  1. Possibly but it doesn't alter the fact that he needs 5 touches and half a minute to work out what he wants to do.
  2. I hope so. Arfield displsyed more intent in 45 mins on Wednesday than Tillman has shown all season. He's just too slow and ponderous. He's also weak physically IMO. One major post script from Wednesday was the difference in physicality between Liverpool and us. We were bouncing off their players like wee boys. Even Colak looked feeble against their CBs.
  3. I don't think it just comes down to spending. If a manager has a clear plan and playing style that he can get the players to believe in, it can be done. Celtic are not spending on fortunes on A-star players. They have a manager with a clear plan. One year in and I'm still trying to work out what Gio's plan is. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know it can be horses for courses (especially the transition from SPL to Europe) but why don't we just use the same mantra and formation in every SPL game? He just tinkers too much for my liking and this is detrimental to consistency and momentum. For example, I have no clue who will start today. That's not because of injuries, that's because he doesn't know what his best formation is.
  4. With the World Cup interrupting the season, hopefully Goldson will only miss the 6 league fixtures leading up to the tournament.
  5. Bruges through to the last 16. Top of the group which includes Leverkusen, Athletico Madrid and Porto. We've beaten 3 Belgian teams over the last 3 years. And we've beaten Porto. Just saying...
  6. Must have been some half time team talk by Gio. Liverpool's class shone through in the end but why did we stop doing the things that were reaping rewards in the 1st half? Not singling him out but merely just an observation...Tav was very poor tonight. PS Gutted for Goldson
  7. I think most fans were asking for an increase in effort and application and that's what we've got tonight. We need to keep the pace up to maintain our threat in the game. And attack their bloody full backs!!
  8. I like the look of Davies with Goldson. It has more balance than Sands and Goldson IMO.
  9. I'm surprised that Rangers have sanctioned the use of Ibrox for this bollocks. I'd rather remove my eyes with a garden trowel than listen to that sh*t.
  10. Still not sure how to process last night. No disgrace to lose to team like Liverpool but I just wish we were slightly more ambitious.
  11. That being said, not overly impressed by Darwin Nunez. He's no Mane.
  12. Tillman looks like a unit but my 8 year old daughter could knock him off the ball.
  13. With a wee bit more ambition, we could have caused them more problems IMO. Tillman is a waste of a jersey so we are playing 10 v 11. I never expected anything other than a defeat therefore let's look at the positives.. 1. It was only 2 goals and both came from dead balls. 2. Goldson, Davies and King were outstanding. 3. McGregor. Enough said. Let's move on and at least give them something to think about at Ibrox.
  14. Not away from home in Europe. Dortmund aside we were pretty lacklustre in most of our EL away games (Red Star, Braga, Leipzig).
  15. I think the shape has worked ok but our decision making at times has been poor and we've played ourselves into trouble. Oh well. 1-0 is better than 3-0 (Ajax)
  16. Tillman is a waste of a jersey. He should be pressing but just strolls. Rather Morelos on right (with Colak up top) or Arfield. At least he would run things down.
  17. Go on Rangers. Regardless of the result, make us proud.
  18. Trialling Lundstram as a spare defender worked ok in the Europa League last year.
  19. Not sure what we learn from trying any formations in secondary cup competitions that no one cares about?
  20. Good shout. Tillman is still too slow IMO. Morelos is also great at getting fouls.
  21. Hmmmm...not really sure about the team. Are we going a back 3 with 2 high wing backs?
  22. A few players hopefully with something to prove ie. Kent and Davies
  23. Liverpool starting with Nunez, Diaz, Jota and Salah 😳😳😳
  24. Not holding out for much but regardless of the score I hope the levels of commitment are equal to that of the Napoli game and not the Ajax game. Liverpool's defence is all over the place so hopefully a few good diagonal balls from Davies and Goldson into the full back areas for Kent and A. Nother to exploit. You never know...😃
