Cant ask for anything except being pulled out in a home tie, that's bonus one. Secondly Motherwell are poor and it will be good to beat McGhee.

But the league positions wasn't true reflections so early in the season and to be fair Conte hadn't installed his system. Lost at Arsenal and at home to Liverpool. but thumped Man Utd and beat Spurs since then. You have to admire the way Conte turned things around. They started the season well despite not playing well then went on a poor run. You have to also give the players credit for buying into his way of play so soon and for it to just click instantly is a job well done to everyone. Well done to Conte for sticking to his guns in a system that has served him so well. You just have to look at Mourinho who cant change things at Man Utd despite having the players available. Why Mourinho doesn't play Carrick and Herrera holding then a 3 of Mkhitaryan, Mata and Pogba as the offensive 3 is mind boggling. Lingard isn't a bad player but seems to be first pick on the right and Rashford is thrown out on the left.

For me id switch to a 4-1-3-2 or 4-1-4-1 Defence can pick itself. But the midfield and forward as this with the 3 switching roles (although perhaps Rossiter in for Halliday once fit): Halliday Ohallaran Forrester McKay Miller Dodoo In a 4-1-4-1 with again the 4 switching roles (again Rossiter in for Halliday when fit): Halliday OHallaran Holt Forrester McKay Miller Options with the latter formation is Windass can fit in at anytime as can Crooks and Rossiter for Halliday if they ever get fit. Dodoo, Waghorn and Garner all options for Miller. I still think Waghorn has something to offer on the inside right or through the middle when he gets his confidence back.

Had West Ham to get a draw but unfortunately also had Everton to draw at Southampton. Man Utd go to Everton next week and I cant see them winning that either, they will slip further behind. 6th is the highest I can see them get at the moment. But I don't get why Mourinho isn't playing his best side. He got it right against Feyenoord but opted for changes again on Sunday. Plus sent off again, its almost like he is trying to get the sack for a pay out then go into international management.

This one seems a bit interesting. Although the best would still have been Apple so the stadium remained I-brox.

I don't think he had any option to make this sub mate, Garner was awful. I have wanted to see Miller up top with Waghorn or Dodoo for weeks in a changed formation. My take on the team: Foderingham - did well with few saves he should make. Tavernier - Improved as a defender but its cost him what he offers going forward, that is ok if we play MOH on the right. Wilson / Kiernan - not the best but perhaps Wilson is not 100%. Thistle got forward a lot against this back 2. Worrying long term. Wallace - Unlucky not to score when his shot was going in until it came off Holt. Halliday - So so but I think when Rossiter is 100% fit he could be done with a rest. Holt - Drifted in and out. Would be more suited playing central in a 4-1-4-1 Windass - clearly wasn't fit. Forrester - Probably our most dangerous player, would be more suited to playing in a 4-1-3-2 / 4-1-4-1 Miller - Work rate was awesome, he got back a lot. 2 quality assists. Garner - doesn't fit into this system at all. Should be behind Miller, Waghorn and now Dodoo in the pecking order upfront. Subs: MOH - Should be starting every game on the right wing at the moment. Mckay - Improved the team after replacing Windass. Dodoo - Prior to the goals he was far more affective than Garner anyway and he was up against a Thistle 6/7 man defence. First goal was a sublime take which heeded confidence. The winner was quality calmness to slot it in. He has earned a start in midweek. If he bulked up just slightly he could be a real handful for defenders.

Premier League. If he stays injury free he will hit 30 this season.

When Thistle hit the bar I thought there was only one winner. Perhaps justice for the penalty forrester never got.

Surely has upfront with Miller in a 4-1-3-2. Ive been wanting to see this although prefer Waghorn but Dodoo has to start. Garner, Windass and Holt take a break

herooooooo

what a hit

On this showing I cant see us taking much points from Hearts twice and Aberdeen. McCann can clearly see how simple it is to change things, why cant MW.

Disasterous stuff.

Im convinced its the formation.

Time for Dodoo and MOH. Garner off, every time I see him Icant work out why he was signed, doent fit into our system at all

Dont think Windass is 100%, perhaps make a change there and put MON on.

City first up this lunchtime, Aguero just levelled 1-1

I dont get the sky studio coverage, just the match comes on a minute before kick off but do get Crocker and McCann, its perfect. Half time i will get highlights from world football.

at least he isnt co -commentator, McCann is far more a breathe of fresh air

Not the best viewing, only the one chance, Miller should have found the back of the net.

That plus I think we need to tweak the formation. The midfield balance still isn't right. square pegs square holes works better.

My one and only trip to Firhill was as a raw 15 year old on a freezing rainy winter Saturday afternoon where we scrapped a 1-1 draw. Laudrup was away on international duty and was badly missed. IIRC Davie Robertson snatched a 1-1 draw. Cant see how Miller can be left out of anyones XI at the moment, he is playing the best of any of our strikers. I would like to see 4-4-2 (or call it 4-1-3-2 these days). This team for me has balance, width, creativity and pace. The sooner Waghorn gets a run and his shooting boots on the better IMO. EDIT - After listening to MW's press conference Waghorn is just back training so unlikely to start. Ive replaced him with Dodoo. Foderingham Tavernier Kiernan Hill Wallace Halliday O'Hallaran Windass Forrester Miller Dodoo

Partick 0-2 Rangers Miller FGS

4 mins 33 secs...thats another legendary goal. Fair play to Jock Brown for the commentary. Laudrup steeling the show at the end though in the last goals. Class.

Got to love a bit of Jimbo....just realised he is on talksport - that is a scoop for them.
