I'll disagree with you on that one. I felt he was poor after Christmas again last season. Far from his best at least. His movement and sharpness in front of goal has not been good enough since end of 2020 for me.9 months?.
That’s just not true, he was very good in the second half of last season. Admittedly has been poor the past couple of months.
Neither am I - he plays in the same position as our captainNot surprised to the Patterson AGAIN on the bench.
Let's hope so, we just have far to many players in the squad that don't have any real pace. Something we really need to address over the next few transfer windows.What the lad is saying is correct though.
Form wise, it might be totally different.
It is totally different.
It’s up to those players to make it different again, only a positive difference.
Don't know whether a huge Europa game is the one for redemption with some of them.Fs, you lot are a doom and gloom bunch, judge that team selection after the game... clearly GIO and the coaching staff know better than us. While I agree some players need dropped tonight is a chance for them to reset and show the new gaffer why he's made the right choice in starting them. Back yer team
Hagi right of Morelos?Surprised by Hagi's position, as I can't remember the last time didn't play out of position, Arfield on the bench and Morelos not on the bench.
There’s a difference between questioning and hysterical, I am questioning it myself.Aye cause no other sets of fans questions a line up having knowledge of how the players are performing?
If not.The first 15 minutes will show if raging Alf is back or the half arsed one from the last while.
But Morelos couldn't move on Sunday?People want change for change sake.
You're underestimating what a word can do in someone's ear.
what about those wanting a small change?folk wanting wholesale changes are nuts
The line-up isn't a surprise. It will be interesting to see how quickly Gio changes things, though, if it isn't going well.
He's trusting them. I hope they respond for him (and us, of course).
2-0 win.
It’s not the wrong way to go.Wrong way to go, if that's really his thinking which would be a concern.
Barisic is left side only, isn't he?I would prefer bassey lb and barisic lcb from that line up
Not wholesale, but Morelos and tav were simple changes for off form playersfolk wanting wholesale changes are nuts
Not surprised to the Patterson AGAIN on the bench.
He is injured.
I wouldn't have dropped Tav. Patterson can play out of position and he proved multiple times he can make it work.Neither am I - he plays in the same position as our captian
It’s honestly mental mate. You have posters making rational objective comments about the Paedos game in the other thread, other mentalists calling people out for “kissing their arses”, and then in here you have people slating GVB before a ball has been kicked!!Judging by the tone of this thread we've already lost the game.
The B team guys at the weekend got slated for just going with the experienced guys, and what happened. At some point the underperforming experienced guys need to sit a few out. Imo.Surprisingly negative thread given it’s Gio’s first match in charge.
I know social media is a bit of a shambles at times but Gio hasn’t even been in charge of us for a single match and the negativity on here is genuinely alarming.
Gio has gone for experience in this line up, that’s to be completely expected in the context of
‘a’ his first game that’s
‘b’ also at home and
‘c’ in a European competition.
Bit OTT they have loads of first team players playing.Lyon with the reserves out as predicted.
He was playing at the weekend. Maybe picked up a knock, as he isn't long back.McLelland didn’t play for the B team yesterday, presume he’s injured. Good to see King involved again though.
Switch bassey and barisic i think it could workBarisic is left side only, isn't he?
Has he played at CB beforeBassey at CB is a worry but the defence has been a worry the whole season so far. Have to remember he has only had a couple of training sessions with the players. People expecting whole sale changes were always going to be disappointed although I am surprised Morelos starts.

GVB doesn't have a magic wand he's stuck with what he he's inherited until JanuaryDon’t know what people were expecting. He said we would see a change in style. He didn’t say I’m gona bin off the first 11
