Liverpool have as well, they have only got the eight goals today !!!

 

edit.....9 (NINE)

Aye but were they playing Ross County? I'm not scared of Liverpool.

Satisfactory today, no complaints. Great to see Colak continuing to score. Tillman, Kent and Wright were also good today. 

 

Again Scottish refereeing is of such poor quality. VAR will help as long as we have new assistant referees in charge of the analysis. 

 

Another thing...when the game is beyond doubt, shouldn't we be putting players like Sakala in the shop window, as he's clearly not in Gio's plans?

excellent performance today. the overlapping CB's was a joy and i have wanted us to be doing that for years now. Makes so much sense against these shite SPL 11 man defence teams.

Fantastic team effort today.  Everyone worked for each other.  The whole team stood up to be counted.   Best ninety minutes domestically under gio.   He's getting his grip on the side and I can only see us getting better as the games roll by.  Just in time for the mhanks too!

Really went for it from the first minute that has to be how we play from now on.

13 attempts, 5 on target is much better numbers, for 45 minutes.

 

I'm not sure about the xG, though: they're not quality chances.

2.97 vs 0.45

 

Not bad but not a particularly impressive differential at home to Ross County tbh. It’ll be interesting to keep an eye on the xG differential table as it seems to accurately predict the league winner pretty early every season.

He changed it, it worked.

I'd imagine that will be the new template for this type of fixture.

 

Textbook

Two up at HT

Three up after an hour

Get the changes made

 

One slight criticism is that I thought we could have had 5 subs on the pitch by 70-75 minutes.

Pleased with the result & performance although felt we could have scored a couple more goals.

big week ahead before the transfer window closes. Maybe we’ll need to add another forward if Morelos talks don’t work out & are we sufficiently covered at CB ?

 

p.s what was all that about in first half behind Rangers dugout. I’m in SJ rear so didn’t get a good view. Police & medics was it going into crowd?

Some 11 days coming up from the 3/9 to the 13/9.

 

Celtic (A)

Ajax (A)

Aberdeen (A)

Napoli (H)

 

A real quality signing would be welcome before it starts.

 

Completely different starting XI for Queen of the South.

Happy with that today.  Much more like it.  That is what we should be doing to teams like RC at home.  Really good team effort.
