PoohBear 1,148 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Part of the reason I think we did well in Europe is that Gio has the team playing inconsistently. With two legs it meant that we could lose a game where we don't even turn up, but then blow the opposition away in the next leg. Obviously didn't go our way in the final. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That counts for nothing if you're just going to hoof it up to a couple of target-men. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the squad is, on the whole, fine - albeit lacking in certain areas, certainly. The problem, for me, is the tactical approach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see the problems our squad has, you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near tactics. 😄 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I was happy Gio was brought in and despite his somewhat conservative outlook, felt he could adapt that to help us in Europe but be more adventurous domestically. For whatever reason - coaching, player attitude, squad changes, poor transfers, injuries - that hasn't (yet) happened. It might still but he's doing it the hard way and I'm becoming increasingly unconvinced. That's bad enough without an obvious candidate for replacing him. Would Kjetil Knutsen be a bold appointment or a Caixinha gamble? Would Dyche offer stability but boredom? Could Kevin Thomson really make the step from Kelty to Clydeside? None of these names enthuse me... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,607 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 My managerial wish list would include: De Zerbi, Marco Rose, Sampaoli, Bielsa, and Adi Hutter. All free agents. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,148 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I think we do have a good squad, although recruitment this year may be lacking. The team did make it to the EL final, you don't do that with crap players. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
