bluenoz 30,915 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Prove me wrong Gerrard with a convincing victory. Call me old fashioned but you have to earn the jersey or deserve to lose it. I don't like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,001 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 This team is strong enough to win. However, why change a winning team (vs Livi)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I really hope Gerrard knows what he’s doing here, we simply cannot afford any more dropped points. Changing formation and dropping two players (Candeias and Jack) who have been playing well to accommodate Defoe and Davis, if we win it will be forgotten about but any dropped points here and Gerrard will be under pressure big time.

Nothing to do with rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some shocking results home and away with 4-3-3. Think people forget this based on the win against the filth. I’m willing to give it more than 70 minutes before writing it off. I’d imagine the diamond at home and 4-3-3 away for the foreseeable. Exactly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a manager, whether it be right or wrong, who is trying different formations and everyone is still moaning. It’s laughable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,424 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Very offensive and direct line up hence why Jack and candies miss out. Jack's played a lot of games so perhaps a rest for this game is a smart choice. Let's see how this line up does but got a feeling we could give them a tanking.

It’s laughable Different having a plan B when you are losing games, and changing a winning team/ formation. Saying that, it's better to do it at home against St Mirren and have our best squad for away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want the best from Defoe and Davis they need game time. If they can’t get it at home to St Mirren then might as well chuck it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,394 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I don't mind that team against St Mirren at Ibrox. Plenty of attacking options to break them down. This should always have been the game to get Defoe and Davis into the team. Not that Killie away game. It gives Jack a rest but would have preferred Candeias in for Arfield if I'm honest. A few early goals would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhrfc 2,242 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Team should have more than enough. If it is not going to plan at HT I hope we make changes on 45 rather than 75. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 It's becoming a bit like an old Woolies pic'n'mix (for those of you old enough to remember this). Let's try this......yeugh didn't work...…...so lets make a selection we are more confident will work and hey presto it works...…...then......lets try this different selection and yeught it didn't work ……...then...…...lets go back to a selection we know works better and hey presto again it works again...…….and so on. It's up to SG of course. He clearly thinks the players can eventually get the hang of the formations he wants to play. We'll see how this pic'n'mix selection goes today. 3 points required though regardless of however many adjustments he makes to the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG seems to be resting Jack and Candeias and giving Defoe and Davis match fitness. It is an attacking formation at home against a team who will sit back for 90 mins. Using the same formation and starting 11 every game would make it easy for opposition teams to set themselves up against us and our players would get burnt out/injured. I'm happy with the line-up and think we will score 4 or more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
