Rousseau 10,605 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Quote Switch the managers around and he'd change alot of the players. He probably would, but he'd get a lot more out of this team than GvB. Quote Our squad is inadequate, not balanced, doesn't have enough energy, is only occasionally motivated and is primed for finishing 2nd in a 2 horse race. I disagree with this. That's not to say it's not lacking: I've wanted an #8 for a while; RW is bare; we need more forwards/inside forwards etc. Quote This manager hasn't got what it takes to turn this around. Agreed. I've never thought he had it in the first place. His European exploits mystify me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did feel in the run up to it ,that the outcome had a certain inevitability about it ,but 4-0 ..FFS. I take solace from the fact that our domestic form, strangely and rather annoyingly , bares no resemblance whatsoever to our European form . Onwards and upwards. I think we'll get found out in Europe (CL) this season. We need to start a rebuild with a couple of the younger players and do some major surgery in the next couple of window (in and out). I don't think Gio is the man for the job. We continue as we are, things will just get worse. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing to much more expensively assembled teams isn't really being 'found out'. The domestic situation is the real concern, particularly our away form. We knew how Celtc would play yesterday but the team didn't look prepared at all. Why was that!? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have about 30 coaches on the sidelines and yet no-one made the players aware that Celtic were tactically using quick throws and free kicks. To be honest everyone should be have been aware after the first time but when it happened again and again, that was criminal. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,293 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 GvB will definitely get the see out the CL group stage. Probably longer, unless things go really tits up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, was shocking to watch it again and again and again. You can't excuse that level of negligence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all, but generally this group of players are stale, not as hungry and motivated as opposition, not as fit, not as high energy levels and haven't got the leadership on or off the park to change it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them taking quick throw ins was specifically mentioned by GvB in his post-match comments as something the team had failed to take on board, so it sounds like that’s down to the players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, then it's even more concerning. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
