docspiderman 1,262 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I don't really see why Papac has got so much stick today. Sure, he had none of the great tackles he pulls out the bag against teams like Barcelona but I didn't see him do much wrong. The imposter playing in front of him in the first half made life really hard for Papac, no help, no outlet and left Papac to deal with the left side on his own by his reluctance to close down, challenge, or make any effort to contribute or stay on his feet.

Excelsior2k5 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Midfield was non existent and thats why it went to pens. 5 against 4 and the 4 were by far the better players. 5 piss poor performers there. Broodfoot, Boyd, Cuellar, McGregor and JCD were only pass marks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnollyRFC 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hemdani certainly shouldn't be tired, he's only played in about half our games this season!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancedeangers1 287 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think its unfair to be critical of the team for one poor performance given the strides we have made, but M'culloch has been poor the last few appearances. His shocking miss against Bremen nearly cost us, his performance yesterday was awful and then he takes an awful penalty. ( TIME TO BE Dropped ).

Guest Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hemdani, McCulloch, Burke and Papac, absolute shite. McCulloch was by far the worst out them all, a poor POOR performance along with a penalty miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_glasgow 2 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 ferguson again was no where to be seen I think he plays out of position he isnt a attacking midfielder. me personally midfield should be -------------------------------Fergie---------------Thomson--------------------------- ----------Naismith/Novo----------------Davis----------------Burke/Adam/McCuuloch---- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andypendek Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 i too was a bit surprised to see sasa rated at 3, was it in the paper? and burke at 5? i didn't think papac was outrageously bad, from memory he was in the right places at least. faint praise i know. oleg, if the fans were giving chris burke pelters all i can say is i'm not surprised. everyone can have an off day but to combine that with lack of effort and (to my mind) the continuance of an embarrassing tendancy to dive and you're not going to get my support. if you try your best no-one can ask any more, but that just wasn't the case with chris yesterday.

KeepBelieving1872 64 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The worst performance yesterday was without doubt Walter Smith. He's a legend and i'm delighted he's our manager but he had an off day yesterday. At the start of the season i thought i wouldn't see Thomson, Ferguson & Hemdani in the same team unless we were playing in Europe or Celtic. However for some reason Walter managed to fit Hemdani, Davis, Dailly & Ferguson in midfield!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. Joke tactics when combined with playing McCulloch up front on his own. I like McCulloch but only when he plays wide in the midfield. He doesn't have much pace and doesn't score enough - what has he ever done for us in the games he has played up front. Bugger all. The team that started extra time should have been the team from the first minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
