Surprised Arfield didn’t do better there

That was so poor

What a leap from Goldson too. 

That delivery from Barisic was sublime

We’re a bit rattled tbh. So many forced errors. Kent has been really poor so far. 

They’re happy to waste time now and we’re letting them 

I wish we would stop asking Morelos to be a playmaker, we’re going to give away more chances if we keep trying to play it in to his feet in tight positions like that

Kent should have taken that 1st time.

It was poor, he just didn’t do anything with it

1-0

Roofe

Why don’t C1872 have a competent board? 
 

I don’t have knowledge of these matters, but anecdotally it seems clear they don’t. 

An incredible stat for a home game against Ross County, the side who have conceded the most in the league bar Hamilton. (The second tweet)

I'm happy with that draw.

 

I don't like the pitch in Perth or Livingston.

 

Happy to face any of those teams at a neutral venue.

It is a difficult ground to go to though. They were probably the only team not to lose by more than a goal at home to either us or Celtic last season and they have carried that into this season too.

I just seen that they've been beaten 5 times in 10 games? Is that right?

 

Horrendous run. 

 

My issue is that none of those defeats were in the league, which is all that matters to me. 

 

Glass half empty.

And I’m actually with you to an extent. Don’t mind laughing at them a wee bit but it is still early days for the league. It wouldn’t be the first time a manager change has brought about a dramatic change in form. They’ve somehow got through this spell so far only 5 points behind (not including games in hand). If things were to go to plan for the rest of this year, the OF game at Ibrox becomes huge to extend that gap.

I listened to Sportsound and they were very open this time in saying that a number of players had simply chucked it. I suspect they may have decided this was the perfect opportunity to get him sacked, no points dropped but a totally embarrassing home loss, this time in a domestic match.  

This is an interesting one. Shows again that we are creating far more chances than Celtic, but their goals per game ratio is better than ours. There are various potential explanation for this, but they are scoring goals from less chances/lower quality chances which normally points to more clinical finishing. We would be out of sight if they hadn’t done that. 
 

in the defences table, it is good to see Celtic have conceded more xG than St Johnstone haha.

So what would be the stats for both sides in last nights game 

Don’t have access to these, aside from the basic ones

Love this one. Hagi proving me right ?

This is nuts

Brilliant from Hagi, I wish he would get more game time. 

Sorry don’t have time to explain this one just now so just posting it for now 

I keep forgetting to do this  

Falkirk 0-3 Rangers 

Itten

Going through the team, Barisic was the pick of the defenders and showed his importance on the European stage yet again. Both goals came directly as a result of his runs and his ability to get the ball into dangerous positions. After an early mistake I had a feeling Tavernier wouldn't recover and he didn't really. Goldson almost gifted them a 3-2 win, Balogun was good but could have done better at the second goal I think.

I actually thought all three midfielders were good. Arfield won the ball loads and drove us forward. Kamara was good and Davis was probably the pick of the three for me.

Roofe was the pick of the forwards and MotM for me. His all round game was fantastic. Excellent out of possession and just as good in possession. When the ball comes to him he either wins the header and aims it to one of our players or, if it comes to feet, the ball just sticks to him and he keeps possession. His header was key to the first goal and the second was just yet another solo goal. In my opinion he is our best forward and I really hope he doesn't have any more recurrences of his calf problems this season. It was a bit of typical Kent performance for me, outstanding out of possession but just lacks quality in it and too many of our attacks break down with him. Morelos had another good game against a Portuguese side.
