der Berliner 3,424 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I can live with them being a decent side and had enough good opportunities. They sure deserve their victory. But our line-up and performance and substitutions ... ach well, sick and tired of this. 🤮 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Gio knows what his best formation is. He got it wrong tonight and that's fine, we all make mistakes but he was slow to react and change things. Players also need to look at themselves. The new signings coming under the spotlight and under fire but established players like Tav, Goldson, Borna, Jack, Kamara at am hardly covered themselves in glory tonight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,218 Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Not sure where that abysmal performance came from tonight but the only good thing I can say is that at least it was only 2-0. I'm quite frankly stunned at how bad we were and the manager has a lot of explaining to do as to why we struggled so badly. USG ran rings around us. From the goalkeeper right through the team not one player can say they did their job. All looked two yards short of pace, seemed uncaring about working hard and were outmuscled at every opportunity. No point in singling out anyone as, to a man, we had a shocker. Like I say, the only good thing is we're not completely out the tie but, on that form, we won't be coming back anyway. I was looking forward to Ibrox on Saturday but, aside from a total turnaround in attitude and effort, we may as well not turn up. Completely unacceptable. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,606 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think the worst thing about it was the failure to make changes to formation, strategy and players. There was a failure to actually address what was happening. We were getting absolutely nowhere and perhaps that was because we had three defensive mids on the pitch. There was nowhere near enough movement. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon 1,158 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I can't comment because I don't have Premier Sport or a VPN but I am gutted at what I am reading. What on earth was Gio thinking about by not changing the tactics and making changes earlier? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,528 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Baffled by so many things tonight. How bad our players were. Our lack of creativity. Our tactics. All this against a fairly average side IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,937 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Will be interested to hear how Gio explains this away. Bit of honesty required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
