Swagger 8,242 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The squad does need used but supposing we win 6-0 the usual suspects come straight back in for the next game regardless. The likes of Tavernier and Goldson are never getting dropped. Sunglasses Ron 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been waiting for him to have a breakthrough moment like Barisic v St Mirren but just don’t see it happening for him. He’ll probably do well at another team but just not the right fit with us. How did we do against united last weekend when morelos led the line for the full game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowRangers1983 461 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Play our strongest team and try to take +5 off them and build some momentum. mini crisis is forming and it needs to be nipped in the bud now. You see the self belief over the city since they beat a poor team in Europe and a even worse Dundee now they believe they will challenge. Our issue is poor performances and mind set let’s get a commanding win and start building both back up and start our much needed winning run.

Never said that, i only asked how we did against united with morelos leading the line? Sometimes you need to look at whats around the player before having a go at the player, malmo away we spent the whole time itten was on trying to play through them, the minute we swap itten for sakala we start going down the sides and throwing balls into the box, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 43,161 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I want us to be absolutely relentless tonight. I dont want the foot off the gas after going 3-0 before half time. I want top gear, foot down, nonstop hammering. It's the least this team can give us after this past week. Aim for double digits and give zero remorse to the team in front of us. Send a very small message that we aren't going to bottle the cups this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
writingranger 1,425 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Time for some inventive play. Practise going through the low block as well as around it. Pull opposition defenders out of their shape with good runs, incisive passes etc. I don't know why they haven't thought of that 🤔 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s come off the bench and scored some good goals for us but we need more than that and we have still yet to really see any evidence of note that he can be more than that for us.

Sometimes it's not whether a player is better or not it's whether the team and he are on the same wave length. When alfie first came every run was offside. It takes time to gain that understanding and way of playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,032 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Dunfermline manager is Peter Grant. Another rabid one who would love nothing more than to inflict more grief on us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatcap 491 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Time for a few changes for me. I'd be playing Patterson and Bassey as both Tav and Borna have looked a bit leggy. They shouldn't at this stage of the season, but they do. Resting Kent and Morelos wouldn't be a bad idea with the importance of Thursday ahead of us. Couldn't care less who plays in midfield, we should have enough to play them off the park. Centre backs, I'd play Goldson and Helander with the hope that they perform well enough to get the slots on Thursday. NI 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
