I don't think so. Many teams - see Leverkusen - play with two. 

 

I think it's the press: teams can break our press quite easily. 

 

It's also a specific problem in Lundstram's game; it has been for a while: Even in Beale's diamond he was quite poor in this metric. He is actually in the lowest 3% in the whole league for this metric.

 

Either he is particularly bad at it, or our press is so poor they are exposed. I lean towards it being a bit of both. 

Our press has regressed dramatically. 1st half against Celtic, only Dessers and Lundstrum were attempting any press at all. Rest of team retreated into our half when ever we were out of possession. 

 

Not sticking up for Lundstrum but until a few weeks ago, he was being touted as POTY.......

Tavernier only tackled twice in the whole game? And he only won one? What sort of fullback is that? You would think he’d been playing behind a dominant midfield and rampant attack. Or maybe Dundee played with no left flank.

Sterling won 1/1.

Goldson won 2/2.

Souttar won 2/3. 

Lundstram won 2/2.

I'm only picking at a single metric. 

 

His other defensive stats are quite good. 

 

He is also always available.

Butland, I suppose.

Butland.

brilliant double save at their dis-allowed goal.

I went for Soutar best of a bad bunch

I thought sterling played a goodish game but I also wondered why he wasn’t switched to a more DM/CM role at half time and put Barisic on tbh. Butland solely on his double safe.

I am going for Souttar.  His attitude and effort were good and he had a reasonable game.
