Two years on the bounce the team has collapsed after travelling abroad on the winter break.
Inflexible tactics.
Failure to learn lessons from last year.
Kilmarnock manager stating he knows how we play and that we panic if we cant break a team down. A guy who has been a manager for less time than Gerrard.
Multiple occasions of setting the team up incorrectly, which has to be salvaged by second half substitutes.
Finishing games strong, only to then revert back to tactics that got us into trouble the next game.
Multiple occasions of centre half chopping and changing.
Appointing Tav captain.
Taking us from a winning position against St Johnstone changing the team and losing momentum in the game.
Reliance on favourites.
Players do not en masse just start not performing. Not unless there is something that causes it.
By the book substitutions that dont always seem to reflect how the game is going.
On course to finish no better off than last year.
Out thought tactically by:
Mcinnes (multiple times)
Stand in Killie manager
Tommy Wright
Stendl
Jack Ross
This is a second season coaching team. Who have been given plenty resources to know the league and compete.
Now keep in mind, you asked me to elaborate on negatives, so it will obviously come across as anti Gerrard. I will keep supporting the team and the players. I could make a list of positives, but you didn't ask for that.
