Unfortunately, when I look our team with Tav as captain I cant help feeling we will repeat the lacklustre Dundee performance several times before the season is out. Why won't they? They're hardly a team of world-beaters. They've managed to beat Killie once in the last five attempts iirc. It looks like they've lost Christie for a while, Griffiths is out indefinitely leaving them with one striker. They'll drop more points this season.

Gordon is struggling for form, their defence is shite, Brown's on the way out and much more. If it was as simple as they won't drop points then we'd have been as well just sacking it off and locking the doors permanently. richles1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have still not given up taking the title this season, but he needs to give up on those consistently letting him down namely Coulibaly, Worrall, Ejaria and Flanagan. They are simply not good enough. Get a settled CD pairing and get any cunt in that midfield bar Coulibaly. I fucking cringe when I see that name. Then there's Tav. Get rid of that armband. He's lost the plot. Maybe better benched for a while and stick with the best 11 ffs. No more tinkering. Hopefully some quality in January.

Wait, so he's to bench the right-back but can't play the second-choice right-back? In what way has Tavernier 'lost the plot'? BlueMe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think now is when we will see just what Gerrard has and can he put wins together consistently. All we have is league games now and the Scottish cup. I just don't get your point, "we will see just what Gerrard has". Firstly, the terminology is SG / Steve G / The Manager etc. It is not Gerrard, have some respect. 22 games left in the league and you have given up because of one result. Going by your logic, we beat Hearts away so does that mean we're going to stroll the league. I will guarantee that you, like a lot of us sensible folk, never saw that we would get as far as we did in EL. We got there because WE saw what SG has.

We drew away to a Dundee side which had 10 men for well over an hour. It's not about giving up but I see no evidence that we are capable of winning a league title because we are simply not consistent enough or have the players good enough to do it over the course of a season.

Somehow despite that we still managed to win the title in 53 of the seasons we dropped points. It happens. I could pick literally any season we've won the title and pick out games we shouldn't have lost. That's football. The evidence is probably the fact that we're a massive two points (less than you get for winning a single game) off the leaders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck knows how they managed to win the title and get within 90 minutes of the European Cup final. Should've probably just given up EDIT: And this doesn't even include OF results or cup games.
