Popular Post ElBufalo20 8,173 Posted September 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2019 Team shape formation and line up all wrong. He’s done plenty right but today has to take the blame even Ojo on before Jones was a major error.

Popular Post The Godfather 76,023 Posted September 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hopefully he takes full responsibility for it and never makes moronic changes like that again in a game like that. Baffling really given the best player in Scotland who’s scoring for fun was left out. ElBufalo20, Escobar, stu90 and 17 others 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidorfc 6,694 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Team selection was baffling, coupled with some truly abysmal infidividual performances, we're lucky celtic are shite otherwise it could have been much worse.

kanjo 26,497 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Starting with no wingers and with Defoe was a terrible decision and ultimately cost us. Second half they had the initiative to dive around, defend and counter attack. Not good enough and no excuses as they weren’t that great today either. siddiqi_drinker, LiverpoolBlue and George McLean 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,450 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Goldson’s fault also, that pass was criminal, he should just have booted it up the park instead of trying to be clever.

RDB14 2,890 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Dropping Morelos and playing no natural wide men (argue if you want about Jones Vs Ojo but one of them should have played) put us on the back foot right from the start.

bluenoz 32,730 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 He gambled, he lost so I hope he admits he got it wrong and we move on.

Bluekev 47,630 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It might not have been so bad if the midfield could put a few passes together.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The most stupid team selection I’ve ever seen. For so called professional coaches to get so wrong is scandalous BILLYBOY50, greg1872 and Rovers51 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,505 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Its effectively a new backline for them with what is potentially a bombscare at LB, and we didn't go for them once its absolute stupidity. We should have flew out the traps and gave them somethig to think about but instead we sat off and let them get into a rhthym. five stars 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Beast 9,522 Posted September 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2019 No width. But we couldn't win the middle. Aribo bottled it. We couldn't find a pass. We let them win almost every 50/50. Long diagonal passes that rarely came off. No second runner into the box. Utterly shit.

theclothmonster 1,900 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Squad is a mess, no real alternative to Tavernier who's having a nightmare recently, LB problem even worse with no real first starter. The one piece of the puzzle most agreed we needed after last season(attacking midfielder) still not there. Shoehorning Arfield out wide every game because the wide players are bang average. Ojo is a dud but seems to have bulletproof vest on with Gerrard, Aribo posted missing for two biggest games of the season so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadron Collider 32,501 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gerrard has to be the one to blame here. It’s an old firm game and you must go with your strongest side.

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I'm generally not one to criticise our starting 11 as we have great strength in our squad (well I thought we did!). However I don't think many of us were happy with the starting 11. We know how to beat them. We know the formula. We know what they hate. I have no idea why we didn't do what we've done the past two games. That said very few players get an pass marks. McGregor obviously and possibly Davis. Lack of creation, shots, urgency. Gutted.

STEPPS BOY 77,865 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 His team selection and even subs were a mess but make no mistake, the issue we have is the same as last season. The lack of quality in the 3 players behind Morelos. If teams play an open game against us then we’ll have success, any team playing 10 men behind ball and we toil badly.
