Would like to see a front pairing of Colak and Morelos as well but I don't think we ever will under Gio. He said that 3 or 4 weeks ago mate. Or do you think we should just continue as is with 0 goals for and 11 against? Edit: sorry I just saw you want Morelos & Colak also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,927 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I don’t actually think I can fault him tonight! The starting 11 was sound! He went for it at 1-0 down which I would want him to do! Doesn’t change my opinion on him as a whole however, he should be gone!

Really like Gio as a person but sadly I don’t think we’ll progress under him despite reaching the EL final last year. Have you met him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRab 3,411 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Team was “up for it”. But that’s the bear minimum. First champions league home tie for most. We’re not moving forward as a club. This isn’t a squad that’s building, developing a play style, blooding in young talent and upgrading in weak areas. We spunked what little money we had on 2 guys who are nowhere near the starting team. Our midfield peaked in 2012. No disrespect to them I thought they did themselves proud tonight.

As a manager you need to be able to change things. If you can't or won't then you're not lasting very long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crabbit247 805 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm old school and I have wanted to see 4 4 2 for ages. Our squad looks like we want to set up that way. Somebody said above we have the bodies. I'd love to see us start a league game, Saturday would do, with defenders having to face up to Colak and Morelos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 32,603 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I see Balogun played 90 minutes tonight in a 0-2 away win. It didn't take him long to get fit yet Gio says Davies isn't ready. I say bull shit!! The Archer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something isn't working, change it! Got to agree here! There’s far too many “philosophy junkies” in management! Walter Smith was an excellent example where by he would play Boyd week in, week out in the league but very rarely in big games! Exactly how Colak should be played, if we have the service he scores a barrel load, games like tonight should always be for an Alfie style player! Time will tell if Gio has finally worked that out or if tonight was just bringing Alfie back in for the sake of it! bluenoz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar/Davies don’t give that reliability, they may both be better defenders but if they’re not there week in week out what’s the point? real boydie9, VladimirWeiss69, bluenoz and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1994 4,539 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Personally can't fault him for tonight but one thing I've picked up upon during the last three games and something which I think is really important in football is playing in to the midfield, there's a massive lack of us playing into midfield and getting turned and opening up the park. Now I'm not sure if this a personnel issue, a tactical issue or a bit of both but I think it's clear to see. Malkytfp1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 37,686 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Set us up correctly, but it’s recruitment and a lack of quality that’s killing us right now. Our weakest area is midfield, and our best CM is playing RCB. Jelavic191 and SeparateEntityMyArse 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 19,712 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Was right up for this. Found a cracking Rangers bar in Florida and must have been about 100 of us. Night fucked noo. Telling the weans were no going to the park and Pluto is a bawbag. Cheers Rangers. Showed them too much respect. Played with the shackles on. Hopefully see no more posts telling me how good James Sands is when he doesn't make a cunt of things. Also Kamara rhymes with useless cunt.

graeme_4 37,686 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 What’s the deal with Ben Davies, been sitting on the bench for an age when it’s clear Sands isn’t good enough. We’re throwing a teenager in King in ahead of him on a regular basis. Mental for a guy that cost us £4m. Ridvan not getting a look in is absolutely bizarre as well.

We got possession back, played across the back 4 then punted the ball up the park 60 yards and turned over possession. Unreal. We were like a Scottish side.
