed mate I still can't understand why we did so in the second half yesterday. We went in 3-2 up after coming from behind twice that is what baffles me.

Being 3-2 I’d have wanted a rocket up their arse anyway as Motherwell are horrid and we just let play how they wanted to second half, it was undoubtedly the worst half under Gerrard so far and I really hope he has said to the press it was two goals from set pieces but given the players a dressing down over the effort second half. That said we’ve had a lot of games and the weather would have made heavier legs than usual so I’m prepared to cut them a bit of slack but they have to do something we failed to do under Warburton.....learn from it and cut it out of our game going forward.

evenstevens 869 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 We can talk tactics all we want and 3 at the back looked uncomfortable for a pairing that had previously excelled but each goal conceded late (or problem we’ve had) has been us dropping into our 18 yard box. Aberdeen, Osijek, Motherwell all came about as a result of us sitting on top of McGregor. Step forward 10 yards starting position and we don’t concede. Was same in Maribor, though they missed the pen. Too deep. Cut that out and we won’t see it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoGeo7 10,260 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Has to be this line-up for me IF Coulibaly isn't fit to start. It is not the time to go with 2 up top in my mind and I think Lafferty is nowhere near as effective out wide as he is through the middle so it has to be Morelos leading the line.
