There is no cunt in our game will send a team out half arsed. They all want a crack at the big two.. i genuinely felt watching a bit of them today that they're no as good as they were last year. Rodgers will have a bit of his confidence shattered as well and I think some of their player have had their head turned. Let's see how their squad would cope with a similar injury record to ours last season. All of a sudden their big centre half is getting niggles and their midfield. If we can get our shit together then they are there to take a free hit at. Bad Robot, ForeverAndEver, ayrshireranger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a right go and were the better team. The tarriers got lucky with some mongo individual moments but they don't look half as effective as they did last season. They're nowhere near as good as they were last year, Rodgers has fucked off their best midfielder, Jota was their most inspirational player, Starfelt as much as I never rated him never lost a single game alongside Carter-Vickers in the league so whoever they replace him with can't better that, can only match it which is unlikely. Taylor was decent as an inverted FB but as a straight up normal LB he's the same shite he was before Ange converted him, their keeper is way past his best too, the Tim's are still hoping they'll spend about £15-20m on 3 first team players, tells you how far off it they are.

rossco87 796 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 End of the day they won but they were certainly in a game, and were second best, for most of it. They are probably “bedding in” same as us, however our manager has signed / decided to keep the majority of his squad and they are getting to know each other; while Rodgers is working with the majority of someone else’s (who had had success with them) and trying to change how they play. Difference is we put in a horrific performance against Killie, made one defensive error and got punished for it; they were gifting Aberdeen chances and kept getting away with it. Might be a different story when they start coming up against teams setting up to contain them and hit them on the counter if they are still performing so poorly. After the OF they have to play Livingston, Kilmarnock and Motherwell in three of their next four games, crucial we at the very least draw the OF game and keep piling pressure on them. ayrshireranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 32,398 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 the Kilmarnock result was a disaster, but from what I have seen so far, we are better than them. Beat them on the 3rd and they will turn on Rogers. Guaranteed. They are picking up injuries to key players. scottyscott1963, ayrshireranger and J-Maestro 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose244 2,652 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Points will be dropped this year, this 99 points for them last year and 102 for us the 55 season are anomalies and ceiling max events.

superallysbears 8,189 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I think when you see the lead PR mouth coming out with "they got away with one" then you know it's close to erupting, the cup game at Kille could be massive and if "the treble" ends up laying stone cold dead on the plastic, Guy Fawkes will be making an early appearance in the car park.

They cunts seem to win when they aren’t playing well where as we struggle to get results when not at our best as the Kilmarnock game showed. Hopefully that’ll change though as time goes on as I honestly believe they have regressed since last year. If they’ve regressed enough and we’ve improved enough to overtake them then only time will tell. Call it delusional if you want. 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not hitting 100 points and winning trebles non stop without being good. I agree I don’t think it is luck, but don’t know what to call it. We were pish against Kilmarnock but only really gave up 1 real chance and we were punished for it. They created far more yesterday than we did against Kilmarnock in the second half, but we’re gifted their second and also gave up far more chances and only conceded once, on the balance of play they should have been going in at half time level or even behind. The difference from my perspective is that we need to kill games off quicker and stop gifting chances to the opposition (I actually believe the two are linked as the defence is going to be far more confident and relaxed if we are 2 or 3 up, don’t think it is a coincidence that the majority of our defensive fuck ups happen late on in games when we are holding out). They seem to be out of sorts at the back and giving teams space to punish them. Out of the two at the moment I know which I would rather be trying to fix… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
