Popular Post The Ibrox Derry 9,026 Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 Still early days, but only a few weeks ago, we gave a performance of Murtyesque and Perdroism proportions, and the players looked absolutely done and finished. But here we are, only a short time later, and looking in pretty decent shape. Four straight league wins v Dundee (Home) Hibs, Hearts and Livingston (All Away) A Home win v Sparta Prague and a point in Lyon, ensuring Europa League knockout football in 2022. Maybe the BIG DIFFERENCE is not so much in GvB arriving, but more in SG leaving???? baxters11, richles1872, magic8ball and 14 others 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bluenoz 31,286 Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 We have made the field wider by playing wingers. Kent - Morelos - Sakala is our Liverpool version of a great front 3 Aribo as a 10 rather than a wide player is a massive difference. Creating more scoring opportunities from midfield. graeme_4, demise, CoopsLaud and 9 others 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taken with the way we passed the ball around at Lyon, one touch stuff was pleasing on the eye, I reckon that we have won a watch with Gio.

Popular Post andyhrfc 2,242 Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 I think Gio is an updrade. Slight tweaks in formation and tactics, but the biggest change is in attitude, application and belief. Watching Villa yesterday was much like watching the last few Gerrard matches at Ibrox.

Jamesy1872 421 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 A manager who doesn’t only play 433 and be predictable, doesn’t slow things down by playing Kamara and Davis together all the time and keeping the zero.

Supersonic 4,658 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Think Tav alluded or said to the Athletic (fucked if I can remember) that Gerrard and co were a bit aloof this season and the training sessions and prematch talks had lost their zip. They're probably simply enjoying training / playing again. At least it looks that way so far. kanjo and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KingKirk 25,812 Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 Everyone after 55 had lost a bit of zip let's be honest fans included. Everyone needed a reset we have that now so we now kick on hopefully. I don't think it was meant but everyone in our club underestimated the effects of that title. The management team included btw I have no doubt they wanted to bring more sucess but just lost a bit of hunger for it Paisley Blue Loyal, bluenose48, One Jock Wallace and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,441 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We've got a manager in place with fresh ideas. One who's not afraid to tweak tactics and plays to his players strengths instead of trying to shoehorn them into a system.
