The Ronny Deila Thread

aye he's a complete idiot because we can't take any of our * chances. foolish people

 

I'm embarressed for you......, get a grip son we tore them apart today just lack of finishing let us down we dominated and created plenty of chances.

 

On another day Griffiths scores a hat trick, Ronny isn't at fault for today.

 

Jesus, will be interesting to see the possession percentage. Any team would struggle to break down a team that sits everyone behind the ball! Although our finishing needs to be sharper. Also don't know if anyone noticed that Neilson was constantly in the ear of the 4th official everytime his team committed a foul! That was a hearts team set out to not play the game from the off! Punt the ball and sit in.

 

Maybe ronny should have changed it earlier

 

Wish he would just change the shape we don't need two holding midfielders at home against hearts maybe away in europe but definitely not at home vs spl opposition. Dunno why we don't play 2 up top or even a 4-3-3.

If aberdeen had of won today and we had dropped another 2 behind ronny would be on thin ice.

 

He's a stubborn *.

 

Hearts are the third best team in Scotland, they have player's who can hurt us you can't play one midfielder against three of their's - idiotic to suggest such a thing.

Few mistakes from him today but the result is not his fault, should have at least replaced Lustig with Janko or started Janko he's much more dangerous going forward, Lustig looks scared to run with the ball these days. I'd also have took Commons off for Johansen but I don't think he's happy with Johansen or else im sure he would have been brought on.

 

I thought we played well in the first half, but what worries me is how lethargic we were, and how slow our tempo was in the second half. He needs to have the players rattled at half time even when we are playing well, and demand more from them.

It seemed as though they came out thinking 'We wont really need to step this up, we've had loads of chances already, a goal will come eventually,' and it wasn't good enough.
I know it is difficult against a packed defence, but our players movement needs to be sharper and cleverer in the final third. Was poor today.

 

One step forward two back one up front is * as is constantly passing side to side

 

I've said it before we either win 5-0 or fk it up when it's a tight game. I'm getting fed up with this manager not winning us a game when it's tight E.G good subs or tactics change and for me always plays the same formation so teams know how we're going to play no plan B. Can't be faulted for the players finishing today but he's under pressure now. I wouldn't be sad if he goes.

 

It's hardly Paul Hartley and Barry Robson tied infront of the defence, or Gary Caldwell playing CDM against France. Bitton and Brown alternate and move forward, both had quite a few shots, Bitton was up challenging for crosses before it got really desperate.

Really don't get this two holding midfielders criticism, the biggest teams in the world play with two cm's and one cam.

As for the two up top thing, again as above, some of the biggest teams in the world use one up front. Having two players up front next to each other, and two wingers on either side limits the amount you can move the ball through midfield. You also can't move it side to side, for example if Ciftci and Griffiths started up front, Forrest gets it on the left, you want to move the play to the other side ( cos switching play is a good thing? ) If you only have 2 centre mids not in the box, but also having to provide cover (albeit not a lot in Scotland) you need to go backwards to go to the other side of the pitch, it slows things down. Playing with a CAM lets you link play faster and once it's switched then they can arrive in the box to support the striker. Didn't really happen for Tom Rogic in the second half, but in the first half and last week he showed the value of having someone just in behind the striker.

 

He's not under pressure, there is not a hope in * he'll get sacked. The board aren't thick. We're in a better position just now than we were before the game started...

 

This is the mentality I don't get we've just drew to a team we should beat played poorly in the second half not a standout player in the team but it's painted as a good thing

 

It's definitely not a good thing, but it's also not as bad as you're making out.

 

At the end of the day we gained a point today on Aberdeen. End of. Move on.

 

He is. Aberdeen lost today to help him out. but had they won we would have been 7 PTS behind.

 

It's not a one off thing though that makes it worse as well

 

These kind of results have happened for years and years, Lennon definitely had some patches like this, especially in his first two seasons.
