You can argue all you want about team selection but tonight we put in a great 1st half overall, the whole team shat it 2nd half 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,473 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Too many players not doing it at the moment. I hate to single players out but what's happened to Barasic. Looks very unsure at the moment. And please can we get beyond lobbing endless crosses into a packed box? That's 3 games in a row we've persisted with this tactic. Ok we scored from a cross tonight but 1 goal out of about 50 crosses over 3 games is not a good hit rate. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,240 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A tactical lesson by a team 12 weeks more into their season than we are. 4 errors or blibs and you get punished - and the lad took his goals well today, as opposed to the farce over in Malmö. All those teams from the East, Belgium or Holland these last two seasons were not as far into their season, Scandinavian teams are always tricky. And by our displays so far this season, we`d be food and drink for any CL team with some class. The nigh slavic 4-2-3-1 approach backfired again, not least when they sat back like the teams in the Premiership, but with more quality. And with Kent, Tavernier and - dare I say it - Barasic`s crossing and passing that went from mediocre to abysmal, this system has run its course with these players. Hagi and Sakala instantly went on the offensive and caused havoc. You wonder what a Patterson might have done on the right flank. It very much looks like the Kudela Fiasco has hurt us more, with Kamara missing as the focal point in midfield, while Jack is still injured. An evening that ends in agony, not just because of the money lost from the CL, but also because we haven`t evolved or changed from the errors of the last month, and indeed last season. Onto the Europa League ... and truth be told, that is where we belong. The main aim this season needs to be retaining the title and go straight into the CL group phases mext season. Written on the 10th of August ... f@ck me ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The problem with disappointments like this is there’s no escape from it. You’re trapped by your allegiance. All you can do is suffer and hope there’s some relief around the corner. I’m just hoping Gerrard sees the problem because if he doesn’t then things are only going to get worse. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Completely inept. I have seen worse performances, and results -and I really can remember when- but that does not excuse the utterly abject display offered to us, tonight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,255 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 When they went down to ten men we should have made tactical changes to benefit us. We did nothing at all 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
