Bairnardo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I don't mind the build up starting at the back, but see when you've took too long and they have elected to press right onto us, you have to do something different. We don't have anyone with the talent to beat a press so if they do press, go over the top. It's really that fucking simple and the goal was absolutely coming. United started to go man for man 2 or 3 passages before it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get Henderson on second half if hes fit enough for 30 mins or so. McGinn doesn't have the legs to find space to turn and go forward and Lawal doesn't have the brain to do it. Fucking about yet again. Massive step backwards from Saturday against opposition not any better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawal is not a midfielder in the traditional sense. He needs to be allowed to play between the lines and be tasked with less of the disciplined stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point you look at the channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 McGinn and Lawal off and Henderson and Miller on. That needs to be the changes. Worrying lack of pace in this team. Dundee United are muck, but currently we are worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 McGinn = done. Comedy goal aside (the worst we've ever conceded as a football club?) we've done ok. United look pretty shit considering they are the bookies favourites for the championship this season. Need to get ourselves together if we are going to get the point we need 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Don't buy this don't care where the goals come from argument. We need a proven goalscorer, yet again. Midfield not working. Mcginn is a super footballer but just doesn't have the legs now. Weve lost confidence since they scored. Our goalie has been out best player, been excellent. The good news is United arent great, were only one behind and it's a cup game with nothing to lose. Kitchen sink second half please 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get ourselves together if we are going to get the point we need I think Saturday was even worse. We lost a player who could be useful tonight and even left a Partick a huge gap to hammer the ball into the net…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkirkBairn2021 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 McGinn has been terrible. Wonder if now playing at the back as part of a centre 3 would be his only possible role. We are badly short of a striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He watched Tony Watt slip and fall on his arsenright in front of him then gave him a free kick. Missed a couple of really obvious 2 handed shoves in the back, let Fotheringham take about 15 minutes to get off the pitch, and pulled Yeats up delaying a quick throw in for absolutely no reason I could see.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Il say it in case no one else wants to.... Nesbitt would suit this better than Lawal tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m far from convinced with the quality we have going into the season. Very early doors so hopefully we’ll improve a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
