BLUEDIGNITY 33,707 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 . . . but after watchin our game Tuesday and DU v bheggars last night we are definitely the better team between us and the mhanks. In fact DU should have beat them last night. What we need is more players to have more confidence in having shots at goal, after the nervy start on Tuesday it should have been shooty in because some good football was played. The one trick pony was found out last night how many times was he dispossesed of the ball and broon ain't kiddin anybody he's not interested, his favourite now is shoutin at linesmen allegedly about being hard done to. They are shit. Bit of confidence needed throughout our squad to have a pop at goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Confidence is key. Broadfoot, Ferguson, Davis and Papac often look totally bereft of confidence and it's really harming us during games even though we're still scraping through. We've got players to win this league (IMHO) but the coaching staff need to start working on technique and belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 How can you make any comparison from those two semi finals? Dundee Utd are a far better team than Falkirk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 If I was Smith, I would be cashing in heavily on a siege mentality this year to get the players really raring to go. I'd be drilling it into the players about how the SPL robbed us of a Championship and how they need to go out and get one right up the powers that be. The players and staff have seemed so docile at so many points in the season that it's made me question how fired up they are and I feel that using last season as a tool for motivation could have worked well.

Polo 1,435 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Celtic are rank. You'd never see them playing us off the pitch at Ibrox the way we did to them at the Paedodome. A win against our bogie team on Saturday will give the lads a lift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson is over a yard short of his previous pace.Davis looks and plays as if he lacks fitness. Papac is solid and has added to his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stelle1966 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Iv said it time and time again... We may not be great but Celtic are god damn awful sometimes! If I am being honest... If I were to go through their first 11 and ours and compare... Id say we overall have a stronger side! If that's the case, then I can't understand why we are where we are. The truth is we have some decent players, and we have some average workmen, and one or two complete turds. We a country mile better than no-one in this league, however no-one is a country mile better than us. Playing one up front at Pittodrie was a managment failing. Sack the twat and get Leviene in.

Broadfoot - turd 0-0 draw tactical genius (I thought we were a country mile better than anyone) I'd like to see Leviene given some real players to make a team with.
