KeyserSoze 15,214 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Utterly bizarre what he does with his substitutes. He actually weakens the team with his bizarre thinking Not everyone needs a fucking run about ffs. BlackpoolBear1952 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 35,317 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Do you think he's thinking a out Tuesday ? That would be my take on it but I'd rather be a couple of goals up before seeing a game out . HG5, Blue Skies and Inigo 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 19,546 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Tbf he's hamstrung with hunners of different shapes of jobby. Still though, mental that Jefte was behind Wright, Lawrence, McCausland and Matondo today. I'm more annoyed that he starts Lawrence in the 10 and allows him to do nothing then does the same the next game. It's clearly no working so drop that ten and put an extra midfielder like Sterling in there. Zappa6995 and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people are upset because we struggles towards the end, but I understand why he's doing it. And seeing as we won, he's got away with it, so no big issues tbh.

Inigo 33,279 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 These are the risks he has to consider because he's been given a weak squad at this time. Isn't so risky if he's been given a better one. Squad is woeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 26,414 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 We are the most open defensive team I've seen in a long long time. Can't defend but only throw2-3 players forward when we break. It's bonkers MacBoyd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 37,301 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Bizarre that players need fitness (eg Danilo), but instead of giving him minutes we just run Dessers into the ground. plymouthranger, The Godfather and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers_no1 34,420 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I could totally get the fitness argument if McCausland didn't start in Poland after missing Hearts. Yilmaz starting at Tynecastle as well when Jefte was prept for it throughout pre season. Additionally Tav came straight into the team after injury. Danilo needs minutes and has 0. There's no consistency to the decisions. Dessers has 3 x 90 minutes. HG5, KeyserSoze and hammer93 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talks often about “minutes in the legs” and other shite about getting “game ready”. He said the other night some shite about Danilo not coming on because it’s more difficult “when you’re not winning “. He over complicates everything when he doesn’t really need to. His habit of chucking on players he must know won’t turn a game does my tits in. Leftpegcoopz11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I trained 5 days a week for 4 or 5 hours I’d be able to run about like a man possessed for 90mins. Easy peasy Infact on average a player covers between 6 and 8 miles in a game. I walk my dog every day and cover about 5 miles in a couple of hours and I’m nearly fucking 60 ffs. Redmond7, HG5 and The Archer 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought his first picks needed as much time playing together as possible. Plus they look unfit minutes in the legs and all that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
