mclovin9091 1,388 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Don;'t normally watch any of thier games but i'm bored and half cut, yet still can't understand. Why does pretty much every team we play in Scotalnd sit in with 10 behind the ball for most of the match yet playing against the scum they play a normal game? Surely to fuck the "champions" would pose more threat that a team that hasn't won/been handed the league??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 70,940 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Because it’s easier to do it against us and it’s the best chance of getting a result. Fairly simple. We’re always told that to beat them you need to get in their faces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley Bluenose 4,478 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Easier to destroy than it is to create and they know that we struggle to break it down. Fortunately we got the job done today and deservedly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclovin9091 1,388 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Surely to fuck though. They must expect to get beat everytime they play us and the scum, yes getting the od point here and there is a possibility but look at hamilton, they came out and played and got hammered, whcih they would do against us if they were to do the same. Do they really think they are more likely to take 3 points from the scum than against us? Clearly a compliment i suppose but realistically last season we struggled against the sheep and kilmarnock.

Born Sinner 298 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It’s shocking every single one of them look like the exact same team. Can’t tell any of them apart. They don’t even have a danger man anymore like they at least used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1387 57 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It’s just a style of play teams know if they sit in they can hurt us on counters or set pieces. I think the same can be said when playing against them but teams are more likely to get a result getting in their faces and unsettling them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin9091 1,388 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 But they don't even play counter attacking football...unless they are doing it in slow mo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBagalag 712 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If teams want to park the bus against us that’s their prerogative to do so. What really fucks me off is if we score they still refuse to come out of that shape. Could be 89th minute and they still live in hope that a set piece etc might steal them a point.

It will always be the game plan they are playing for a point. If we want a good goal difference then we need to go 2-0 up before these teams come out and try to get something against us.

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Because they watch our games and know we struggle to deal with it, and it’s their best chance of getting a point in a game they would otherwise expect to lose. If they sat back like that and invited pressure against the scum they would get torn apart. Thought today was much better with our directness and movement, if we keep doing that and get a bit more clinical in front of goal well soon see teams changing their style against us.

That's the thing, once we start breaking teams down and this 10 men behind the ball stops working, they'll need to change tactics and we'll really start to batter teams. It's brutal to watch. I guess it isn't as bad as watching some of Walters games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to european games i take it? The difference though, was that more often than not we got a result, we weren't trying to get beat 1-0.

It's just the same until the full time whistle goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The same reason we played 4-5-1 in nearly all our big European games under Walter in his second spell against the likes of Lyon, Barcelona, Fiorentina, Man Utd, Valencia.

McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 In fact did we not play 5-4-1 against Valencia at home? I seem to remember Papac playing as a left centre back in one of those games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
