Popular Post plymouthranger 3,888 Posted February 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 They have 4/5 players in their squad who are popping up with crucial goals late in tight games. We are so reliant on Morelos and when he’s not at it in the league, the likes of Roofe, Kent, Aribo, Sakala aren’t getting those game winning goals. Means fuck all scoring the 5th vs Hearts when you don’t do it in the tight games. DiamondDan, demise, Swagger and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, that’s one game. Abada, Giakoumakis, Kyogo, Jota have all scored winners in 85+ minutes for them. I’m not sure any of our forwards have.

Popular Post Siam69 27,024 Posted February 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 They remind me of us last season, in that last season if we went 1 down or needed a winner in the last 10mins I wasn't overly worried, as we always seemed to get what was needed. That said, we were a much better team than they are, and you do feel luck has to run out, there has been absolutely loads of last ditch winners, and a team who aren't scared of them like what happened in Europe will beat them. 3 points is nothing is a title race with so many games left, but it's immaterial if we don't win our games first and foremost.

goaaaal 950 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Did anyone watch the full game? Reason I ask is did they have the equivalent of a brick wall for 90 odd minutes and did they equal or better our attempts on goal? We already know what we faced today in terms of opposition was like Aberdeen a few weeks ago where suddenly performances are increased in intensity but as usual disappears when it doesn't matter as much.

folkestoneger 8,208 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Another difference that doesn’t get the publicity is decisions. According to bbc Dundee could have had a penalty for handball at 3-2. Not seen this one but by fuck they have got all the luck this year in other games Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Supersonic 4,654 Posted February 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2022 Difference this season is recruitment for a start. Second is their run of form after one of their worst starts for over 2 decades. Since losing away to livi 1-0 in September, they've played 21 and only drawn 3. Won all but 1 away game since then as well. We've fucked it up royally since the break. County away was a disgrace. demise, govansw1, CR3 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,003 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I think today really contrasts it quite well unfortunately for us. Both teams have that much more of the ball that the opposition by the last 20 minutes are shattered. The real problem is they've consistently worn teams down all season because they play one way. We on the other hand have been so choppy. Gerrard seemed to move away from what we did last season and only started to get back to it weeks before he left. Gio hasn't really done it outwith a few games apart from maybe Easter Rd and the past few games including today. We need more control and patience with every game for the rest of the season! Basically we've not done enough of what we should be to give the likes of Morelos, Kent, Aribo, Sakala, Roofe etc. Those big chances later in games when it is tight.

Iakona 2,261 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 League wise - that's the 4th time this season they've turned a draw into a win in the last 5 minutes.(vs Aberdeen, Ross County, Dundee Utd, Dundee). Within the last 5 minutes of a game, we have managed to turn a draw into a win on 1 occasion(vs Hibs). They have dropped points within the last 5 minutes on 1 occasion(vs Hearts) We have dropped points in the last 5 minutes on 2 occasions(vs Hearts, Ross County) They have only came back from a losing position once(vs Dundee). However they have only went a goal down in 4 games this season. We have came back from a losing position 7 times - 5 wins(Vs St Johnstone, Hibs, St Mirren, Motherwell, Ross County) 2 draws (vs Aberdeen, Dundee Utd) - We have went a goal down in 9 games this season.I don't think we can really blame luck when you concede the first goal in 9 games out of 27... That's depressing. If anything it's kind of a miracle we are only 3 points behind... CR3, Goofy The Scot, NorthernLights and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fact we’re 3 (effectively 4 with GD) points behind them in the league, plus they’ve won a cup under a rookie manager and we’ve failed to win 1 in 4 years, it’s not that unlikely. Would be a fucking embarrassment in our 150th year, losing a 6 point lead, to a side who had about 7 first team players in summer, managed by a guy who had previously never managed in Europe.

That "may" well have been insurmountable (maybe not)...At best could have ended up a 4 point deficit, before remainder of games left. We are only 3 points behind with the same amount of games played (got them twice) and plenty left so I'll no be giving up.

Super Ally Scores Again! 475 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I’d also add they are getting some amount of decisions and we are getting none. These dubious decisions from months ago like Kyogo offside against Hearts at that stage didn’t matter but now it does. Penalty for Dundee today not given, offside goal against Aberdeen, extra time on top of extra time to beat Ross County - I could go on. Today alone on decisions it’s a 4 point swing Incredibly they still pedal refs this and refs that in our favour - Its blatantly not the case. All you need to do is watch 90mins at Ibrox to see our players carded at the 1st opportunity where as the opposition continually foul and get away with it - It’s not a level playing field I wish we would just call it out for what it is Blumhoilann and RobertN 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
