Don't see us winning any to be honest and I hate saying that 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,766 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Aye, Beale has a lot to sort out. If we're any more than 3 points behind after we play that lot then the season will be looking like another nightmare. I don't think any Bears are expecting us to qualify for the CL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we know neither will start Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is beginning to worry me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 4,336 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I'm not overly fussed on the tactics / system / style of play / personnel. I'm more concerned with our slow build up and the fact the players don't seem to want it as much as other teams. We need to go into every game looking like we want to win from the first whistle and play with a high tempo to put teams under the cosh - more domestically than in Europe. We don't do it at all. We look lackadaisical and play a dull, boring and slow type of football. Great managers like Walter Smith and Alex Ferguson famously got 110% out of players. I'm not even sure Beale is getting 50% out of some of these guys. The aggression and hunger Hagi showed today is exactly what we have missed as a team IMO. I'm more concerned about our trip to Dingwall than I am about a trip to Eindhoven. Dingwall is a must win. Eindhoven we are underdogs.

We have 4 wins and two draws against PSV, that makes them the underdogs. MB has to earn his corn, G this team up, pick the right players and give them tactics that make best use of them, not hinder them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched PSV hammer Sturm Graz and they're a good team - quick and clinical. I've watched our competitive matches this season and we're not good - we're slow and don't cause teams enough problems. We are definitely underdogs against PSV. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won 3-1 away to Vitesse Arnhem today. If you think they're underdogs, I doubt you've seen us play this season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it’s all about opinions etc but bookies disagree and strongly favour PSV to qualify. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
