match thread (image) [FT] St Johnstone 1 - 2 Rangers (Morelos 65, 88)

[buster. 5,208]

We need tempo but haven't got the players in the midfield to do it in their half.

 

St.Johnstone tactics are our kryptonite, more especially given lack of options.

[26th of foot 6,084]

Passing the ball without tempo, in front of the opposition. Passing it without tempo down the sides, often recycling the ball back to central midfield. The occasional cross flying across the box, too high, too deep, and too predictable. We have NOT worked the keeper.

 

It's another depressing performance away from home.

When McRorie learns how to pass the ball to a team mate he might become a football player. Until then he’s a waste of space. 

I was meaning for effort more than footballing ability.

It is becoming quite worrying.  They just seem to stand and shrug.

He's being let down by players that don't seem to have any idea of what they're doing.

 

But he signed Grezda who is, to be frank, utterly awful and apparently unsuited to the Scottish game.

And in the meantime Ryan Hardie is in the form of his life for someone else!

[Rousseau 10,666]

I actually thought Coulibaly was doing OK, or was at least one of the more 'lively' midfielders. Like the rest of the game, and like everyone else, nothing happens at the end of 'attacks', if you can call them attacks.   

 

I agree with everyone else; clueless. 

[Bill 13,717]

This isn’t about coaches. It’s about players who lack courage and belief.

I don't understand what we're trying to do.

 

Any team worth their salt just need to work a wee bit hard and we completely chuck it.

 

And the manager and his coaches seem completely clueless in terms of being able to change the system or personnel to find improvement.

 

Coulibaly off - Lafferty on please.

 

Grezda off - Middleton on please.

 

Let's go 4-4-2 and at least try to take the game to them.

The personnel and formations have changed but the tactics have been the same for 2 months now Frankie same type of play same type of result. No one is learning anything. If we keep playing the same we'll lose another goal in the second half and not score ourself.

Grezda is going through the motions

Him and Coulibaly mean we're down to nine men which is unforgivable given we're trying to be the attacking team.

 

Coulibaly seems to have no idea at all what he's to do and just runs about like a headless chicken offering nothing.  His lack of effort to close down the cross at the goal was embarrassing.

 

But they're not alone and the whole team are hiding.
