pozbaird Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Despite everything, great to see the Sevco punters still enjoyed their POTY dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 What continues to strike me is every Celtic v Rangers game since Rodgers arrived, is the amount of space Scott Brown and the other centre mid Rodgers selects along side him seem to have every time they have the ball. Free to spray it around and bring Forrest and Sinclair into play time and again. Utter madness from both Murty and the Rangers players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's astonishing that they believe that continuing to do this will somehow yield a different result from the last 8 or 9 times they've let the Celtic midfield go 90 minutes pretty much challenge free.

That’s quite something With the Catholicism aside, it'll be similar to that bit in Father Ted where they know they need to write a song (or in Sevco's case, a statement). 1) Call the board meeting : 2) Write the statement, overnight if required : 3) The final product : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. That's not an excuse. Even if the players are disillusioned with the manager and have decided to stop playing for him, have some professional pride for f**k sake.

Agreed but it's seems to be with modern day players that if you give them an excuse (or someone else to blame) they'll take it! Murty has been hugely undermined by various statements and action by people within Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception to this was the 30 December game, where Rangers didn't allow Celtic's midfield any time on the ball, got Brown rattled and took more and more control of the midfield as the game went on, to the point where every second ball was being picked up by them in the second half. I'm sure it's just an amazing coincidence that that's the only game you avoided defeat against Celtic this season, with a clean sheet as well.

The tactical template remains the same though. Hearts used the same high line, high energy level press to great effect in the 4-0 game at Tynecastle. An player can look good given time and space to pick their passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, his reflex saves can be as good as you're likely to see but his distribution lets him down badly. Sunday is the first time I recall seeing a goalkeeper attempting a no pressure pass, only for him to knock it out for a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
