Patched together my arse, the back 4 know each other inside and out and they have cantwell and raskin infront of them 6 out of 10 outfield players all have played together for 6 months or more, that's not lack of gelling that's either shite players lr shite tactics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 15,081 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Says a lot about our defence that Lundstrum was told to sit right in front of them later in the game. It worked, but we don't have a settled CB pairing. If we can see that, so will opposition managers. A solid CB who can read the game should be our priority before the window closes. Beale knows this, but time is running out, and it's really frustrating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you’re right, sack Beale and sack all the players. Who said anything about sacking beale or the players? But the idea that tav, yilmaz, lundstram, cantwell, raskin, balogun, souttar, barisic, davies all need time to gel or get beales tactics is a stretch given they've been playing under them for 6 months or in the likes of tav and barisic case 4 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,636 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think we will do quite well domestically this season but bomb out of the CL. (As things stand) Not sure I can see a team with Cantwell and Lammers at the same time unless Cantwell is in a more forward position. Team a work in progress. Some lovely forward play at times, some total defensive fuckups Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole front line isnt the major worry, the backline have been leaking shambolic goals Souttar and davies played against olympiakos midweek and while souttar hasnt done much wrong in pre season, he's still not a new player for argument sakes We know our fullbacks bomb up the park, or try to, yet we concede terrible goals that all start from out wide Does that not tell you that either the tactics are flawed or someone isnt doing their job, and that isnt the front line that's tye defensive players who have all been here long enough to know the tactics Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get Trusty in we will look much better. Barasic/Yilmaz are a problem but doubt that’ll be fixed this Summer. Todays goals were from simple mistakes, almost every goal has come from the left hand side. Where Barasic/Yilmaz have been pish, or Davies/Yfeko have made simple mistakes.

If we get trusty in and doubt the left side issue will be fixed this summer And we have CL qualifiers in less than a fortnight Someone has fucked up somewhere then if we still have a honking defence by the time we play the qualifers Its always simple mistakes and its always from out wide, imo if we dont have the players the now to fix that issue then we need to change tactics to fix that issue Shutting our eyes, playing plan A constantly hoping something happens will see us fuck something up pretty soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have 18 defenders or wave a magic wand to clear up injuries. If we’d started with Souttar and Davies today I doubt it would have been anywhere near as bad.

Well why did we spend the last month chasing and signing 4 brand new attackers (knowing full well all of them wont play at the same time) when our defence is a fucking bombscare And if we have been actively trying to get defenders in the last month, why are we wasting time still chasing them when its almost qualifier time OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
