Nothing more nothing less. Motherwell didn't get lucky, they got one chance and took it, we had umpteen and didn't. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunglasses Ron 2,455 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 By christ what a depressing second half performance. Too many strolling about in the second half thinking it was job done in the first. Reverted to the aimless crossing into the box that has failed time and time and time again.

"At least" "At least we're still top" "At least we didn't lose" "At least Celtic got beat" Fucking pathetic from sections of our support. Far too many years of accepting dross and forgetting who the fuck we are despite winning 55. Pathetic. This, we didn't gain a point we lost two. rabc10000, Bristol loyal and GA1972 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our system should be one sitting mid with two midfielders either side playing box to box. It's so unbalanced. When Aribo plays that role he is the only one of the 3 that plays box to box and offers something. Imagine someone on the other side doing the same? Would be hard to defend against.

shaka 1,669 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 18 minutes ago, STEPPS BOY said: Good first half played some nice stuff but you just knew that they were scoring at some point as defence looked a mess. The midfield set up is an absolute disgrace. We get pegged back and what does Gerrard do, takes off 2 strikers and puts Morelos on and another midfielder on to play on wing. He’s so fucking negative it’s unreal just now. Just as bizarre was taking off Davis and bringing on Arfield.... we needed some creativity and a change in formation. The best move to make would've been to take off Davis for Bacuna and Wright for Morelos. More forwards on the pitch would've made more sense than bringing on a rapidly declining Arfield. Should really have made some changes around the hour mark when it was clear things weren't working for us in the second half but proactive subs never seem to happen right now. delparlane 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top class management there. To be fair, its not the first time he has talked up a player, or had him in the pre match press conference and then not start, or even bring him on for the game. Seems to be his management style. GaryMc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got lucky to get that chance. Yes, our finishing was wasteful but the reaction on here is bizarre. I’ve seen us play much worse and get a result off deflected goals etc and everyone goes home happy. It is a long season and we will drop more points. Hopefully so will other teams too. The reaction today is akin to the Livi match last year but I think we played glade better today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftpegcoopz11 4,671 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Bassey should be starting instead of Barisic also. Can't beat a man, either swings in a shite cross, hits the first defender or plays that wee side foot pass into the box when it is loaded and our players have back to goal.

BigDak 786 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 25 minutes ago, RDB14 said: Have calmed down a bit now, the last 15 minutes were frustrating as fuck. Wright isn't good enough for our matchday squad right now imo and the jury is out on Sakala. Our defence was weak as fuck for their goal, reminded me a bit of the goals we would concede pre-Gerrard. The positives from today are that Bacuna actually looked like a not bad player when he came on. Also, if someone had told me we would be 4 points clear of them after 6 games before the season then I would be happy with that. The frustrating thing is we should be at least 6 points clear. Anyway, they are 1 or 2 losses away from completely collapsing again. We just need to close out games better and they will fall away. Today very disappointing but I would much rather be in our position than theirs. This is probably the best way to look at today. While not trying to paper over obvious cracks, maybe a bit of perspective is required just now. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only ever our last sub that we put on in these games where suddenly we get this burst of intensity and throw the kitchen sink at teams. shaka 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
