The confidence in Michael Beale

[Jelavic18 644]

Some comments from Beale;

"I expect us with the quality we have to execute in the moments we had. If we don't, I expect a hard-fought away draw rather than coughing up a really poor goal."

 

What fucking moments, don't think their keeper made a save 😂.  Going on to say he expects a hard thought draw is criminal.  Should be saying it like it is, absolute shite tactics/player selection and he will change it.

Got it badly wrong today

We’ve had a terrible pre season and I know folk want to brush it off as we’re just trying to get fitness etc

We hardly looked like scoring in preseason and it continued today - Lammers was lost today

I have absolutely no idea why Cantwell never started, the myth he’s held back for a Wednesday won’t cut it when we have domestic games to win

If we don’t start well on Wednesday he and the team will know all about it

[SeparateEntityMyArse 54,365]

One of the worst performances I've seen.

He'll be gone by Halloween if he can't pick a sensible starting 11, decent tactics, and get them grafting as if they want to win a game of football.

His future hangs on what happens here and now.

[RossS1873 1,787]

One thing I noticed is we've played the diamond the whole preseason, then in the first game proceed to play the most basic 4231 with absolutely no width whatsoever. No attacking from the fullbacks, barely any attempts to run at defenders and like for like subs. Totally baffling

Fucking called it "that's on me" fucking duffer

Boyds a cunt

[the goal machine 7,824]

Any confidence I had in him fucking plummeted watching that shite and his new signings. 

[esquire8 43,706]

Realism in the air?

Realised you fucked it?

[Malkytfp1 18,799]

Our pre season choices were another shit show. We should have been preparing the new signings against teams like Kilmarnock where we would have a lot of the ball and try to break them down. 

[RoboBearToo 403]

I've tried to hold back on my opinion of Beale, because I didn't like the way he rocked up at Ibrox when Geo was under pressure.

But I think it's time to say it, he's a fucking gobshite.

Why? The fanbase had wrote off the season, the title and europe were gone, sure we had the cups but look how they went under beale

Gio would still have finished second, and we could have spent a few months sounding out a manager, instead we perhaps panicked and it might just bite us on the arse

Because the atmosphere was already toxic and it would only have got worse if Gio had stayed in his position. Beale might not prove to be the answer, but Gio had to go. It was already weeks overdue when we did it.

I missed that bit. Did he fucking say that?

[JWAC 2,273]

Can anyone say we've seen any good play in any of the pre-season games?

I can't remember much if any, we can keep saying we've lots of new players but I don't think we look like we are coached well.

Gio was a far superior manager 

I said it

Today wasn't a 4231, it was the boggin 433 with 3 sitting mids to cover attacking fullbacks pish that we watched win one trophy in 3 years under him previously

"we had the lions share of possession"

Aye fucking Souttar Lundstram and Goldson passing sideways you fucking ignorant, spineless cunt.

He's just another loser in a long line of them. Another one who set us back years

wit??

[KingKirk 25,863]

I think /hope beale brings us success however if he's sacked we know as a fan base the replacement will be another up and coming project. Our last 3 managers have been 2 novices and a manager that was the easy option at the time . If he goes the next man needs to be of some managerial pedigree.

I've never been a fan as most on the forum would know.

Quite surprised at the reaction though and how many people are calling for him to be sacked on here, FF, Twitter and some of the group chats I'm in.

He's in danger of losing the majority of the support over the next couple of weeks if things don't improve.

I’m hesitant about being too reactionary as it’s definitely not impossible to come back from this and succeed - Postecoglou won the league having lost on the opening day to Hearts and then to us (with half our team missing).

However, he was helped massively by Gerrard leaving, Gio having no clue how to set up domestically and us being distracted by the EL. I doubt Beale will get a similar set of circumstances, unless Rodgers’ tactics start being exploited in a way Postecoglou’s weren’t.

OF game suddenly becomes a lot more pressurised now, he can possibly be forgiven for struggling in Europe (like Postecoglou did when he first came in) but if he’s still struggling domestically then it’s going to be very difficult for him.

Can’t see this formation working. Is there any team in Europe that is a title challenger that plays with no wide forwards?

We look incredibly easy to defend against. Just pack the middle of the park. 0 space

I was trying to think of one during the game funnily enough.

You could maybe say Liverpool but there can’t be many.

Realism in the air is what will get him fucking sacked. Very soon unless he sorts his shit out.

I won’t go as far as to call for his head yet, filth fans were doing the same thing when they got beat off Hearts on the opening day a couple of years back and look how that turned out, but it was vital that we went into the first OF game level on points with them and he’s absolutely fucked it on literal day one and has us on the backfoot already.

If a win on September 3rd cannot put us level with them the atmosphere will be just as toxic dont kid yourself

[GA1972 9,849]

Just sack him now before it’s too late
