Match Thread St Johnstone v Rangers - 12:15 Sunday - BTSports

[Coza]

What’s Pena upto? Get him on

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Wouldn't put Worrall in my subbuteo team

Fucking rank rotten

 

[DC Anchor]

Once again we look to an 18 year old boy to save us. And if he doesn’t this place throws him under the bus.

Shameful.

it reeks of a lack of Plan B

poor quality players aside, we should be playing better than we are

 

[sifter]

Can't score from open play. Says it all about the formation

 

[Art Corvelay]

Get the ball wide...cross.

Tedious and a poor reflection of the coaching staff if this is really all we have.

Like watching a Davie Moyes team at times.

 

[Ibrox Bear]

Our defence is shaky enough, now the sun is against us.

 

[GBTQ]

Middleton 1 v 1 with Ricky foster....passes inside. That’s the difference with their wingers and ours Forrest takes his man on at every opportunity we hide and take the easy route.

 

[White Cafu]

Candieas needs to get his finger out as well, he’s not shown any quality for ages

 

[Chastu]

coulibally is the main problem in midfield he actually achieves f uck all

 

[CoolBilly23]

Middleton done more than Grezda already.

 

[TimzRFudz]

3-5-2 this getting into dangerous positions and having no one to htnothet than Morelos marked by 3 guys is patently absurd.

Slot Wallace in beside the two CBs

Tav - DC - McCrorie - Halliday - Middleton

Alfie and Lafferty up top.

Just fucking go for it. This lot will sit in now. Playing 4 at the back and 3 in midfield is cowardly.

 

[DavieCooperNo1]

If this stays the same then killie are level on points and aberdeen 1 point better. Let that sink in. Garbage

 

[Amato Turn]

I fucking hate Stephen Craigan btw.

 

[Airplane]

We won’t win this game

 

[sifter]

What’s Pena upto? Get him on

Would he really be any worse than what we've seen this season!!

 

[chrisgers]

im not sure he knows how to, or more to the point has the personnel to do so

Does he have the personnel to stick with it. The midfield is a complete wasteland

 

[Its-Sebo]

Where the fück has the confidence/edge gone

 

[BWO]

What’s Pena upto? Get him on

There’s actually a genuine case for this, that’s how bad it is.

 

[borderbear]

Head down, aimless ball into box, repeat for 90 minutes.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

it reeks of a lack of Plan B

poor quality players aside, we should be playing better than we are

As mentioned above.

All that will change here is instead of Grezda putting in aimless crosses, it’ll be Middleton putting in aimless crosses.

 

[Butterbean]

Our defence is shaky enough, now the sun is against us.

At least that’ll give them an excuse.

 

[The Lone Ranger]

People asking for "Gerrard out" need their heads looked at, a blind man can see the players are at fault here!

They are both equally to blame
Man for man we are better than them, if the manager cant beat theirs then he needs questioned just as much as the players.

 

[wilso10]

I'm a little confused after hearing SG's post match comments mid week that he expects the same level of performance from his team yet today has made at least 2 or 3 changes to the side.

Surely we need some consistency and stability in our team selection?

 

[Maweepaljoe]

People asking for "Gerrard out" need their heads looked at, a blind man can see the players are at fault here!

So anyone can be manager then? When you're shite you just say it's no ma fault it's the players (who I signed/picked

 

[Calico Jack]

This isn,t a squad that is having a mare,it,s a squad who have no clue what the f uck they are doing and same goes for the management.Just f ucking clueless.

That's not true bud and you know it.

We started the season bursting with energy and full of self belief, over the past two months teams have found out that an 8 man defense bogs us down.

We need to be sharper on our feet, quicker movements MF to top and more instinctive passing in the final 3rd.

 

[Kingdom Bear]

We are just an average top 6 team and that’s it ... nothing more

 

[Chastu]

They are winning every 50/50 challenge

 

[the_baron]

Ball out to the wing, cross to nobody. repeat x 1000.

 

[BucksBear]

Another game where we could play all day and not score

 

[Earl of Leven]

Anyone reckon he's still the Scouse Pep?

I await the "context" comments.

Turgid shite and no change since 1-1 draw against Hamilton in August 2016. More money, higher wages, still crap.

 

[Damsidebear]

People asking for "Gerrard out" need their heads looked at, a blind man can see the players are at fault here!

Some are Gerrards singing though.....grezda £2 million!!!?? Mental waste of money.

 

[Butcher6]

Half hearted tackles from us we are awful.

 

[Marlo Stanfield]

coulibally is the main problem in midfield he actually achieves f uck all

He is an absolutely dreadful footballer. Sadly we have a ton of injuries and Gerrard is utterly tied to this formation.

 

[RangersIsTheName]

If Morelos doesn't get the ball and create a chance out of nothinh by beating a few players, we look completely devoid of ideas.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

the changes were enforced, pay attention

 

[gersfanal]

Goldson is absolutely chronic when played left side. The only cb who looks in the slightest bit able to play there is the one that our manager refuses to play. the only thing saving Goldson from more criticism is the fact that Worrall is worse.

CG having started as RCB with Katic in the early days of the season has been shunted to LCB to accomodate Worral and McAuley. CG is nowhere near as effective on the left.

 

[Cyberniv]

No change. Goldson first pass to them.
Dwelling on the ball, hiding, hitting the first man, pressing almost token gestures, powder puff tackling. All in the first 3 minutes of the second half.

 

[sportssocks]

Goldson is a completely different player alongside Niko and McAuley.

It's ridiculous just how ill at ease the back four are playing alongside Worrall.

I'm sorry but he's the absolute root of our defensive mishaps.

I really hope he is recalled in in january, we'd still have to find a replacement but is he any better than the rangers youths? Bates was a better player than him

 

[Brant Hurley]

Here is a scary thought. Out-thought by Tommy Wright. Tommy Wright!

 

[Stu_m85]

Wow Coulibaly. Just wow.

 

[blue barney]

They look more committed, more aggressive and up for it than us. And that is a disgrace considering the wages they get and the jersey they are wearing.

 

[Brian_Fantana]

These loan players are killing us all over the park

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

get yersel tf ya clown, people need to realise a game is 90min and a season is 38 games ffs support the team for the full game & season or gtf

Motherwell, Killie, Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee, St. J all taking points off us for %^*& sake. Let that settle in before coming the shite about a full season and 90 minutes. We are going backwards at a rate of noughts after a bright start which looks increasingly due to the initial inspirational impact of a world class player coming in. Adding the fact he managed to pull off the masterstroke of bringing in Shagger. As without him, the one saving grace of the European run wouldn't of happened.

We're toothless, feckless, one dimensional with a manager who has no idea how to change things. He's a failed youth manager who talks a good game.

 

[georgedoors]

The old halliday we have seen so many times has resurfaced.

 

[BWO]

Wow Coulibaly. Just wow.

Channelling his inner Kerkar

 

[dh1963]

Still slow and predictable

 

[Hammerinho]

Our domestic away form is a joke.

 

[JD1872]

Coulibaly is a waste of space

 

[Themaruso]

So what's changed since half time Gerrard .. apart from a like for like sub

 

[Dado's Bandage]

Slot Wallace in beside the two CBs

Just fucking go for it. This lot will sit in now. Playing 4 at the back and 3 in midfield is cowardly.

All you’re doing is moving bodies about, that has no impact on the performance. Who creates chances in that formation? The idea that we change shape and suddenly we become a winning team is nonsense. Average players playing poorly is the issue not how they are set up.
