Listen if you have watched Gooldson in the last 5 or 6 games closely he is the man to worry about and I know I am in the minority but the guy does not fill me with confidence very slow in his final pass nearly always getting caught.
Obviously nobody can stop players making mistakes, but if for example,you had someone like Gough playing beside Katic, he would teach him better positional sense and to stop diving in.Is this for real? So we should find a leader who will stop other players making mistakes. Do folk read what they write before they post it? Richard Gough was the greatest captain of my lifetime yet he was part of some of the worst defensive European displays I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Yes it is, but young players always learn from experienced teammates too.Is that not the coaches job?
No but he could stop changing the defense every game! How are we meant to build a settled team when Katic and Worrall are in and out. Flannigan has been rotten for weeks while Halliday hasn't put a foot wrong.
The midfield was rotten surely he can see this? Ryan Jack could of come on and shored up the midfield.
Steven Gerrard is not above critisim!
Your watching so why complain
A Euro defeat was coming, pity it was tonight, we’ll win in Vienna.
A couple?Very proud of the team tonight. Couple of things didn’t go our way.
Statement, going to BT directly, however you meant “call them out”, it’s mental.
We’re all hurting after that shambles tonight but moaning cause Rob MacLean doesn’t sound excited when we score is maniac stuff.
The prick shouldn't be commentating on our matches hes a dirty mentally challenged bastard hes the same every game.
Saving it for a glorious away victory in Vienna
They were in the CL group stage last season.
Liverpool destroyed them, but they still were there.
They ain't shite, you don't get shite teams in the group stages.
Quality analysis
They are absolute toilet, the fact were all on here slating our lot for their performance yet we still scored 3, technically 4, against them in their own midden tells you they are total shite
Villareal are better, Rapid Vienna pumped them 3 nil.....there's 2. They are garbage and any half decent CL side would have had 6 or 7 off them tonight.You keep repeating this. They're not. They're a very decent team with players of a far higher ability than ours.
Which team have we played this season that are better than Spartak?
No he’s not, no manager is but supporters living in a fantasy world are not beyond it either. He should have played Worral, that would have been met with the usual faux outrage but at the moment he looks a far better defender. The fact people are raging about the lack of quality displayed by Flanagan and in the same breath, without any irony, then say Halliday should start is beyond hilarious.
According to a group on here we’ve never played a good team ever. All teams are written off as rubbish. No idea where this idea comes from. Totally bizarre.
We willMight not matter mate if we don’t get at least a point against villareal.
Villareal are better, Rapid Vienna pumped them 3 nil.....there's 2. They are garbage and any half decent CL side would have had 6 or 7 off them tonight.
it would have finished 5-4 ,we still have a team full of bottlersThat was the one. At 4-2 they were finished. Too many refereeing decisions vitally going against us.
The (wrongly) disallowed goal at 3-2 cost us.
If we go 4-2 up just before half time, their heads go down and we win the game imo.
It's a hard one to take but the criticism is way, way OTT.
At the very least a 2 goal cushion for them to even get a draw
When you put it like that it didnt help
Flanagans error for 3rd done us
But they were total shite tonight.That's Villarreal who required a 96th minute to get a point in Moscow.
No one's saying that criticism isn't due on various aspects of tonight's performance. But to continually push the narrative that they are "total shite" is just nonsense.
I don't see the point of singling out individuals.
The defending throughout the whole team (throughout both teams really) was pretty dire and almost every goal came from an error of some sort.
Its true though
He also played a belter of a pass for the goal but i really think we should have brought halliday on at half time
You don't think Tav was at at fault for the third? Well, if you're blaming others and giving him a pass .......Goldson's at fault for a goal, Candeias is at fault for a goal, Flanagan's at fault for a goal, the midfield should shut the boy down quicker for the 4th (and how we lost a goal straight from our kick off anyway I don't know).
I don't think Flanagan's been great recently (hard time vs Mackay Steven at Hampden, Kilmarnock's goal came from Greg Stewart cutting in on to his left foot from the right flank) but defensively it was a bit of a mess and there's no point focusing just on Flanagan imo.
You also have to concede that in Popov, Luiz Adriano, etc Spartak clearly have some good attacking players; certainly better than the standard of player we're used to coming up against domestically.
You don't think Tav was at at fault for the third? Well, if you're blaming others and giving him a pass .......
As the guy is shaping to cross it from our left Tav looks at their 'talisman' who's already scored, sees him and another Russkie in the clear just outside the corner of the six yard box and turns away, ignores them. Ball comes over, the guy who Tav should be stopping getting a jump at the ball has a free header and it's a goal. All he had to do was stop the guy getting a free header.
How many goals do we lose because he can't defend his post?
Andy Halliday this season is 10x the player he was last season for you to not recognize that he's in a good run of form is hilarious!
I appreciate Moscow have a huge budget and a team full of multi million pound players but sometimes in football that doesn't matter they were there for the taking tonight if we had been more solid and compact we could of stopped the two quick goals.
Incorrect callBig call to disallow Morelos perfectly good goal.
4-2 at HT would have been massive for us
