Its been obvious for a long time we need a big striker who doesn't need to be anything but has the ability to shoot on sight and actually get the shot somewhere in between the goals. How many chances in the box did Hendry or May actually get today? We don't create anything for the strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 36 minutes ago, Mr Positive, sometimes. said: Kane rested, injured or suspended today? Back for Thursday the manager says but Wotherspoon's isolation won't be up. Should maybe get Brendan Rodgers to take a look at him and tell us if he's been in contact with the contagious version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh*teAndMuck Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) A striker won’t solve all our problems if we play like today. We’ve totally changed from passing the ball around comfortably on the flanks etc and not creating enough, to punting it from back to front and creating even less. We also look more likely to give away an easy goal and are collectively more hesitant when we do get a chance in front of goal than ever. How many times did we dither and let their defenders get blocks in? And the tactically aware manager puts big Rooney up front for a fair portion of the game. Wtf was that? If LASK had anyone watching that they won’t believe their luck they’ve to play us on Thursday. Note - these are observations from today’s game only. Hope it was a one-off cos it’s given me the fitba depression. Edited August 15, 2021 by Sh*teAndMuck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On LASK, and I know nobody will believe me now, but the boy who scored today for them (Mischorl) is their man guy in the middle of the park based on numbers. Looks like if we can somehow take him out the game then we'd stand a good chance of stunting them. Goiginger seems their most dangerous attacker. They've also lost their best CB from last season as he was only on loan, so have shunted their RCB into the middle CB position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The number of goals we are conceding is also worrying 1 against Motherwell 5 against Galatasaray over 2 legs 2 against Arbroath. What doesn’t concern me is the goals conceded, Galatasaray were there for the taking but we’re clinical and able to step up when needed. 1 against Motherwell was a lack of concentration but the game should’ve been dead and buried by then. Whilst I didn’t catch today’s game I know we should’ve ended it. Whilst last season we knew one goal would end games for us we now need to be stepping up and finishing ties off. There’s still 34 league matches to go. We’ll be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I've got a really bad feeling about LASK. We're great against teams who we can force into wider positions and offering no space inside, but they just look direct and much more physical/fast than our defenders so we might not get a chance for the back three to be settled and organised. Not a chance Liam Craig can start this one, we can't afford to cheaply give the ball away and then have no pace to get back in to cover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got to play Middleton where Spoony would play. I'd even be tempted to play the middle 3 and let him roam behind Kane and pick the ball up. The one thing about Middleton is his turn and attack mentality. He's always looking to drive forward and him and Kane would hopefully win freekicks and take the pressure off the defence. If you're worried about being hit on the break, then let the wingbacks stay narrow and deep as well, limit space and hope to counter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
