As the dust settles on what was a particularly disappointing 2-0 Old Firm defeat v Celtic, we’ve had the chance to digest some of the tactical naivety that came with it. There wasn’t a bluenose in the building who wasn’t surprised by Steven Gerrard’s lineup. By the same token, there probably wasn’t a Celtic fan…
Agreed, we blew it. They didn’t win it. SG needs to learn from it and move on
Anybody else watch the Peter and Roughie comedy show tonight with their gust Hugh Macdonald he thinks unless SG wins the league this year he’s finished !
It was a poor display! We have too many midfielders playing lovely passing football along our 18 yard box, but not playing forward where you might have a chance to score?
We have loads of wingers on the books but we didn’t start any? The Ojo came on, but couldn’t get a pass right!
Meanwhile Defoe was faced with 2-3 giants, having to contest aerial punts upfield from the goalie?
Even after signing Kent, we’re short of another striker, who might take a chance of a shot on goal.
Hate to say it, but the set up on Sunday was pure Warburton!
10 players signed and only Aribo started and was mince, Ojo was not much better when he came on then Jones comes on and gets sent off and picks up injury for a terrible tackle that could have ended a guys career. My worry is we have sent Middleton and Hastie away and they may have been better option. Also why spend all that money on King, Helander, and Edumundson when they don’t seem any better than what we have. Kent coming for 7 million only gives us a player we had last year its not making the squad better it’s standing still only 7 million lighter. OK we have a bit more depth and this might inspire players as can be seen with Katic but I don’t see much evidence of the team getting stronger. We struggled against St Mirren, Killie and Legia with last minute goals and have been beaten at home by Celtic. We also have 36 year old up front and no additional strikers. I don’t think it’s looking good.
