Absolutely made up for him. He's living the dream. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,933 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 It is small wonder that our centre forward is a stickler for politesse, and punctilio: his initials, after all, are CD. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dio’s numbers will surprise some. They surprise me. I've been too hard on him when I see Sterling's and particularly Barron's stats. Diomande manages to look comletely chaotic at times. I must pay more attention i think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the error does not reduce the cogency of Woodhouse's analysis, which I fear is on the money. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 48 minutes ago, Uilleam said: Meanwhile in the real world, a midfielder, and boxer, observes: Well, just plain ironic banter. THEY usually park the bus and lob high balls to send their strikers running, hoping for a corner or free-kick along the way. Targetting weak fullbacks has been added. Only one of our DMs in recent years was able to do his job properly, Ryan Jack, and we continually lost him due to injuries or freak red cards. The rest was usually running all over the place, as were Diomande and Barron for the best part of the season so far ... though Barron has been better at that lately. This season's problem, is - once more - that we have a new manager and a team in transition. The last two or three transitions lasted too long, tactics weren't adapted, and whole seasons were lost. Injuries etc. aside. It is only 4 games played, though. And while all the dirge-singers will be in full swing now, no-one knows how the season will eventually unfold. Given the transfer window, optimism will sure look somewhat different. As I said above, any new boy will know what is required, and hopefully they all show up from now on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yuddie 1,693 Posted September 2 Popular Post Share Posted September 2 Right. Clement went man for man, which in itself isn't a bad plan and it actually looked good initially but then Celtic started pulling our players from pillar to post and we were wide open. There's a genuine question as to whether he's got the personnel to do this, what with Dessers being a bit shy in the air, on the deck and immobile and our defence being slow. I don't mind the principle. I also don't mind that he insisted on building from the back. Our shape and structure is still a bit haphazard, and for me that's due to Souttar and Pröpper being worried about the runners. That's psychological. Yesterday was very reminiscent of Leeds Utd going away from home with Bielsa. One of the perks (or not) of when you go man for man is that you can't carry players having a stinker, if 1 or 2 players are losing their man and losing their duels consistently then generally it's curtains. We had half a dozen. I would've liked to have seen 4-4-2 oop personally, it worked well for us in the final even though we lost. I'll get panned for saying this but Clement does have ideas and a plan, the execution is just poor. We have a few days now to reset, the lads can have a couple of days and then we can get back on the training pitch with the new signings. The question I ask is would you rather be competitive against Celtic but be turned over by dross like Hamilton at home or vice versa? If he gets to grips with the OF then we'll be getting there. I'm trying to be glass half full here! Cheers. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
