Forward lays the merest of touches on defender, who immediately falls over. Free kick, every time. Infuriating. That ref is particularly bad for it, but only when its a team playing us. He doesn't afford us the same rules. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 5,327 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Solid 3 points after a tough week, but a few big red flags. Some of our players just can’t handle two games a week – they don’t have the stamina. Guys like Diomande and Dessers are really struggling to keep up. Diomande, in particular, is a serious concern. We’ve spent a lot of money on him, but he’s only had one good game all season (Malmo). In most other matches, he’s been subbed either for poor performance or lack of fitness. Playing two games a week is the standard here. No point moaning about it. We want to challenge for a domestic treble and do well in Europe, right? Well, that means getting used to playing a lot of football and making sure the squad can handle it. We’ve got about 2.5 months of football left before the January transfer window opens. If we’re serious about competing this season, we should already be thinking about getting new signings in and deals done now. If we don’t get reinforcements in, I worry we’re not taking this season seriously at all. I’d even consider moving on high-value players like Dessers and Butland if the right opportunity comes up in the window. We need to trust our recruitment policy and believe we can replace them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,185 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Coming off the Lyon scudding on Thursday, last night was never going to be pretty. Job done and forget it. Next spell of games between International breaks will be interesting. We'll be visiting Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, Olympiakos and Hampden for a semi final against Motherwell. Aberdeen's credentials will be fully tested against us and Celtic(X2). Celtic also have a challenging run of games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced we'd get much for either of them in January. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprise any more is it? They didn't miss it just chose to ignore. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
locked ward 100 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I enjoyed that .Well done to Cerny after the sheeple had turned on him. Bajrami with Hagi as back up is much better as the forward midfielder. Hopefully Lawrence is out long term as it might be the only thing that saves the manager. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit unfair to label fans who pay to watch matches having a moan about a player who isn't playing well as 'sheeple'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
