Match Thread Celtic v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[Teddypicker87]

I genuinely think this is as good as this side can play with the ability on the park

 

[Gameboy]

We need to change the shape, the midfield isn’t going anywhere near enough to the defence nor Dessers

 

[Javi]

Cantwell for Lawrence, and sterling into midfield please Phil, and ridden on asap as borna is getting turned inside out

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Lawrence really has to do more. He is so sloppy with his use of the ball.

Everybody is rushing too much.

 

[devilman]

Dessers positional sense, his movement and awareness of where the ball is going to land is absolutely abysmal. Gives the other players absolutely no option then just doesn't move in the right direction.

 

[delboi]

Just standing watching them walk right through us

Silva switched off and didn't follow Johnston

 

[JS_11]

Silva and Lawrence the emptiest of jerseys here

 

[Clearview]

Superb from Jack Butland

 

[The Blue Lamp]

Our players just standing like statues when they get around our box. Only a matter of time if that keeps up. Lundstram hiding behind our cbs.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Our biggest issue is Silva allowing players run off him as they invariably collect the ball 10 yards ahead of him.

 

[butch70]

Our passing is hurried and horrendous

 

[The Canny Man]

Dessers looks knackered, Davies has started well

He’s not knackered he’s just hopeless

 

[Joekerr]

This is murder, how is Barasic just backing off repeatedly. Nothing sticking up front for us. The quality we have available is poor..roll on the summer changes!

 

[LJ50]

Not sure exactly what people are seeing (or not) that gets these reactions. He's been patrolling where he's supposed to be, same as Lawrence who has sat on McGregor like people wanted someone to do.

I think it's just people who think Sterling should be in both of those midfield positions at once.

I think the problem is that they’re in the areas, but being passed around like traffic cones.

 

[Corkie]

Take MC Gregor out the game and they're fuqed

 

[Homelander]

Lawrence, Dio, dessers and Tav have been so so bad

 

[Damsidebear]

That's pish Tav

 

[Goity]

Dessers never moves or anticipates, constantly look for the ball to be played to his feet. God awful.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Woeful pass Tav

 

[fyo-von-bluenose]

Butland digging us out again, they seem to walk the ball into great positions every game we play against them

Today it's mostly Silva not tracking his men.

 

[Kentbear]

Our final pass is shite.

 

[delboi]

Our passing in the final 3rd is abysmal

Silva and Lawrence are unbelievably wasteful with the ball

 

[sofakineazy]

No one marking the wee diver in the centre again

 

[SATM33k]

We need to change the shape, the midfield isn’t going anywhere near enough to the defence nor Dessers

Lundstram for McAusland and move Sterling into the middle needs to happen at half time.

 

[j1mgg]

Why are we not going to them, letting McGregor run a third of the pitch.

Silva is isn't getting involved in back tracking.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

We're so wasteful in possession and it's hurting us.

 

[andyb1776]

We need to get our passing moving alot quicker and more accurate, pressure their full backs. Our midfield are all passengers in this game, no fight in them .

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Dessers is a total waste of a jersey here … he’s helping no one up there

 

[BlueBougie]

Dessers is starting to boil my piss here. No making the runs that he should be making.

 

[Unicorn]

Dessers is so frustrating. Constantly on his heels and never anticipates anything.

 

[BODiE]

Are our players colour blind

Can't pass to each other

 

[The Doctor]

Dessers is a man short right now, he doesn't anticipate anything

 

[wee_bear]

This front 4 look like they rarely play together

 

[sonofbunk]

That pass from Tav summed up the midfield.

3 players all close together but not really taking responsibility to get the ball

 

[Damsidebear]

Ffs

 

[BagoBorealis]

I genuinely think this is as good as this side can play with the ability on the park

Ridvan and Sima on the pitch with sterling in the middle we’d be ahead.

Silva seems to have the measure of fish face now though.

 

[douzpwa]

Ffs pass to thin air

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

Just %^*& off man.

 

[Ian1872]

It's been coming. %^*& off.

 

[Stevie13000]

Goal was coming

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

Fs

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Aw FFS!

 

[GeeSpot]

Silva is a man doubt when they have it.

Causing no end of problems when he has it though. By far our biggest threat so far.

Rest of the midfield fairly invisible. And there we go, fucked it now.

 

[Puggy]

Been coming.

 

[Blue-Knows]

That's been coming. As usual, plenty standing around watching the ball.

 

[cambie gers]

FFS

 

[Macdonsj]

And there it is

Run not covered
Midfield watching

 

[UpperDeaconsbankLoyal]

How much room do you need for a shot? There you go!

 

[LJ50]

Fucking criminal defending again. Three players he just strolled past to receive an easy pass.

Fucking abysmal.

 

[BODiE]

Terrible defending again

That is poor from Lawrence, Barisic, and Davies
