Bill 13,717 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm beginning to think we have a manager who talks about what we must do better and then picks the same players and adopts the same tactics as before ... and players who talk about what they need to do better but then go out and do the same again. You can hear it in their voices - they perform to the press better than they're performing with the ball. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 4,221 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Massive 3 points here for us in Aberdeens final game of the season. We need to want it more than them. Do that and we will win. I'd go ------------McGregor----------- Tav--Goldson--Balogun--Bassey ---------Jack--Lundstram------ Aribo-------Ramsey--------Kent -------------Morelos------------ Edited March 4, 2022 by Sutton_blows_goats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go ------------McGregor----------- Tav--Goldson--Balogun--Bassey ---------Jack--Lundstram------ Aribo-------Ramsey--------Kent -------------Morelos------------ I'd make 2 changes. We definitely need a goalie who's more willing to dominate his six yard box in the air and I feel Joe Aribo has been needing a rest since he returned from whatever they were doing in Africa. The defence picks itself and I agree the midfield pairing of Jack and Lundstram is essential, with Kamara dropping out. ------------McLaughlin---------- Tav--Goldson--Balogun--Bassey ---------Jack--Lundstram------ Sakala-------Ramsey--------Kent -------------Morelos------------ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,251 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Dunno whether you do the line-up on a smart phone, but if you use a PC, you find small icons above the text field, the three next to A align the text where you want it. I reckon Aberdeen will want to spoil the party and make a fist of it, not least with the Legoeater in there and Ferguson, Bates and McCrorie willing to break their necks. Anyways, my line-up wouldn`t be too many miles off the above, since we need some grit midfield and pace up front. I doubt we will see Ramsey from the off, but likewise hope we won`t have Kamara in some make-shift attacking slot. Both Jack and Lundstram can find players, so just go for it ... McLaughlin Tavernier - Goldson - Balogun - Bassey Sakala - Jack - Lundstram - Kent Morelos - Roofe I would actually put Helander and Balogun into the CH positions, but I doubt Goldson will be dropped unless he`s injured ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,150 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 For us these days this seems to be a difficult ninety minutes and if our defence can't get their act together then it will be costly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think GvB rates s number of the players he’s inherited hence why so little change in team selections and also during games 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need an expensive management team to continue doing things that generally fail. You and I could take week-about to do that ourselves. Besides, that would be a tough call when he's got essentially the squad that ran away with the league last season, so there's really no credible argument that he doesn't have the players.
