jhunter 0 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 kind of hoped we'd escape that sort of result for MW's sake but let's face it the transfers this summer have been woeful we've spent 2.5M on MOH and garner when we have a back 4 that couldn't keep weans out of a close absolutely senseless. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Better than what? Better than being second in the league? If Aberdeen win today they too will be on 8 points from 5 games. As I said, better than 8 points from 5 games. Also, both Ross County and Hearts can go above us today.

trublusince1982 243 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The managers instructions on pressing the ball or lack of are baffling . All season we have stood back and watched teams with the ball until they reach our final third, mental. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ok. I'm walking back with my scarf up my jacket as hundreds of mhanks around me. Keirnan cost is two goals and looked nervous on or around the ball. Why oh why did MW go to a back three at 3-1??? No excuse for that, just suicide!. Then we had Senderos sent off. We looked off the pace. McKay is still rotten. Kranjar for a senior player was caught again being slow and wants too much time. Then loses the place. Barton was ok. People are saying we were still in it at 2-1, I didn't feel we were. We still looked second and they could have scored at will. Windass played well, my last thought at the moment is we keep slowing play up through midfield. It was a bit better today but not much. When holt is fit, drop Barton and play holt with Halliday, windass and Rossiter. Our back four are so poor at defending it untrue. That what happened today, to dress it up is just putting your head in the sand. 5-1 is unacceptable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj_1872 0 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Any talk of considering the manager's position is a massive overreaction. However, he definitely deserves some criticism. Same old story but we just can't defend and it comes down to tactics. Again and again we were left exposed at the back, and I'm sick of the nail biting moments that we pass it out from the back. Foderingham's diagonals to Tav consistently put us on the back foot immediately. Plenty individual poor performances. Barton, Kranjcar, Kiernan. Title of biggest flop on the day goes to Senderos with his 2 completely avoidable and embarrassing bookings. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Senderos is rash and has a history of red cards in big games, a wee word in his ear wouldn't have went amiss today. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,675 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 As I said, better than 8 points from 5 games. Also, both Ross County and Hearts can go above us today. It will get better and a lot better at that and we still haven't had a single chance of fielding a first choice starting 11 in any game. . It doesn't matter how the table looks at the end of today only at the end of the season and we wont play as badly as that again. This is the low point and I would rather have it now in the first handful of games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-1000 174 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think today Rodgers had done his homework and saw that if they could stop us from building from the back then they were likely to be on the offensive. They were quick in closing us down and we therefore had to rush our passes and lost possession too many times. In previous games teams have generally allowed us time and space and when this was denied we struggled. I would hope MW would look at how we can deal with the situation when we have teams harrying us and chasing us down as quickly as they did. We normally dominate the possession stats but this was the not the case in this game and that is why we were on the back foot. I think it is a matter of learning from this experience and moving on. If MW can be blaimed for anything it was starting Niko; in these types of games he is not able to exert the influence he does where he has more time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
