Will be off after 60 minutes if he doesn't improve quickly in the second half. Tbf he's got someone trying to sit on his shoulders every time the ball goes towards him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I think a lot of players are being restricted a bit by the tactics here, but hard to argue the tactics are actually wrong given that we've mostly contained them. All about being selfless and sacrificing yourself for the greater good and I think we're lucky to have guys like Dykes, McGinn and Christie who will happily do that. No egos. Could all still blow up in our face though and then we'll be asking why he didn't take the handbrake off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 For such a vital game for them, Norway haven't shown up much at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Robertson has been great tonight, Dykes does a job but I think when he plays it encourages us just to shell it up to him which doesn't work! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Happy with that. Norway don't look a particularly good side, they are pretty sloppy with the final ball. Maybe because a few are at big teams but don't get a sniff of playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I know it's only sensible to not defend too high up the park against Haaland, but we really need to put some pressure on and get on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Tbf it looks exactly like you would expect a game at the end of the season in searing heat to be played. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Ref is having an absolute fucking shocker. Not entertaining by any means, but would bite off every hand in the stadium for a 0-0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Starting to feel worryingly optimistic at the moment. I'll shake off such nonsense for the second half, hopefully. Bit worried about the bookings too. An early goal in the second half would really give me the fear... if we go a goal up and then we're to lose, I don't think I could stand it. I hate football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadasdillinger Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Very happy with that. Would take another half like that, though knowing Clarke's ability to tweak at half time I wouldn't be surprised to see him tweak something that lets us exploit their ropey back line better. Robertson been outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA hitting the post isn't considered on target either even though it is part of the target. You don't get many commentators saying the effort was off target when a player smacks one off the post from outside the box...

I know what your saying, but for their superior possession they haven't created much in terms of chances. Their going to have to open up more as the game goes on, and were set up to take advantage of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 For someone who always came across like a raging simpleton on the pitch, I quite like Hutton as a pundit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
