Shit goal. Awful defending of the cross from nisbet, stand infront of him and he doesn’t cross.

Really? I think Jensen has been pretty consistent. Devlin was gassed and running on empty, then got injured. Jensen has been an attacking threat at right back and has improved since he signed and got used to the league. While not Doug rougvie, he’s been more physical too, don’t think he deserves to be dropped. Tough one as I rate devlin.

Does playing in Europe make that much of a difference - I’m meaning in terms of the league. Like I said, awful 5 months and we’re 1 point off third, I don’t think a euro run makes a significant difference, and the money is worth it.

I’ve said that before too, Europe is running and we can barely walk. Another full year of overhaul/clean up certainly helps, but the money is certainly a huge factor. Ideally we get another season to find our feet, but, at the same time, our league is pretty shit - we have been pretty awful for 5 months and are 1pt off third. Does playing in Europe really make that much of a difference?

Vey dons like performance. Creating very little, too slow and labored.

Good to hear. Was paying attention for this specific reason, but clearly not close enough. Mctom, gilmour, and Ferguson is a very strong three for us. Doak on the left, shady mo on the right!

Pretty sure bologna wont be very happy. Not sure Ferguson has played 90 plus mins for them in months?? They’ve been very cautious post injury. And we go again Sunday.

I’m assuming it’s to keep tierney fresh for hampden. Highly doubt Robertson is benched on Sunday for a ‘big’ game. Expect to maybe see 3 at the back Sunday.

Thank you!!

Not the techie that I wish I was. Looks like the game is on bbc today, any suggestions on how to catch that here in the US?

Gueye is very much like duk, very much a selfish individual who does what he wants on the pitch. From what we see. Must be very hard/frustrating to play with. At the same time, again like duk, a good player to have on the bench and throw in knowing he may give a bit of magic, score a header, etc. Same with Morris, you know he’s not consistent but throwing him on in the second half when others are tired, he’ll create. Today we needed a morris to bring on in the second half, instead it was okkels who is proving by game that we need to find at least one new winger this summer. today we had no attacking central threat. We just didn’t get nisbet involved there, no 10 being a threat in the final third. Think someone posted and then deleted, sivert may have had an influence today. At the same time, Clarkson palaversa and sivert, and shinnie mostly, are all too deep. No balance and, dare I say, McGrath would bring that on the attacking side. Again, as said earlier, think polvara deserves some game time. Ambrose is awful, no comparison to anyone there. He may try in training but should never be close to a match squad. Would rather see a young loon given a run.

Is it to show movies when the games are like today and not worth watching?

So are we back to where we were a year ago? Morris gueye sokler not good enough to be relied on? Harsh on sokler since he’s just back from injury but a year ago we were crying out for gutting the squad, these guys have had enough chances to lock down a start or significant time but fail too often. nisbet and dabbagh were poor to day, big part of that the service, but do either actually replace bojan? Okkels isn’t the standard we need, topi tries and gets a pass purely because he’s young. We definitely need a left and right mid, and forwards this summer. I’d even try Jensen or devlin at right mid ahead of the other at present, plus I think polvara has to be given time at center mid. We need an attacking center mid, none of the guys we have are that except maybe polvara. agree re the field, was shocked to see an ‘old’ soft muddy tattie field, guess that suited them. not a fun day.

Painful. Zero creativity and while I missed the last 20 mins, I assume we didn’t create anything. Back to no width because we pretty much get nothing from wide players, so we go more long ball again. Nisbet not so involved today either. Ugly stuff.

I blame trump and his cost/staff cutting.

Snooze. 0-0 at half, their keeper had very little to do, one big save from mitov. Very little from Mackenzie, while he has gotten forward, no lung busting runs and not dangerous crosses. Likewise Morris. I’d be inclined to put shinnie left and Clarkson in with palaversa. Mackenzie hasn’t been bad but we need him and Morris creating. Clarkson can add creativity as it’s pretty painful so far.

35 mins, meh. Couple of half chances by nisbet. Definitely the better team but creating little. Attacking players not standing out, Morris done very little. We need him involved!

Firstly logged me out then sound was messed up. Fine now. Open game.

Anyone having red tv issues? Logs me out/crashes every 30 seconds…!

Which means start shinnie. A more stable and effective player at present.

Maybe, but if a player wants to leave they need to go. Hard for him to turn around and say he’s now 100% committed to us. He’s gone from being one of the leagues weekly standouts to not being talked about at all, except places like here. He’ll end up at somewhere like a mid to lower championship, league 1, even salford, and rarely heard of. He’ll be at hibs or united within 3 years. Sadly.

Hoping he really is the special one! Come on ye Turks!

You are correct, he’s been fine. Which is average, and compared to early season Mackenzie, is not as good. Shinnie will give his all and has done well last couple of games, will bust a gut to get up and down. Mackenzie will just be fine, his mind appears to be elsewhere, which is why I’d go with shinnie.

I’m not one that has commented on shinnie having the legs or not. However, keep in mind that as a midfielder, shinnie has to get up and down the park. Demanding. At left back he can pick and chose to an extent, sit if he needs recovery. And based on what we’ve seen, small sample size I know, he appears to have the legs for left back, plus we have options that it doesn’t need to be a full game every game. RE our attacking Mackenzie, he’s been rarely seen in recent months, no clue where he’s gone. Shinnie has offered more of late at left back.

100% agree regarding shinnie!
