Prso's headband 35,347 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I can understand the rotation argument if we’re playing 2 games a week for 10 weeks on the bounce. But including yesterday we have 3 games until the international break, really don’t understand the need for rotation when the majority will have a week off anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name another term who rotate their centre backs regularly? It's fucking stupid and isn't working. No idea. Since I had kids I genuinely don’t watch any football apart from our games. It didn’t work yesterday, but when we’ve done it against Ayr and Villareal it did just fine. As I said, apparently Katic has bad pain post Astro games. Just protecting him rather than rotating for the sake of it. More stupid is trying to wedge Lafferty and Morelos in the same side, and dropping out in form wingers. And shifting our formation that’s working well, to something odd that doesn’t for every league away game this year, Aberdeen side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that. If he doesn’t feel fresh or fit enough to play for his country’s unders then that’s up too him, it’s us first. No chance would I be resting any player cause the might be playing for their national squad WATPWATP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to look at Morelos last season for an example of what can happen if you don’t manage younger players well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 3 hours ago, graeme_4 said: We have to rotate at some points, given the huge number of games. Worral was fine against Ayr and Villareal, but he was honking yesterday. Katic has been ‘jaded’ recently with all the games coming at us, and also struggles with back issues post game when playing on astro. It’s not a case of being dropped or not preferred choice. Katic and Goldson are solid and 100% first choice IMO. Think this is nearer the truth than anything. Gerrard will realise there are going to be times that we need to rely in a third CB. That being the case it's important he gets him involved. We should still be able to beat the likes of Livingston whilst rotating our third choice CB in. If he turns out to be not good enough that's another matter, and we could have troubles ahead. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,504 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Worral wasnt fine against villareal, the centre halves were cut open numerous times, shagger and some incredible misses seem to be forgotten Ivybank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I think that lad is trying to get involved in the play - when he should just be concentrating on doing his job. I much prefer Katic on recent viewings and given we have 2 games and are then off for a fortnight, the squad rotation argument is borderline ludicrous. If we are contractually obligated to play him, then we should have bought someone - not loaned someone.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I think Gerrard underestimate Livingston - shown by his team selection - and that attitude permeated into his players and showed in their performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him closely as I was in row a yesterday, his backs always to the goal gets the ball and immediately gets rid of it ,plays a 2 yard pass and that's it. Still waiting for him to beat a man, guys a liability Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhrfc 2,242 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Don’t think rotation was an issue. Man for man we had a much stronger team than Livi. Attitude and tactics are the reason we lost. Which ever 11 turn out you expect them to be giving 100%. I could tell in the first five minutes that it was going to be one of those days. Piss poor attitude from the start. laudrupno1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I absolutely love big Niko but I have to say credit where it’s due Worrall was absolutely class tonight.
