It annoyed me because we were not winning and I wanted him to focus on football, that's why. Maybe you understand better now ? Maybe because your french it's confusing some on here.......

ayrshireranger 8,056 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Some players look leggy and predictable, need to start using the squad, and see more of Itten, Zungu for starters. Also would love to see how Helander and Balogun would fare as a back two. The cup game would be a good opportunity to rest a few to the bench at least and give some a game.

LegendofCoop 17,273 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The lack of shots bothers me more than it should Today, Davis got into so many good situations where a shot was on and he passed it sideways or turned and tried to set up someone else. Why are we not shooting more? Goldson as well, 3 or 4 times in the second half he had taken it for a wee run and was 25 yards out....no pass on....just leather it!

I wonder if the St Mirren cup game put Gerrard off rotation a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR3 12,679 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Cant believe I’m saying this but I’d put Barker in instead of Kent next game to give him a reset as he looks out of ideas or not himself. Potentially Itten for Aribo and play Hagi in Aribo’s position since Hagi shouldn’t be the one dropped and actually takes a shot from outside the box. Pretty sure if there was a game to try something fresh it would be Ross County at home but we need everyone stepping up at Easter Road Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,225 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I only watched the first half but it reminded me so much of January on last season; a team who stopped high pressing, stood off the opposition, gave up on fast passing, became so slow in build up and had one predictable tactic getting the ball wide to cross into the packed defence for them to clear. Again like last couple of seasons dropping points to the bottom team. The warnings have been coming like the way the team went into walking football mode against the sheep and Killie before that. Complacency or laziness or tiredness? Cannot blame Dubai this time. It appears we payed better second half reading the stats so I guess the players started to look interested unlike the opening 45.

It has felt like that in the last two Motherwell games to be honest. First one nearly caused a nuclear meltdown. Yesterday was calmer, but only because the filth are in disarray. December - January was always going to be very tough to take maximum points. Just disappointing we’ve dropped them at the easiest venue. Could really use some extra drive in the middle of the park. Really need Jack and Arfield back. And genuine competition for Kent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 After Zungu came on for a wee cameo when he first arrived I was quite hopeful he would do a job for us. As time goes on unfortunately I'm seeing less and less justification for signing this lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
