Lazetic done

Should've been three. Topi yet again makes a terrible decision
-
Yass sivert.
-
I think we were allocated 3k, would've sold out easily last year. I actually meant to get one but I've been away working this week. I've got a couple of mates connected to Morton but might be too late to cadge a couple. Be a good drive doon the watter tomorrow if this weather holds.

Listened to it as doing DIY. Sounded very familiar to last season. No threat. Having attacking plans is surely the bare minimum for premier League coaching team. Firing it wide then asking the winger to cut inside, and beat three men until we catch up with him seems to be our only option and it's pish.
-
I'm thinking it's Jensen at LB. Pleased to see that he's realised he can't play Clarkson and Adil in the same midfield. How keskinen remains a first choice is beyond me. He has offered nothing since about last November. Can we not just play Morris and milanovic on their good sides and go past people instead of having two speed merchants cut inside every time they get the ball and try to pass it through the eye of a needle in a 1-2 at the edge of the box ( when they get they far) that never comes off? Anyway, on a positive note, looks a team for the battle
-
The same Celtic that spanked Newcastle? Whilst we were spanked ourselves by Ipswich. Not sure the timing will help us. We need a big performance .
-
I'd second that. Steady keeper. Big presence.
-
We created nothing in that game. Clarkson on the ball was decent. That's not the issue here, when we don't have the ball he doesn't win it back and at tynecastle he's brushed off it, as was shinnie, as was Adil, as was keskinen. Special mention to yengi for lack of presence at his size. Were not going to win games unless the opposition sit off of us. Too many passengers or to be fair to them not enough physicality in our side. At tynecastle i'd have brought kjartan/polvara in with Nilsen ( who also looked off it physically today ) to ensure we won the physical battle because EVERYBODY ( except Jimmy apparently) knew how this game would play out. The result wasn't the worst but I'm really angry that we've learned nothing, moved too slow in the window and our preparation for this season has been piss poor.
-
Totally unacceptable half. Poor all over. Outworked, ponderous on the ball. Keskinen still pish, Jensen having a howler, yengi is very poor, shinnie is getting dragged all over the place and the French boy is pretty much non existent apart from avoiding a few tackles then losing it. If I have to explain to Jimmy why playing Clarkson , Adil and keskinen together at tynecastle isn't going to work, he probably isn't up to the job. Three show ponies in a fight, second half needs to be miles better because if we get battered here and on Sunday we're in for a poor season.
-
I mean milanovic has been good
-
Shambles, shinnie dives into midfield. Kisses it and they get in behind. He then gets to put it into the net too. He's past it at left back. Also can't believe we've played clarkson in the middle at tynecastle. We've learned nothing.
-
The same lobban that was it on loan l at cove last season? He's not ready to step up to the premier. Steady enough at div 1 but not a stand out at that level and you really should be to play in our first team. On that note alloa have a keeper on loan from hearts Liam something. McInnes was watching him on Saturday. Unbelievable saves! Looks like a young Craig Gordon.
-
Can't say bavidge ever stood out last season when I seen them. Marshall did well at cove and got a step up this season with my mate at Arbroath. Although I maintain that fyvie was still coves best player
-
Four? Does that mean they'll listen to me and grab maswanhesi this week?. Proven goal scorer and creative influence in our league. If big Adil turns out to be shite, I'll harp on about this all season.
-
It was a bit meh. Liked kjartanson, for what he did he did well. Total unit and looks mobile. Thought Nilsen brought a bit of composure too. I've often been negative about him but I thought keskinen had a really decent game tonight. Much better decision making. Milanovic looked decent when he got involved, otherwise not a lot of note. We need a fit left back quickly as we can't rely on shinnie there. Wasn't blown away by the French lad but we didn't have a lot of the ball. Last word for polvara, little time but looked good again in what he did. Problem is we have far too many players in the middle.
-
I know it's pre season but we're far too soft in this game. People walking through three and four tackles
-
Shinnie making this guy look like actual Ben Johnson
-
Only a fiver on red tv
-
On Vinnie, I think he'll piss that league. Keskinen looked a world beater over there, just knocking it past people and running. Hasn't really been the case for him here. I think Finnish defences will help him get a decent move out of this.
-
I also noted the boy at well scored a double. Can't believe nobody has come in for him. I'm not going to try and spell his name again.
-
Good signing, another I think will improve and with a change of boss at spurs may well be offloaded at the end of the season. I'm my head this suggests that ruby might not have made enough impact on preseason for Jimmy and we've sent for tried and tested.
-
On another note. Do you all think we're holding off now to let decent strikers make decisions and all other business is done?
-
He possesses a rare quality in modern football. The ability to go past a man. He has improved year on year and will continue to do so. That's easily worth a couple of mil to someone for the impact he can have in games. Let's not forget Celtic were a decent champions League team last year and he gave them hell. You put him in a strong team who play camped in the opposition half and he's a massive asset. The time on the contract is the only down side. Get him signed up for an extra year and stick in a 2 million release clause. Another season's progress and well get that no problem.

Enjoyed Dept Q, like a really long and more violent taggart with witty script. Just started running point on netflix with the wife. It's a bit schitts creek with basketball. Easy watching, 30min episodes and she laughs her head off watching it.
