I get it’s all about opinions etc but bookies disagree and strongly favour PSV to qualify.

You guys cant be letting me lead here I've not touched my team since day 1

I'm not overly fussed on the tactics / system / style of play / personnel. I'm more concerned with our slow build up and the fact the players don't seem to want it as much as other teams. We need to go into every game looking like we want to win from the first whistle and play with a high tempo to put teams under the cosh - more domestically than in Europe. We don't do it at all. We look lackadaisical and play a dull, boring and slow type of football. Great managers like Walter Smith and Alex Ferguson famously got 110% out of players. I'm not even sure Beale is getting 50% out of some of these guys. The aggression and hunger Hagi showed today is exactly what we have missed as a team IMO. I'm more concerned about our trip to Dingwall than I am about a trip to Eindhoven. Dingwall is a must win. Eindhoven we are underdogs.

Still early, only August etc

Man U look dreadful. Ten Haag has spent a fortune and it’s doubtful they have improved. I don’t think he’ll see out the season.

We are really boring to watch.

Cedric Itten mk2. Hope I’m wrong but that’s what it looks like right now.

What do you mean. The horseshoe and deep crossing fullbacks hoofing the ball into one forward v 6 defenders is fool proof

Doesn’t touch him imo, no contact at all. No idea how the ref can give this. https://x.com/davidtannertv/status/1692880485398028680?s=46

Oh well. In the hat and Hagi looked good. Other than that glad it’s out the way.

Hagi has looked excellent since coming on.

Got out of jail there. Let’s win this in 90 don’t want ET before Tuesday

Should have had a pen there 2 shirt pulls in one passage of play

Never a pen 0 contact.

Tamudo been our best player. Other than him we are a very one paced one dimensional outfit.

Should have been a pen to us there dessers shirt being pulled in box

David Dickinson Bargain c*nt

Rangers 3 Morton 0 fgs Dessers

On the flip side we got Bassey for buttons. Its about finding the right player not cost. Lets see how Sterling gets on this year, Tav wont go on forever.

I have an issue with it. The reason we have this stupid split and 12 team league, play the same teams again and again is because TV wanted 4 OF games(and pay us peanuts for it) but also because the diddy teams wanted 2 home games v us a season to milk the blue cash cow. Now they have decided they don't want to milk the blue cash cow meanwhile we are stuck with this broken format. Its all rather pointless. I'd hope a 16 team league comes back on the agenda as the top 4 in the championship are pretty similar in quality to the bottom 8 of the SPFL. Perhaps teams would have a bit more freedom to blood in youth players. I seen a stat somewhere that there were little or no young players used in the SPFL last season. Leon King was one of the most used u-20 players in the league with about 10 games.

Mostly, did lose the best part of a season with Derby due to an Achilles issue a few years back but other than that afaik he has been fit.

Picked up a knock in training last week.

3 big omissions: Kemar Roofe - always injured Ben Davies - Injured / Away Tom Lawrence - not fit Matondo - not good

Just as an aside I think this 'home grown' status rule has led to the big clubs hoovering up all the best young talent. And driven up the price of young players. I don't think its a particularly effective rule and should be binned off.
