gc_smfc Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Morais should have buried that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Amateur hour for the goal. On top in the second half but St Mirren doing well blocking goal bound shots and a lot of bodies in there. Poor start for us. Edited August 1, 2020 by crispy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 We could have put this out of sight. Hope we don't regret that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Had a good couple of chances last 10 mins to kill the game off. Hope that we aren’t going to have repeat of last season where we struggle for goals. For a man who had an operation 10 days ago Foley has played brilliantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If that's a foul on obika then we should have had a penalty earlier...for a big guy he doesn't half roll about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Aye, players have been on the deck a lot in this game. St Mirren are getting a lot of players behind the ball so it’s real struggle to do anything in the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Broon Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Awful from Livi. No positives at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Well would you look at that, playing a shite formation to cram in some defenders instead of playing to your strengths doesn't work. Shocker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 FT 1-0Yas.That’s a big three points. Fantastic stuff.Livi are a good team, a top 6 team, and they came at us second half but I think we deserved to win today. Defensively we were excellent, Dykes was kept quiet by the two centre halves Shaungessy and McCarthy. Tait was brilliant and got the goal too.Ground it out toward the end. Goodwin’s got the team so well drilled.Top 6 Tony? Stop it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Alnwick, Shaughnessy & McCarthy were very good. Deserved win for them. Very one dimensional from us. Our set pieces were utter garbage. McMillan in for Devlin next week, please. Stream was very good aside from the commentary being out of sync.

Afro Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Difficult to be overly critical considering the circumstances but looked honking defensively. From what I seen (not much thanks to the shite stream), the better team won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one team in it so far, yet we are losing. Too tentative around their box. We need to bin Sibbald, gives the ball away cheaply every time. Need to bin the 3 at the back...I get we have an abundance of defenders but Gary needs to stop trying to shoehorn them all in. The extra man at the back means dykes lacks the support up top Agreed. 3 at the back has been crap since we brought in back in last year. Our best results were all under 4-2-3-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Shite start that. Not a lot in it: we hit the post, St Mirren hit the post. The difference being In defending. St Mirren had plenty men in the box to block a good 3-4 shots in the second half. Switching off and letting someone go unchallenged in the box is amateur so we were deservedly punished.

Cptn Hooch Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Alnwick, Shaughnessy & McCarthy were very good. Deserved win for them. Very one dimensional from us. Our set pieces were utter garbage. McMillan in for Devlin next week, please. I'd have Efe (our best player today) at RB with Fitz (unless brown is fit) and Guthrie in the middle and ATS on the left. Back to a 4-2-3-1 and play to our strengths. We looked an absolute shadow today. Defence were operating the 2m social distancing for the goal...3 centre backs who don't know each other is a nightmare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Brilliant display from us, it was never going to be pretty, we rolled up the sleeves and put in a hell of a shift. We basically pulled off a Livi on Livi. Should have been more goals in the game but I think we played Dykes really well today. When he is dropping back to the half way line to get involved you know you are doing something right.Shaughnessy and Tait? Wow. Very impressed. Big keeper done well near the end too. Important we picked up something today and the boys delivered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Terrific result for us as Livi look solid and we’ve got some tough fixtures. Obika good upfront, but the centre backs were terrific, hard to pick one of them for MoM. We were the better side in the first half, Livi struggled to get support to Dykes. Second half Livi put a lot of pressure on us, until McAllister went off. Livi had some big chances with Forrest then Robinson, but we really should have buried it at the end with Morais and Shaughnessy when they pushed up and left gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thought the back four all did very well against a tough team, Tait especially. We were really well drilled and timed our attacks well when Livi started to push up but we'll need to be a lot more clinical than that in future games. McGrath's ball for the goal was a peach and MacPherson was really good in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
