The worry for me is he just likes strength and athleticism.

As much as everyone rightly loves Sterling a team full of players like him wins you fuck all either because there’s no quality on the ball.

 

Because signing guys like Cantwell and Kent has won us loads, hasn’t it?

Walter seemed to do just fine with strength and athleticism, as did Postecoglou.

You might not make great strides in Europe, but it’s been proven several times that strength and athleticism wins you leagues in Scotland.

I think the plan would've been to use him later on but the sending off meant we had to bring Raskin on to get fresh legs in the middle of the park and it probably stiffled his options.

 

Although I'm still not sure why we kept Lawrence on and took Souttar off.

I reckon you could be right about Cantwell. Souttar was injured as confirmed by Clement in his post match interview. Sky at the game got that one wrong for some bizzare reason.

I’d always prefer a blend personally.

Goes without saying but us mid 90s with the obvious two over us with McCullough et al. every day of the week.

Strength and athleticism is a prerequisite in the modern game. We have too many guys who have a bit of ability but are powderpuff. Neat and tidy FC.

Wouldn’t have made any difference today. He was largely anonymous in the December game. 

He was and has been far too often ,  but in the last 10 minutes today we were punting the ball up the park with no guile or imagination on how to create any realistic goal scoring opportunity .  We had literally nothing to lose in  putting him on and hoping he had one of those moments . 

Might not have worked , but worth the gamble imo.

I'm not even convinced we have that much neat and tidy footballers. Even with 11 vs 11 today their midfield were passing round us in wee triangles like we weren't even there whereas we were incapable of doing the same to them.

The comment was about just having strength and athleticism with little footballing ability.

That's fair mate, was more responding to Bronzy's post than yours and expressing my frustration at our lack of athleticism for 18 months or so now. 

I would look at the CB we're strongly linked with as a positive sign that's not the direction he's going in - supposed to be very capable on the ball.

Haha aye, fair. I think we're neat and tidy in the sense that we have no purpose or incision with our passing. Their triangles are usually designed to free up one of their midfielders to go and be decisive (it happened time and time again first half) - so I wouldn't even call that neat and tidy play because there's a purpose to it.

Ahh right, I had turned it well off by the time they did the interviews, only heard Sky saying it wasn't an injury, weird how they got that one wrong, wonder if that was our info and we just wanted to give them something to think about instead of letting them know it was a needs must sub.

Presumably Clement isn't a fan of 13 year old lassies in his team.

He prefers moronic scouse cunts and paraplegic Welsh men.

Nah, I don’t think he had any intention of bringing Cantwell on. We brought Wright on

I think Wright was more about pace, he's a brutal option though, the fact he didn't do too badly makes it even worse, just makes you think someone with a bit more quality would've had more joy.

Souttar was an injury.

Just found that out, took Sky's word for it at the start of the second half, telly was well and truly off by the time the interviews came on.

I never seen it on Sky either mate. It's on one of the threads on here with a link to Twitter

Here's the post anyway if you want to watch the interview.

 

[MacBoyd 5,654]

Totally done if clement stays 

[MacBoyd 5,654]

Clearly something happened last week with his Facebook maw pish. To not start was bad but to not even get on...

[Gascoigne's Flute 283]

If he didn't play over his social media antics and his post was aimed at the manager then I fully back the managers decision not to play him.

Absolute stupidity doing stuff like that before our biggest game of the season and wasn't needed.

It must of been that, he's pathetic 

[five stars 1,739]

It is pathetic and childish if he's posting cryptic messages on social media about the manager before a big game. 

But we needed him yesterday. 

Lawrence doesn't have the legs or energy that Cantwell has and would of been better coming on as a sub.

[JackAlex93 11,633]

Writing is on the wall for him at us. Can't even get on as a sub but Scott Wright and Nico Raskin do

[Zappa6995 3,693]

Maybe just maybe his cryptic pseudo Eric Cantona instagram pish worked for him as he didn't fancy it, if he's here next season I'll be amazed.

[esquire8 43,664]

Finished as a Rangers player. 

Didn't think it would come to this but clearly the manager has had enough of him.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540]

Looked pretty clear from the start Clement didn’t fancy him and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the first one out the door in the summer.
