Stewart came on at 90 minutes which was an absolute joke of a sub. Barker looked dead on his feet also and another one who should have been subbed. Yes we were 2-0 and comfortable but like seasons before I just don’t think SG uses his subs right, at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the situation is still at the stage Gerrard hasn’t forgiven the buff just leave him out the squad again, don’t have him sitting on the bench with absolutely no intentions of bringing him on when roofe should have been been hooked, absolutely pointless for the squad and the support Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you know what Gerrard would have done at nil nil at say 70 or 80 minutes then you've no basis to say he'd no intention of playing him. Roofe needs minutes to get back to full fitness. Theres logic in giving him the minutes more than any other player given the game was won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an interesting international break... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofe was poor the buff should been on end of story , if Defoe had been on the bench roofe been aff after 65, if the buff performed like roofe he’d been off after 65, yesterday’s proceedings were all geared round Gerrard pissing the buff off when I’d much rather he’d use better man management skills to get him back to being our best player again, if that’s far to far gon leave him out the squad , no point in us saying during game get the buff on when there’s no chance it’s happening , if roofe was playing well fine but he clearly wasn’t and Gerrard used another he can’t stick in Greig Stuart as part of the charade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion only but like every other sub Morelos was there to be called upon if required or if it suited circumstances to play him.

GOAT 30,449 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Thought we were brilliant first half, should have been more than 2-0. Second half we were alright. I think we’d have scored a third it would have been 5 or 6. special shout out to Jon McLaughlin for that save. Outstanding reflexes. I still think mcgregor is our undisputed number 1 but saves like that when he’s had fuck all to do for 80 minutes or whatever it was could change my mind.

Results and clean sheets have been very good on the whole, but still too many passengers and issues throughout the side that concern me. The way this team have been from the beginning is that we won't make it to the game against them without dropping more points along the road. We're still doing this thing from January onwards of having either a shite first half good second or vice versa, it needs to change quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My only criticism is Gerrards subs. The games went a bit stale and he waits to 81 minutes to change it and brings on arfield ffs. 60/65 minutes two fresh faces should have been brought on imo.

I don't think it was to make a cunt out of him but it was to show him who's boss and I think it was the right call. If Morelos magically stays (I hope he does), Gerrard needed to show him that his petulant behaviour is unacceptable and he can't just get back into the team if he fucks up. My opinion is that it was the right call to keep Roofe on as he needed the mins and the game was won, it'll benefit us in due course if we can continue to get the mins into his legs ASAP.

gogzy 31,195 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Plenty players in the past have been given a lesson and made to sit on the bench and watch others play in their position. I think that Gerrard was right to leave him on the bench for the full game. It was a message to him that he isn't bigger than the team and we can win without him. IF he isn't sold now he will know that he either needs to buck up or be left out of the squad. no player wants to be left on the bench, how he reacts to this will be very telling.
