Cptn Hooch Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 If you haven't seen it, go watch his goal against Hearts for us when we beat them 5-0. It's utterly hilarious, he genuinely will make fans panic when he's on the ballHis goal is around the 3.30 mark...I still laugh that he has two team mates open in front of him who have a tap in and he does a 180 and goes the other way [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Menga's role in our 18/19 season goes a bit underappreciated, for me. He arrived fully fit having just left Charlton and he gave the team an enormous lift with his energy from the off. He was hugely important in that early season run of wins and draws which created an initial platform for what the team has done in the subsequent seasons. That coming back into the Premiership with a bang was so important psychologically for the club and Menga played a role in it. We all remember the fat waste of space he was when returning from his Angola stint but his 18/19 contribution was as vital as it was enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothiangamer Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 As has been said about Menga, They reason defenders panicked a bit with him is you didn't know what he was going to do next...the reason was he didn't know what he was going to do next. Still love him for the goal against Rangers at Almondvale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely gutted about the season ticket numbers if accurate, and no reason to think it couldn't be. Hearing him say we were at 1200 a few seasons ago why on earth have we lost almost 400 season ticket holders the last few years when we are doing so much better. I wonder if we lost that amount last season and some have not renewed yet, waiting to see how things go this season. Hopefully get at least another 600 -700 through the gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he gave us an out ball, bullied defenders with his power and big arse, and was relentless driving forward, i loved him that first season with us. Used to find it hilarious watching defenders faces when they caught up with him, thinking he'd turn back and pass it to someone, only for him to just burst forward again, and again if they managed to catch up with him a 2nd time. You could almost see them thinking, oh for fucksake he's going again. Would be a brilliant signing for Accies in the Championship, total maniac with the ball at his feet, and must put fear into defenders seeing him on a run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Shinnie, Kabia, Montano, and Lewis all missing today. Makes the Mullin loan look a bit weirder for me, surely could have waited a week or so until we had at least one of our other options back for the bench? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Now see we're apparently in for a winger from Birmingham - Odin Bailey on loan. There better be another defender on the radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Whole team with the exception of Longridge did really well today. Longridge absolutely stinking but I'll put that down to Martindale having such a threadbare squad to choose from and having to bring him back too fast. Not convinced by Kelly either, should have had a lot more composure rather than booting the ball away when he was under no pressure. Gutted for Stryjek who looked completely assured until 94th minute. Even Sarkic had a shocker against Motherwell so hoping that's his one for the season out the way. Didn't deserve to lose and the performance was extremely encouraging. With a bit more quality in the crucial moments, we would have scored 3 and won the game comfortably.

Longridge made one bad mistake but was decent enough today. The whole team looked much better, Hamilton was encouraging when he came on too. Thought Fitzwater was superb but Bruce Anderson was my MOTM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I really don’t see where the goals are going to come from. We can’t build up the play well enough, we can’t get Anderson into the right places and Hamilton doesn’t have the pace to run in behind. We really need to switch up these tactics again and find something that works, fast. I’m not all that convinced based on the game today that we are all that good. Thought we were lucky to be 1-0 up at HT and once Aberdeen got their stuff together we were on the ropes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree totally on Longridge, he almost lost the ball in his defensive corner twice in the first half then probably should have been sent off for two extremely cynical pullbacks in the second half. Looked well of the pace. Fitzwater was immense. My man of the match. Edited August 8, 2021 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 We were easily the better team in the first half; was slow to start for the second half (schoolboy error) but other than that it was pretty even in the second half. How we managed to pick up seven yellow cards to go with the five we picked up lst week and yet neither of our opposition have picked up a single card? A sore as the manner of the loss is; I'm more concerned on how this will impact Max. hopefully he'll be able to pick himself up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrutinizer Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Poor display from both teams Livi plenty of energy but no quality, continual fouling, giving the ball away, again ball control and passing was shocking. This team has no decent midfielders,lack of players willing to run from midfield Longridge,Fizzywater,Pittman,Holt,Penrice,Reilly,Hamilton,Kelly,Sibbald,all look to be struggling at this level. I said 1 or 0 points in their first 6 games,and I'm not often wrong,it's heading that way..... Stryjek 3/10 Devlin 4/10 Obileye 4/10 Fizzywater 3/10 Longridge 2/10 Pittman 3/10 Holt 2/10 Penrice 3/10 Sibbald 2/10 Anderson 5/10 Forrest 5/10 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered because for the first half we were repeatedly giving Gallagher a torrid time on the left wing. Time and again we were creating chances for ourselves. Was disappointed by Hamilton's real lack of pace; playing in a partnership with Anderson and utilising his pace will likely be the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
