Need to be somewhat objective about the line up today and see why certain players played. If it was a competitive game and he wanted a press McCuasland would 100% have played over Dowell. Not that he's good enough. Heard him telling various players to go several times. They didn't do it collectively well once. And if you're suggesting he plays players incapable of pressing that's more worrying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure I rate how he sees football being played - but can obviously live with that if he has us winning everything. We both know how this looks like going mate. Only difference is I'll be able to stomach McInnes a hell of a lot more than you will be able to Laudrupsleftfoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not reading anything into players playing in our first proper friendly of the season. If this is still the case against Berlin I will agree with you.

See in all seriousness, I do think he has progressed from where he was at Aberdeen to where he is now. Killie do play somewhat attacking football (long ball, very direct)with 2 wingers and 2 strikers. I know you'll never be on board with him but we've went down pretty much every other route, this seems to be where we're at doesn't it?

SkylineBlue 25,368 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 McInnes coming in wouldn't change our fortunes either way. He's a competent enough manager to not lose what is essentially our guaranteed second place and we aren't getting any better than that under this board. The only thing that will change our fortuntes is a change of board and investment. I'd much rather have Clement at the helm than McInnes in that scenario. But when the inevitable happens this season and this board sacrifice Clement to try to save their own skin, the appointment of McInnes wouldn't bother me. Though if he has any fucking sense he wouldn't touch us. MacBoyd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your post is fair here - it’s not for me but Killie do play attacking football with a lot of focus on the wingers. If we’re making a change mid season again I just can’t see the club looking beyond him. Boyd etc. will all be calling for it too.

If this is still the case against Berlin I will agree with you. I'm not expecting absolute quality in preseason, but I am expecting to see the basics implemented. PC has said loads about how he expects his team to play including tempo, energy and high press. That simply wasn't there again today and it should be when players know they're only getting 45 mins. We're closer to being a long ball team than the one he's talked about us being The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayro 3,390 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 26 minutes ago, SeparateEntityMyArse said: Clement expecting success from a press by Dessers, Lawrence and Dowell is pretty worrying. With it being the opening friendly, standard of opposition, where we are in pre-season and game time for all I am not too critical of today, if it’s the same against Union Berlin then I will be a bit more worried. Personally I would prefer we played lower opposition where we have the ball more to get the team in better rhythm for what we face 90% of the domestic season but I’m not a football coach 😂 Albertz85 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it mate, and that’s one of the criticisms he’s always had. He’s like an attacking midfielder with the head of a sitting midfielder.

That said I would like to see him in the first eleven getting a proper run at the 10 position if we were in a better place. He won’t last unless he changes, and he’s shown absolutely zero to suggest he will. It’s been an issue since he was 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kents_Hook 1,592 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I'm going to keep saying this until things some what change, that formation/ style is again going to cost us big time, nico injured again but was a really bad tackle, defending is atrocious, i have no clue what butland was doing and now with that been said.......it's just a training game to get players fit and ready for the start of the season.

He's actually a decent wee cunt. I mind when Mccoist was managing us and I bumped into McCiness in a pub in finnieston. Asked him when he was going to take over fae Ally. He just laughed. He was decent as fuck though. Spoke away to me n my mate for about 15 mins. He was in with his burd /wife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
