He is an English player who wants his big move down to the league he watched as a boy and supports he has a slight arrogance to our league up here and i don't know why because he can be a fucking bomb scare at times. Think its time we try and offload every single one of Gerrards signings and bring in Gios vision and put the trust in him to get it right its the only way. I have always had my doubts about Tav. Never one of these fans who slaughter him week in week out but i do not trust his mind set when it comes to winning i think he is a total bottle merchant. His presser the other day he looked defeated and had a cant be arsed aura about him. Pretty good with reading players body languages he had no hunger in his eyes or the way he was talking about the game. Sure some people will be outraged with my guessing of someone's mindset but surely some will agree with me or get the point i am trying to make. Think its time for a lot of our players to go and build a brand new team from scratch in the summer. We keep hearing that Goldson hasn't been offered a contract. The truth will unfurl soon hopefully.

That interview after the cup game really fucking annoyed me and have a total dislike to him now (not that he cares). HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoGeo7 10,520 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If this were football manager you’d boot Barisic, Tav, goldson, kamara and Kent down to the reserves, give Jack the captaincy and Arfield vice captain and play: McCrorie, zukowski, king, balogun, Bassey, jack, Arfield, Ramsey, Diallo, Sakala and Morelos This however isn’t football manager so Gio has to carefully manage the players as it seems they are quite fragile. Long term they need to go but we need to get what we can from them now and try to get back on track. Dont pay attention to their games, just focus on our own. Focus on defensive positioning, passing, transitions, set pieces and shooting. kelvd1873, HG5 and Blue Viking 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 You woukd have thougj playing under Dick Advocaat would instill his ways. Wee Dick would have went aff his nut on the side of the park and dressing roo.. Gio doesnt fill my with confidence tbh, i thought his talking would have been done in the park. 1 bad result away from the boos coming down from the stands at Ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woeful performances for Barca and Bayern and was hardly ever off the bench for both of them. Another Gerrard gem of a signing . You are needing to use google.

Very rarely missed a Barca game in over a decade , the guy was one of 3 major expensive flops at the club and was hated by the fans. Was the same at Bayern , who couldnt wait to send him back. The same will happen at Villa , thats why they have him on loan as well. No need for google , I seen every 20-30 minutes he got when he played for Barca.

We have not played well in the last 3 away games so fwiw I think it’s time to change it up. Here comes some optimism… we have a spine of a team returning from injury/internationals… 14 wins from 14 wins us the league. I would drop mcgregor for mcglaughlin, 6 goals in 2 games and the manner of the goals simply isn’t good enough no matter who you are. barasic 🤦🏼♂️- put bassey at LB Goldson - honestly this guys head is gone. His contact situation is fucking with his head and it’s costing us goals/points. If he doesn’t sign the contract asap and helander is fit play him beside balogun. let Goldson sit on the bench until he leaves. tav - 50/50 on him only because I’ve never seen the new polish RB Play, he’s never a captain though. Kamara needs a break imo, straight swap for Jack (who I would make captain) arfield or ramsay depending on his fitness aribo RW Sakala CF morelos LW kent dropped for roofe. Kent also needs some bench time. the team doesn’t defend well with the current players, hopefully Gio alters his tactics to actually go for teams before it becomes too late. That line up is so bad no thought on shape or tactics just 11 guys flung together Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs it’s easy to play when you are 3 down and the opponent drops their intensity however I agree Jack has to start at weekend and Bassey at left back although I still think he is a bit of a bombscare but less so than Barasic who looks like a old man it’s like his legs have gone ! I would start Ramsay and play Aribo further forward with Morelos and Kent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other was from a ‘Gio van tactics man’ on Twitter - reckoning 3 of last years squad were promised moves by Gerrard, which were either later refused or no bids came in. Which may account for some obvious (or less in some cases) lack of motivation / focus - which lots on here have called out against certain individuals on plenty of occasions.

HG5 11,113 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 One simple change is for players to stop shuffling the ball out to the flanks, from positions 25 yards out, in front of the goals. Drive at the box, let fly from these positions - who knows what might happen! The way we’re going at the moment is so ponderous, training ground, playbook by numbers, it’s no wonder opponents get back to cover. andyhrfc, BlueAvenger, Hadron Collider and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fully 100% behind him, That could change possibly but if he gets a reaction on Sunday that will certainly help the rest of the fan base who are pissed off with him haha. Time for a massive change this summer and finally say goodbye to a lot of these players we have been stuck with in what seems forever.
