Alert Mongoose Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 According to my sources this lad is being paraded round the pitch at halftime to get a warm reception from home and away sections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We'll be 4-2-3-1 again for this and probably an unchanged selection too. There's only two possible changes I see a small chance of being made. Firstly, De Lucas in for Boyes with the thinking being De Lucas might deal better with Fletcher. I hope not, though, as I'm a huge fan of Boyes and I think he's fine against target man-style opponents. Also Shinnie might be replaced by a presser, either Omeonga or Pittman. They'd then be instructed to press high onto Sibbald when Utd have the ball. Again, I'd be disappointed to see that as Shinnie's long passing from deep has given us a new dimension in recent times. You do lose a bit defensively with him instead of Omeonga or Pittman but I think the extra creative output compensates. McGrath and Behich are particular threats and we'll need Holt and Devlin to be on their game defensively. Utd's right is noticeably weaker than their left so expect us to focus our attacking down that side with Nouble and Montaño. Two evenly matched sides and that'd normally make a draw the most obvious result. Yet because Livi need a win here our tactics might go a bit boom or bust, especially second half. That then makes either side winning more likely than the draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Seeing as it can't be Tony Watt, can we at least make it Steven Fletcher? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I can't see Dundee spending the same amount of money Utd did this season so I'd be fine with that. f**k knows what Glasgow Gretna would end up doing but they're (selfishly) preferable to having Utd in the league for me just on the grounds of better odds on us staying up. Killie/St Johnstone down in the playoff and Dundee Utd down is best case scenario for us I think Edited April 20, 2023 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 TBH I think everyone in the in the Premiership has a budget bigger than ours; that's possibly true for maybe four championship sides. Although United "strengthened" last summer, presumably in anticipation of European football, the only players they actually spent real money on was Levett; Middleton and Birighitti (I'll stand corrected if I've missed anyone). At the moment spending power, unless its obscene spending power AKA Old Firm, doesn't seem to count for much in reality. What is more concerning is, on Saturday we face a team with their tails up after consecutive wins PLUS I think we have Dallas on VAR? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That then makes either side winning more likely than the draw. I hope we don't start cagey, like we did in the St Mirren game, allowing Utd to dominate early possession and come at us, we need to get stuck right in about them and look for Montano's penetrating runs combining with Anderson and Nouble, reckon we'd get an early goal playing positively from the off. Shinnie had a decent game against St Johnstone, particularly after we scored, but i'd still prefer to see Omeonga starting, to give us that aggression in midfield winning the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
