sassaaaa 11,406 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Did we win a trophy yesterday ? Nope not for nearly 3 years now under this guy. It was a terrific win yesterday just like the one we had last year. When this squad and manager actually win trophys thats when the lot of them deserve all the praise coming their way. Some of us are cautious as fuck because we have failed so many times under this manager........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had two hugely disappointing results already this season and yesterday could've been so much better had we not made an arse of it at Livingston and Easter Road, there's obviously an improvement on this time last season as we're 1 point better off and currently unbeaten, but the same parallels still exist as well. I would hardly say drawing against an in form Hibs team was "hugely disappointing" ffs. Better teams than this have went to Easter road and came away with nothing. Playing against Livingston on that pitch is a complete lucky dip tbh, and as much as the result was pish, we just need to look at celtics results there recently and that puts our draw into perspective.

We're ahead on points compared to last season. We've scored most goals, conceded fewest, only 3 in 11 games. We're denying scoring opportunities, yesterday the scum had 0 efforts on target. Seems like those failings and tactics that are our undoing are being addressed given our stats. Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've said you have and if so then I stand corrected. I've looked for them, don't see them, its almost like they're not there but you're saying they are. Which I'm sure isn't the case so I'm asking directly which posts yesterday you made praising the manager. Which posts? Told you before the match thread.

We've beat them before with high press, high tempo, in their face and swarmed them. That was different. It was like a perfect European away tie. I've seen European sides come to Ibrox and do that to us. It was so controlled. And I loved the way we spoiled the game when we needed to. Efficient and ruthless. Loved it. Exactly, I said the exact same thing in the match thread. It was the exact same game as Galatasaray. We have perfected our European tactics and our game management has approved with experience too. This type of game suits us. Once we know how to beat the rest of the SPL consistently we will be unstoppable. We just need to win trophies so the squad believes it too.

Mate look I share the caution. There is no trophy handed out for 2 wins in a row at Parkhead. But what you need to acknowledge is that you want (or wanted, I'm not sure if yesterday has bought him more time in your view) Gerrard out, when the season is well underway, to bring in a new manager in GVB who has to win one of the most important league wins in our history with a set of players that aren't his and in a country (if we even managed to get him) he probably hasn't stepped foot in in near 20 years.

Posted previously that he simply has to win the League Cup this season for me, if its another failure in that tournament I'd have serious doubts about this teams ability of winning anything under him.

It depends on how you look at the games, we needed to win yesterday to stop them getting a massive foothold in the league, but in all honesty, even with their call offs, were the players expected to win Whereas when we went to easter road the expectation was that we'd win, probably keep the clean sheet recors going etc Thats a completely different mentality, same as last season, we needed to win at parkhead again, but we weren't expected to, whereas we were expected to go to Tynecastle and beat a terrible hearts team, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
