  1. Second half starting lets see if Livi can ruffle some feathers
  2. Everything Pittman and Shinnie are trying is 5 seconds to late
  3. Livi won't score unless they change their defensive mentality , and get some players with pace on, that don't hide from the ball like Shinnie and Pittman
  4. Has Nouble taken a sleeping pill before the game
  5. Pittman and Shinnie are ghosts in this game , useless
  6. It doesn't matter how well Livingston supposedly played 4-0 is still 4-0.The team looks unbalanced,or is it the system ??? or the type of players???? Although they showed plenty of grit and determination,they still managed to make an arse of passing the ball, constantly giving the ball away, over hitting it, and their first touch hasn't got any better,at the start they should cover their shins with evo-stick,that would teach them the basics... Rangers were poor until the 2nd goal,but Livi have problems with movement in midfield ,the lack of getting the players up the park to support is glaring ,I thought Shinnie done well enough but no pace, Holt was playing too deep, Kelly was terrible, never in the game, Nouble was good first 30 minutes, then never seen, looked burnt out, Martindale waits too long to get Kelly and Nouble off, Sangare was brutal, his replacement Guthrie done well, but he was playing wide left, and most of his work was done along the halfway line, you aint gonna score goals from there. Rangers still managed, to make Livi look like they were 2 men down, Livi just don't have pace in midfield, and rely on Montano, and Nouble to make runs, Nouble's holds on to the ball well enough, but his work rate and ability to get by a player has diminished. Brandon and de Lucas were Livi's best today Kelly's lack of involvement in games, probably has been noticed by Martindale.
  7. Ross County can still catch Livi. Livi will not win again this season Midfielder Andrew Shinnie is keen to use his leadership to help Livingston improve after signing a contract extension at the club. As a 33-year-old, he concedes he might not play every game - but Shinnie still wants to be an “influence” to the younger players in the squad. With Livingston virtually safe from relegation, Shinnie now has his sights on inspiring the squad next season. Must be some kind of windup
  8. Stephen Kelly is not as good as you all seem to think, lacks pace ,and drifts out of games, doesn't do enough going forward, as I've said for a couple of years, Pittman,Holt,Shinnie are simply not good enough, the only 2 players that can run with a ball without losing it are Montana and Nouble, this teams true abilities are starting to show, and definitely will be found out next season, Montano needs to be played further up the park ,he is not a left back Nouble looks burnt out, and off form since he came back from injury. Guthrie won't do next season ,he couldn't hit a barn door Bradley doesn't impress as anywhere near a top flight player Anderson needs support from a winger and midfield and gets none. The defence, What defence, completely needs a rebuild....... Oh The goalkeeper is rotten too
  9. PITTMAN and HOLT won't be missed the next 2 games, Pittman has lost any quality he once had, was good a couple of years ago, does plenty running about without the ball, but watch him when on the ball, he can't control it, pass it, run forward without running into a defender, how he got a new deal is baffling ,trust me Holt is always hacking ,and is a liability, can't pass, when do you ever see him have a decent pass forward or shots without making an arse off it The whole midfield need replaced, trust me. SHINNIE a very very lazy player, brings absolute nothing, his work rate, desire, and inability to do anything good is as clear as day, SEAN KELLY is neither a defender or a midfielder, does nothing, very slow, work rate is poor, you wouldn't know he's on the pitch at times, OMEONGA runs about plenty ,can't control a ball ,can't find a pass absolutely hopeless, trust me, these players are all needing moved on. Take all these creative players out the team Bahamboula,Montano,Devlin,Nouble,and maybe Penrice Livi would be in dire straits, Stephen Kelly looks like the only midfielder that's got any potential
