Thermopylae 15,286 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 With timothy having such poor domestic results since their win I can't help feeling that a good few of our players still find it difficult to carry the weight of expectation at a big club that comes from being the favourite in a cunch game. I wonder though if that result will stand out like a sore thumb by the end of the season especially if as the last 2 games at Ibrox would suggest we are now really begin to find our feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guys looked a little jaded and there was no spark at all in the team. The other thing was the tactics. SG tried to flood the midfield to stop the mhanks which backfired as they sat in and parked the bus very similar to what St Mirren did.. Thankfully we seemed to have learned how to cope with this basic tactic by playing more ctossfield passes and player are far more willing to take a shot from outside the box. If we could play the tarriers 2moro even at the new camp I would gladly be emptying my betting account on a Rangers victory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 107,780 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 No even any point in worrying about that day now. We've reversed that and in some style. Gerrard won't make the same mistake again. So just enjoy going top rather than focusing on what happened over a month ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,256 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Team selection wrong, tactics very wrong, players lost individual battles.

bluenoz 30,287 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The tactics were all wrong but if Goldson doesn't make that bad pass, it is a tie at worst. For the first 15-20 minutes of the second half, we destroyed them. Towards the end, gaps opened up and they had clear opportunities. We no longer fear them.

Rlm 406 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I predicted we would get a draw against them 5 weeks ago...and that's what I thought wud be the outcome..but yes as all yous above have rightly said we just deployed strange tactics that day. That mental block we had disappeared last season with the 6 points we took off them. So this season it was a difficult result to swallow but we've never put a foot wrong since and I thought at 130pm today why even check livis score..because I just thought celtic wud win...so am checking the score tapping the the side of my phone thinking there's some mistake Livi winning 2-0. Just didn't see that at all..our lass saying what's that grin on your face...I said I thought my phone was broke lol. Yes there will be twists n turns but I feel like gerrard has said beating killie etc is just as important as beating them. Everyone seems committed to the cause.

scottyc06 6,902 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Jack, Davis, Kamara, Aribo & Arfield. That’s what cost us! 5 predominantly central midfielders, against a piss poor defence! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

don logan 8,023 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 They were shite too. It was a shite game. But their fans have reimagined it as a Galaticos style masterclass of football which is dumb founding but not surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,242 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Our tactics and squad selection that day cost us. We went with 5 midfielders and were looking to contain them. We didn't stick to the winning formula of pressing and attacking them relentlessly. Posted yesterday the lose however might turn out to be a good thing. We've turned it right round and found our best form. They are dropping points. Just need to maintain our form and press home the advantage we now have.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Gerrard fucked it with that 4-5-1 formation. No wingers, Aribo pushes out wide, tried to play ‘the block’. Showed celtic far too much respect and was punished for it. Hopefully he learns from it and it never happens again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
