BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Now we've broken the away duck. I'm hoping we'll see more of the quick attacking play seen in that 10 min spell over the 90 mins away. We were too slack before then and almost got punished for it. Big 3 points however.

It's part of the game here whether we like it or not until the rules change if ever It's something we need to be able to deal with if we're to get to where we belong, can't just mention it every time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,647 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 There won't be a problem if we looked convincing seeing out games that are tight but we don't and its never been how we have done things in the past. Walter got us to a European final playing that way but knew it wasn't needed domestically Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last two away games (on plastic) we've struggled and looked slow and for some reason our passing is terrible on that kind of surface. That's nothing to do with tactics.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 We’ve moved up to 5th place. The away form has certainly been an issue. Nothing “knee jerk” about it we’re 9 games in to the season FFS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar 13,676 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Midfield is the issue. We need someone who’s good on tight pitches and can actually turn round and run towards the oppositions goal. Duncn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cascadeshrimp 1,455 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I don't think it's a tactics problem at all,we look to take an extra touch on the plastic and that slows us down and makes us look poor.

Ejaria was way too deep today and didn't effect the play enough and our centre halves starting position should have been at least 20 yards further forward with Hamilton sitting in so deep.

It literally is a different ball game on those surfaces. cascadeshrimp 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It looks like a combination of complacency and reluctance to play on the astro rather than tactics We played well going forward and created against Motherwell and Aberdeen despite the last minute disasters Ejaria as the ‘creator’ in our midfield three has to be braver on the ball and try to get us forward more often than he does in games like this rather than be content to play the backwards passes. At times today Rossiter and the 2 centre backs were on the halfway like waiting for someone to come and take the ball but the whole team had gone up for the long ball, Ejaria needs to be coming in to collect that ball and get us forward. I’m not sure if that is a tactical decision by Gerrard or a lack of responsibility taken by Ejaria and even Coulibaly who should be capable of picking the ball up and driving us forward I don’t think Candeias is suited to games where we’re on the front foot away from home,he does a much better job hassling teams who try to keep the ball against us in Europe and then getting in behind their defence when on the break, It might be worth giving Grezda a shot in games where Tav doesn’t need the cover Candeias provides Having Halliday at left back totally isolates Kent and our attack is far less effective down that side, Halliday is passable as a stop gap there but we look much better going forward with Barisic or even Flanagan when he’s playing like he did against Rapid in there giving us two attacking threats down each flank On the ball Goldson and whoever the other centre back is have to make much quicker decisions against teams who are sitting back, we win the ball dwell on it at the back and let them back into their shape far too often Other than that we look tremendous, now let’s ruin Spartak on Thursday and forget all about this moaning Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
