Qualifying for the CL was always about the cash! no Scottish team is good enough to be challenging any CL team! fact! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual caveats over resources aside, we didn't really offer any decent quality on the ball until far too late in the game. You can play better teams but you can't afford to be so poor on the ball. Not good enough. Obviously there were a few exceptions to that. McGregor was excellent, Goldson was largely solid whilst Matondo and Sakala provided a work-rate and threat that was missing previously. However, we're clearly well short overall and that goes further than a few bad passes. Before bed, our season won't be defined by dropping out the CL group stage. However, the manager really needs to find a system and an XI that provides a lot more consistency and quality domestically and in Europe. As it stands I'm not seeing much progress but no white flag yet. Totally agree. We aren’t using the squad we’ve got. A front three of Matondo, Colak and Sakala could do some damage domestically, with Tillman centrally behind them and Lundstram and Jack centre mid. We aren’t using our players and when we do the positions and system is wrong (Tillman wide). Champions League is very tricky to get right but we showed no ambition until the 80th minute. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,809 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 With a wee bit more ambition, we could have caused them more problems IMO. Tillman is a waste of a jersey so we are playing 10 v 11. I never expected anything other than a defeat therefore let's look at the positives.. 1. It was only 2 goals and both came from dead balls. 2. Goldson, Davies and King were outstanding. 3. McGregor. Enough said. Let's move on and at least give them something to think about at Ibrox. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tillman out wide gave me creepy Namouchi vibes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,809 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Tillman looks like a unit but my 8 year old daughter could knock him off the ball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are outclassed at this level and quicker we understand and accept that, the better. We've punched above our weight for 2 or 3 years in Europe, starting with SG and continued with Gio last season and this season by qualifying for the CL. Wouldn't matter who our manager was, it would be same outcome. Feel free to live in the past and accept the mediocrity that gio serves up. I certainly don't. We're the laughing stock of the Champions league and for the most part I blame the manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What manager could get us to a Europa League Final then get us qualification for the Champions League whilst be unable to spend any money? The list of alternatives will be a short one, but please feel free to make some suggestions Edited October 4, 2022 by CammyF 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, not overly impressed by Darwin Nunez. He's no Mane. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
