We do that every single game. It's going through the motions of closing players down, we are so easy to play against it's ridiculous. Celtic players able to pick their passes under absolutely no pressure, yet the other way around we are shanking passes all over the place, barely able to string 3 passes together. It is an absolute shambles and just about every single one of them should be ashamed to call themselves football players because they just simply aren't. We have a team of guys that can run about, that's about it, and they aren't event very good at that.
We are excellent at passing it backwards under any sort of pressure and jogging.
Tbh, did you expect anything different from them? I'm pretty sure almost to a man we seen this game play out exactly as it did. Only thing that was missing was the goal in the first few minutes. And they nearly did get that as well.
Raskin at least got a bit of a dig in at McGregor a couple of times. Pass marks for that at least, showing a bit of fight and disrespect to that lady's front bottom. The rest of them are all pals with them and patting their backs and helping them up like they are scared of them and don't want to anger them.
Agree with this, many will say it’s due to quality but as a bare minimum you have to make yourself hard to play against, we don’t we just stand off and let them play
Mate Lundstram was a disgrace. Watch him at both their goals.
The jarring thing about that statement there is that our own captain has already said those exact words himself in the matchday programme 2 years ago, should've been chased there and then.
We need to get a handful of the best young Scottish players in the squad next season.
Kyogo should have scored on the first chance. It was a good save from Butland. I thought when I saw it the first time that lazy defending had left him wide open for a pass. But to be fair our defenders were not that far away and he took it very quickly. Their first goal though our defenders were too casual/ left too much space and we got burned for it.
I think it was both, you don't need quality to track a run
Exactly this - it’s just lazy fan punditry along with people “downing tools” , “chucking it” etc.
What level of ability do you need to have to be able to close a man down or to attempt a tackle?
Correct, if we continue with that squad of players we are in trouble.
“Phoning it in” - missed that one on my bingo sheet.
Can you really say those players gave it everything and left that pitch knackered and couldnt have done anymore?
For their actual current levels of fitness/sharpness? Yeah they probably did.
So he’s basically admitting he picked the wrong team, and not the first time he’s said this in an interview
