Right now, that is the biggest difference between us and the scum. Lennon throws everything forward and looks to outscore the opponents. He's always done that. During his first spell in charge of celtic he has Izaguirre looking like Roberto Carlos. Both their full-backs were just bombing forward constantly. All that attacking, combined with a superior playing squad, will allow them to outscore and overcome most of the SPFL games they play. His team is far more direct than it was under Rodgers. But, they'll be weaker defensivley because of it and hopefully it costs them points over the course of the season. Their defense now is the weakest is has been in many years.

I can see progress year on year but at times can see the inexperience from the management resulting in still dropping silly points. Mentality and game management still suspect for me.

But the way we play (all patient and pretty) gives them time to brace themselves and ride it out before pushing for an equaliser which our officials are only too happy to facilitate. If there is one thing I would change in our team it would be to re-install a killer instinct. When we go 2-1 up, we should thinking “at least 4-1 or 5–1” not worrying about hanging on. Right now, that is the biggest difference between us and the scum. I am not convinced we play a style of play that lets teams back in, the general style creates openings that should lead to 4 or 5-1 wins. it isn't that over the top to say we could have scored about 15 goals over the course of two of our most recent visits to Easter Road, yesterday and Christmas last year. We haven't just sat in during either and let them back in, we have wasted load of chances to let that happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,287 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It's a swayed post to create negativity when there is no mention of how many we actually lost. Not to mention some terrible decisions at Pittodrie and yesterday for example. The two Hearts games were Gerrard's lowest points in his time here.

I get that mate. I just think in recent seasons the dropped points have been few and far between to enable them to win the title. Previous league winning managers for us have shipped more points than we will be able to get away with to win titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggled to find a manager before has that now changed? If it has changed isn't that down to the stability, improvement in the playing squad, and European results Gerrard has brought us? Just when we've closed the gap in squad quality and the two Old Firm teams look as even as they have done in about a decade we've to can the manager and start all over again. Bizarre.