  10. You could see from the first 10 min,there was no believe from the players taking anything from that game So much for Martindale's game plan,10 defenders 1 forward ,ring a ring of roses,why didn't they tackle, sitting back,defending too deep,clearing balls back to the opposition . Time and time again Celtic dragged them all over the place PANIC stations don't pass the ball to me!! These Livi players were absolutely petrified, you'd think they could at least show some fight,giving the ball away continually, Obileye sleeping at the 1 goal Pittman,Holt the 2 Kelly's Penrice,Fizzywater were shockingly bad Hamilton 2/10 Didn't look good Fitzwater 2/10 Very cumbersome looking Obileye 2/10 "Wakey-wakey! Shaun Kelly 2/10 Just does nothing Devlin 5/10 Not great at least tried Pittman 2/10 the whole midfield were non existent Holt 2/10 the whole midfield were non existent Penrice 2/10 Two left backs Longridge 3/10 Two left backs Kelly 3/10 Nouble 6/10 Done well enough up front himself,in hindsight he'd be aswell playing at the back,no way Livi were scoring today Shinnie 0/10 Done great gave away a penalty Omeonga 2/10 Ring a ring a roses Anderson ////
  11. Livi played well 1st half,then ran out of ideas second half,County looked more dangerous in 15min than Livi did the whole game Livi could have played all day and never scored, 3 upfront and still hopeless ,certain players won't shoot when chances appear,take the easy option with a needless pass.The back door was left open too often in the second half,and they were caught out with a good move,Livi didn't have that lethal attacking in them,they ended up being bogged down on the edge of the county box with little idea of how to break them down George 5/10 Nothing to do Devlin 6/10 Obileye 5/10 Needs to do his main job first DEFENDING Kelly 3/10 Does nothing well Montaño 3/10 Very quiet,drifted away Shinnie 0/10 Absolutely hopeless,lazy as feck Holt 6/10 One pass to many Pittman 6/10 Good 1st half,plenty effort,drifted 2nd half Bahamboula 6/10 Very good 1st half, invisible 2nd Guthrie 1/10 Cant take good chances,useless Nouble 6/10 Was better today especially first half, the guy is left to do too much Anderson No effect today Kelly Busy bee done alright Penrice Too late a sub
  12. Poor game, 2 sides full of poor passing,If St.Mirren can play as bad as that and still take the 3 points shows how bad Livi were.Plenty effort from certain Livi players, but too many stray balls You could see Livi were struggling up front, Martindale done nothing about it ,just excepted it until ST.Mirren scored why?? was he playing for a 0-0. All in all Livi probably deserved nothing from this game,too sloppy,to many players of the boil and poor decision making by Martindale....Play for a draw and you usually end up with a defeat.. George 6/10 Devlin 6/10 Obileye 4/10 Kelly 1/10 Never liked him as a player, useless ... Bahamboula 5/10 Has skill, but drifts out games too easily Oméonga 5/10 plenty of effort,no final product Pittman 6/10 Good work rate,needs to concentrate more with the ball Holt 5/10 Played OK,good workrate Penrice 4/10 didn't do enough Nouble 2/10 Off the boil,looks sluggish and burnt out Guthrie 2/10 Done nothing can't see him scoring many Shinnie ---- Never going to score Anderson ---- Couple of chances done well Kelly Never really noticed him
  13. Better performance going forward ,poor first 20 minutes, much better commitment than lately, better tactics overall. Better with Shinnie of the park George 6/10 Nothing to do Devlin 6/10 Obileye 6/10 Kelly 6/10 Holt 5/10 Pittman 7/10 Problem with Pittman he only plays well 1 game every 4 Montaño 8/10 Esmael 3/10 Doesn't look match fit,you can't afford to miss sitters in this league Omeonga 6.5/10 Penrice 6.5/10 Nouble 7/10 Longridge Guthrieat 6/10 Kelly Bahamboulaat 7/10
  14. As usual mistakes every single game,but Livi's performances have been poor,certain Livi fans on here keep praising the players, it seems some of them can do no wrong, in reality most of them are not good enough. BIG problems as an attacking force,the whole midfield are the biggest problem. OMEONGA, when on the ball doesn't know what to do, cant find a player, wont shoot,creates nothing KELLY, Not good enough,Mr invisible,creates nothing,no pace. PITTMAN, Does plenty running,nothing else, struggles to get on the ball,his ball control is not good enough,past his best for this league SHINNE, Absolute hopeless,usually invisible,slow,creates nothing but gets a game every week HOLT, Not at it this season, basically a defender not a midfielder,wont come out his own half,creates nothing, continually fouls George 3/10 Devlin 5/10 Fitzwater 3/10 Good this season,bad mistake today Obileye 4/10 Montaño 5/10 Good in patches,then disappears Holt 3/10 Omeonga 4/10 Kelly 1/10 Shinnie 1/10 Pittman 2/10 Nouble 3/10 Looks jaded last 2 games,better on the wing I wont judge the subs but that Cancar looks a liability
