Ange Postecoglou

The reality is he might never get all his players back at the same time. That's football. If we are still sitting in 3rd/4th place going in to December and he's only had half a squad to pick from no one will care. I'm almost certain there will be very few still wanting to give him time.

 

Was saying the same thing..

We had 3 available left back's unless Boli was injured and yet we only have 2 right back's, yet he played 1 of them at left back..

Then when he does have to make an enforced change, he goes with Montgomery over Scales which was also another murder call..

Scales in his short appearance looked perfect for yesterday, for threats at set pieces and how composed he looks on the ball/coming in to central midfield..

Baffling..

 

Yeah I really don't get what he's doin with the LB position. He brings Boli in from Siberia to play in a tough away game. The guy has never had a sniff, most people thought he was done, yet he plays him ahead of Montgomery and Scales. Ok, fair enough but then he's not see again!! 2 games later Boli is gone, Montgomery and Scales binned for a RB playing out of position. Madness and worrying.

 

Postecoglou clearly isn’t the messiah that a lot of his Aussie fanboys claimed he was.

 

Ajeti was in the back pocket of a 16yo CB.

I’m disappointed with how this season is going but I do feel a bit sorry for Ange. Tap in for Ajeti yesterday and a tap in for Eddy v Rangers, and we probably aren’t having any of these conversations.

 

Uh oh, it's turning sour in here..

October is going to tell us a lot about the manager and this team, it's massive.

 

It's a real concern how many diddies like Holt, Halliday and Pawlett are making a mug of us in the middle. It isn't surprising though because of our lack of mobility and dig in there. Then no marks like Nicky Clark and Andrew Shinnie running our backline ragged..

Put it this way, Hibs would've wiped the floor with us yesterday and everyone knows it..

 

* *, did not know that he was only 16. Credit to him but aye Ajeti should really have bullied him about in that case. Bossed off a 16 year old CB. Pathetic.

 

He proper brushed him to the deck second half by the dug-out as well

An actual joke of a number 9..

 

You could have pep as manager we are still in the Same situation no midfielders or strikers on the bench that's what's unacceptable and that's on the board not the manager .

 

Its the same for anyone picking the ball up in defence and looking forward. The defenders are getting a lot of grief but the lack of movement ahead of them is shocking. No one wants the ball. McGregor will take the ball with his back to goal and offer himself but no one else wants to.

 

Remember that whole " we keep moving, we don't stop. If the opposition want to stop we'll take advantage" thing?

All starting to look like a lot of * now.

 

4-1-4-1

 

I did but I wasn't sure if I was going batshit crazy

It's like no one wants the responsibility of receiving the ball. Which is pathetic to see from footballers regardless of level tbh.

 

That's not new, nobody has been showing for throw ins since at least Rodgers days. Flashbacks of Tierney just holding the ball over his head with a blank look in his face as everyone hides behind an opposition player.

Set pieces in general, we had that brief 2/3 month period when Julien came in and started scoring corners but other than that we've been hopeless for ages.

Hard to look by guys like Kennedy who have 'coached' the team the entire time without ever improving it in any noticeable way. Whole backroom staff needs replaced. If there's even anyone left to fire, we get barely any coverage of training infact the only time it's mentioned is managers telling us actually we haven't been doing any because of the fixture schedule.

Shambles.

 

The opposition in the league this season is * including that rancid mob, so we should be doing way better. I think he will get it right, but even with the injuries it’s currently not good enough. Luck hasn’t been on his side (hitting the bar 3 times yesterday), another injury etc but must do better and soon.

 

That didn't even last a month. We don't play as a team at all.

 

We've been brutal at throw ins for years now. Tierney holding on to it for 30 seconds. Lustig foul throwing it every time but somehow managing to get away with it.

Some people slag it off but having a throw in specialist coach would make a massive difference. The numbers already back up how beneficial they are.

Too forward thinking for us, though.
