I don't pay any attention to Dutch football. The Twente manager's definition of 'match fit' may differ from Clement's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,079 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 During yesterday's game Jefte was booked for "persistent fouling" after commiting his 1st foul. Beaton clearly points to areas of the pitch and holds up 4 fingers. So did Jefte get booked for persistent fouling after 1 foul or did Beaton book him simply because we as a team had committed 4 fouls? Nobody from the club will ask the question, but it would be good for Beaton / SFA to explain the situation. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefte, Stirling, Lawrence and Dio were all booked for nothing. Edited September 2 by Sutton_blows_goats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibmark 19 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Butland 'should've' done better with all 3 goals imo. Goal one, he got a hand to it Goal two, positionally horrendous Goal three, possibly harsh but a 'top' keeper getting beat twice from 20 odd yards in the same game? https://twitter.com/patrickcaskie/status/1830237333255602330 Edited September 2 by Chibmark 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butland’s form fell off a cliff at the same time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had only been on the park a few minutes and the yahoo just ran past him and dived - wasn't even a foul, never mind a yellow card. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 A few stats on our midfield: Ground Duels won: Diomande - 16/12 Barron - 4/0 Sterling - 4/2 Aerial Duels won: Diomande - 1/0 Barron - 1/0 Sterling - 1/0 Tackles: Diomande - 5 Sterling - 1 Barron - 0 Interceptions: Sterling - 4 Diomande - 0 Barron - 1 Blocked Shots and Clearances: Sterling - 1 for each Barron and Dio - 0 for both Have to say, Barron in particular isn't doing much defensively off the ball at all? Seems to find a way to avoid duels. Is he not more of an 8 than a 6? Another thing that stands out is not a single aerial duel won by our three midfielders. One thing that has worried me about Clement is that he doesn't seem to value aerial prowess at all, which will cost you in Scotland. Diomande's stats are rock bottom for aerials, like pretty much zero. So are Bahrami's. You almost never see 1st percentile nunbers but that's two signings now, both for midfield. Don't have stats for Barron but he's not much use in the air either. Propper's aerial numbers were poor for a centre back. So even the position that should really have good numbers, Clement doesn't seem to value it. Jefte and Cerny are useless in the air. Kasanwirjo is the one exception. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
