I agree re Jensen but don't know whether Gyamfi or Frame are any good so wouldn't put either into the poor bracket just yet. I also think that not adding legs to our midfield was a glaring omission in this window.

That would be an entirely different reel as they weren't deemed to be relevant for inclusion in a greatest goals compilation.

I read somewhere that the Boyd to Villa deal was concluded on Sunday but there is additional work that requires to be done because he is under 18. He will be going to train with Villa.

He is a stubborn man and it will be his undoing

Despite my criticisms of the tactics we’ve actually played quite well with some decent performances.

I am struggling to understand why we’re again using the tried and failed 4-2-3-1 against this mob particularly when they’ll be looking to avenge the cup final. Has he forgotten the number of spankings we received playing this formation against them last season or is he just stubborn and unflexible?

Playing a centre midfield 2 against Hearts was never going to work and it’s mildly confusing as to why JT thought that it would. I assume that he expected the wingers to do a lot of tracking back and that was sadly lacking with Keskinen looking off it and the team lacking match fitness in general. Allied to that was our lack of legs in the middle so, in the first half in particular the gap between our middle 2 and front 4 was huge at times. I didn't think that collectively our central midfielders were good enough last season to play in JT’s system, particularly against decent teams, and I can’t see how they’ll be good enough this year.

I am getting on but not quite your vintage Al ( I was 2 in 1970) I was a ball boy at the 1982 Final and had a great pitch side view. (Depending the highlights angle i can be seen right behind Simmie when he takes the throw in in the lead up to the 3rd goal) I was at the 1983,1984,1986 and 1990 finals. Great times.

I was in Madrid and Munich, great trips and great memories. RIP Jimmy

I’m not sure we can blame any of last night’s goals on zonal marking but I agree with your point.

I don't think it is still on the go Al

RIP MBT

I don’t see him ever being good enough tbh

I assumed the poster was suffering an episode and didn't want involved.

He's not old enough
