Literally nobody was saying 'keep the zero' to mock him when he first arrived. That didn't come until this season. bluenose48 and ready1873 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the odd performance in Europe he's been lacklustre. Sick of his heavy touches, trying to beat defenders before they're anywhere near him then tripping over the ball and skying it from the edge of the box. Frustrating as fuck cos he does have the ability. The Archer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,752 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 "Keep the zero" was fine but when you couldn't practice what you preached then it was always going to be lobbed back at you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madina 3,871 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Dont get the people who said the whole appointment of Gio/backroom staff gave them no confidence. On paper it was a superb appointment, Gio one of the best players of his era, Roy one of the greatest stickers of the 00's, Vos who had been successful with the Ajax youths.

Gerrard built 55 on a record breaking defence. Beale has spoken about how important it is to the team that Goldson and Davies have formed a partnership. It's an absolute must in a successful team Gerrards league winning team were the highest scorers for the last 6 seasons. Gerrard didn't build his teams on defence and his priority was never keeping a clean sheet. He built his teams on controlling games, which led to us scoring a lot of goals and conceding few. Gio got criticised because he used the keep-the-zero mantra to play turgid defensive football which struggled to break down the opposition. The worst thing of all is we conceded fucking loads of goals. Last season we conceded more goals than any since our first season back in the SPFL and I wouldn't be surprised if 2022 was the year we've conceded the most goals in our recent history in all comps. To go into games against the likes of Dundee and Ross County talking about "Keeping the zero" and setting up with a defensive-minded team was stupid. Having a good defence does not mean setting up defensively. celtic play very attacking football and are about to break the most goals scored in a season, but also have conceded the least.

Lennon’s team scored 3 less goals the season before when Covid stopped. We conceded 50 goals in the 17/18 season so you were wrong. In the 25 league games he conceded 18, compared to 13 in 13 under Gerrard, so he improved us defensively last season. Scored 19 goals in 6 games against Dundee and Ross County. Real defensive that.
