Drunk and disorderly. 14,558 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Stevie is obviously happy to get the points. We all are, but we were mediocre at home against a team who can't score. I truly hope individual players step up in oncoming games. I honestly couldn't pick a motm because our whole team was average. We looked rusty and need to step up a gear or 72927. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCutch 4,340 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 We need consistency. We need to learn how to turn tight games from draws into wins. We need to be able to win when teams have no interest in attacking. We need to stop conceding stupid goals. We need to be able to win more than 3 or 4 games in a row. All of the above were said (rightly) on many occasions last season as to why we didn't end up closer to the tims at the end. P- 20 W- 17 D- 2 L- 1 For- 54 Against- 11 Think we have ticked all the boxes so far. Another 3pts and we move onto Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 points are all that matters ..... what is so difficult to understand about that? ...... it's hard to watch at times .... I agree ..... but when they park the whole fleet of busses between the 18 yard line and the 6 yard line .... you take what you can get .... in this case we won a watch and took home the 3 points ..... not hard to understand really ........ I'm as happy as pig in shite .... so far .... and if Carlsberg did Decembers and Januaries like these all the time .....I have no need to grumble.

bluenoz 31,060 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If teams are going to park the bus, then that is when long-range shooting becomes effective. We have been brutal in that department for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been brutal in that department for years. Had nobody of any note in that department since Mendes, and the Hammer before him. It's a bit infuriating that we are managed by one of the best of all time at it aswell. Some might say it's becoming a lost art in many ways. Sadly....

The 1 goal slogs against Killie and St. Mirren earn you the same points as the 5 goal victories over the sheep and the Edinburgh clubs we have had this season. There will need to be a few more of these kind of victories aswell if we are getting 55 this season, so folk better get strapped in for the ride.

St Mirren didn’t have a single shot on target and created 1 half chance. We weren’t clinical enough but all about the 3 points; particularly with 2 of our most important players missing. Three points , one goal scored another clean sheet and no injuries to any of our key players I will take that every game please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct mate I actually have a bad feeling about the hearts game but I hope to fuck I am wrong. So I would take last night's performance and scoreline in a heartbeat we need to keep winning we can't be first to drop points between us and the scum we just can't be.

We are never happy. We won and if we win every game we have left this season then we win the league. 10 men behind the ball is always hard to be break down and it’s not pretty to watch but we got that vital goal and with it 3 points. We missed Alfie and Tav tonight but we got there and that’s all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seriously lack the ability to kill off far lesser teams, especially in games where we dominate. In our last 7 home games against St Mirren we've scored 18 and conceded 2. That's the equivalent to us scoring 5 goals every 2 games and them scoring 1 goal every 9 games. We do kill them off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribo was our best player tonight by far. Aribo thoroughly deserves his motm, he played with real tenacity and determination but I did comment that he looked to be tiring just before the substitution. Think Ojo’s application was more positive than of late when he came on last night and that would have been some goal had the keeper not turned it round their post...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 An old adage but Champions pick up 3 points even when playing badly. I suspect that Gerrard did not want to criticise the players in public so talked about the clean sheet. On to Tynecastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcoholic 1,348 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 5 - 4 - 1 is always going to be tough to play against. I watched them play last night for a wee while, whereas I'm usually concentrating on what we're doing, and they were solid, well organised and well dug in although they were seldom over the half way line. We spent the entire night trying to unlock that defence and it pisses me off that we don't hit more shots from outside the box Who was it said "Sometimes you just have to win ugly"? This time last year we would have lost that game or drawn it at best. 3 points, see ya in Edinburgh on Sunday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
