Is Walter too Defensive in Europe ?

I seem to remember a barrel-load of attacks and chances... In fact we had about three times the chances than in the 3-0 win over Lyon.

It's a long season and we are getting the results while not playing at our best...mark of champions so they say

Too defensive in games against average European opposition like Panathinaikos and occasionally versus the likes of Hibs and the Celtc.

Last time I checked we'd one our last 3 Old Firm games, scoring 9 losing 0

Fair point.

There is no doubt about it, he sets the stall out not to lose games and relies on our better players having enough to create something in the 90 mins that will win us the game - and its working.

 

Against Celtic is a different matter - he just knows how to win these games.

Fair point.

 

Scoring 6 losing 0 is it not?

 

Celtic 0 - 1 Rangers (Ehiogu)

Rangers 2 - 0 Celtic (Boyd, Adam)

Rangers 3 - 0 Celtic (Novo, Fergie, Novo)

 

Makes no difference Stewarty, we get what you mean.

Cheers. Coisty was on being interviewed by Chick Dung on Radio Scotland before last nights match and was defending the selection of McCulloch in the lone strikers role by saying that he played the role excellently well (or words to that effect) in the Scottish Cup tie against Hibs. Now, I wasn't at the game but I watched it on TV and it safely goes down as one of the most turgid peformances of the season in my book. Far too defensive against a team struggling in the SPL and a team to whom we should never ever play with one up front unless we have the biggest injury and suspension crisis in the history of football.

oops pressed the wrong key on the number pad

He is right to be cautious against the bigger sides but Pana are no better than ourselves and we should have had a go at them

 

Disagree with this. We had totally nothing to lose in Barcelona, we should have had a go at them instead of lying down and rolling over. Against stuttgart at home and away we only took them on when we went behind. He was too defensive last time round and a leopard can't change his spots.