  15. Terrible game to watch,Motherwell were poor but Livingston took poor to another level ,no desire,no thrust,slow,wrong tactics,passing abysmal,Holt,Pittman,Kelly and Shinnie were they playing ?? go with this midfield every week you won't create many chances...very static none of them willing to get in the box,this has been an ongoing problem for a while,Livi play 5 midfielders and none of them are attack minded,Pittman runs about does nothing, looses the ball constantly George 6/10 Nothing to do Devlin 6/10 Plenty of desire Fitzwater 6/10 Steady Obileye 3/10 Not at his best Montaño 4/10 Ok in patches Omeonga 5/10 Plenty of effort,runs around in circles Holt 0/10 Done nothing Kelly 0/10 What does he do, creates nothing Shinnie 0/10 Slow, struggles to even run Pittman 0/10 Invisible as usual Nouble 3/10 No support Esmael Gonçalves 6/10 Done ok Bahamboula 2/10 Mullin -- To late
  16. Livi had 2 winable games to get a top 6 finish and blew it,last game against St.Johnstone was their downfall, a terrible performance,which was the first nail in the coffin,which left a must win today,I have to say they were great for 70 minutes,played Motherwell of the park,then self destructed,Motherwell didn't even deserve a draw. The same old,wrong subs at the wrong time. Obileye is guilty of scuffing clearances to the opposition,and out for corners.He and Fizzywater just don't look strong and commanding at corners. Stryjek needs to take more command of his box at corners,instead of getting boxed in on the goal line. So all in all probably got what they deserved over the 2 games.A bottom six finish. Stryjek 5/10 Get of the goal line ffs Devlin 7/10 Fitzwater 5/10 Questionable strength at corners Obileye 5/10 Lacks concentration at times Penrice 5/10 Holt 6/10 To many passes going astray Pittman 3.5/10 Poor ball control,first touch poor Kelly 5.5/10 Sturdy enough Bailey 6.5/10 Great when on the ball, disappears to easily Nouble 9/10 Forrest 8/10 Shinnie done very little Boyes never noticed him Lewis done ok,not convinced overall
  17. What an useless bunch Livi are,St Johnstone were rubbish and still managed a win.It wouldn't surprise me if St Johnstone catch them.If the Well beat Livi next week,could be heading for the play offs Stryjek 6/10 Devlin 4/10 Fitzwater 3.5/10 Obileye 5/10 Penrice 5/10 Holt 7/10 Pittman 1/10 Omeonga 1/10 Nouble 7/10 Soto 3/10 Forrest 3/10 Kelly Average Shinnie good enough Lewis Rubbish Baily Average
  18. Tactics again baffling today, every single game Livi are overrun in midfield,today were second to every ball in the first Half,the whole defence where shaky Bailey on the wing done nothing,Omeonga has played 2 good games 1 against Hibs the rest he's been shite this season,runs about doing nothing,Pittman has played 2 good games before the defeat to Celtic,and has been anonymous in every other game he's played in,Holts done ok but is defensive minded all his good work is done in his own half.Livi don't have a midfield that can take the game forward in an attacking sense, they rely on the wings too much. Pittman,Omeonga,Baily,Forrest,Holt were all poor, the rest were just as bad
  19. The full Livi defence are shocking,midfield non existent,Omeonga,Pittman Bailey,Holt,Forrest can't get a kick.Omeonga does nothing absolutely rubbish
  20. Martindale's tactics are as much of a problem as some of the players, this 2 wingers and 1 forward, and a hollow midfield is not working, Omeonga does plenty running about ,but when on the ball does nothing going forward. PITTMAN is done at this level was invisible the whole game, and how Martindale doesn't see his input is bewildering. Forrest was very quiet most of the game,and that was noticed in the teams overall performance. Penrice,Holt,Devlin,Obileye,Nouble all put in a good shift Stryjek 6/10 Devlin 8/10 Fitzwater 6.5/10 Obileye 7/10 Penrice 7.5/10 Pittman 1/10 Holt 7/10 Nouble 6/10 Omeonga 4.5/10 Forrest 4/10 Anderson 6/10 Boyes Soto Shinnie 3 subs come on and within 2 minutes,Saints score
  21. Hearts were poor,Livi were very very poor,Livi could have played for a week and never scored, a total snoozefest that was, so who's to blame the players or Martindale, on this occasion both, Tactically the the same old, sitting to deep,the opposition running the midfield, trying to play for penalties. The best for Livi was Penrice.. Holt ,Devlin, Fizzywater, Obileye were Ok, the rest were poor
