Apart from the smashing pass through for the first goal, I thought he had a really good game. Thought his game management was generally good, a couple of stray passes but well up the park where space is much tighter. Linked well with the two centre backs, controlled play generally in front of those two. He just needs game time!!

told you it would be solid 3-0 , everyone was politicking at the time and did not counter my bet so i win!!!

Just what we needed during this incessant schedule. An easy 3-0 win against 10 men where we don’t have to go hell for leather fir 90 mins. Getting to the semi is already progress from last year,

That’ll do nicely.

McCarthy looks like he’s learning to play Ange’s way, he certainly looks like an intelligent footballer who’s listening
He was playing a different role in a very rigid structure under Roy Hodgson, there’s no way he would have been expected to play passes like the one he did for the first goal at palace.

Games against this level of opposition, and Dundee, St Mirren earlier in the season are good to win, but tell us nothing about our chances of performing and winning against better quality.
Let’s keep that in mind. I’m encouraged that we are introducing young players, if their ability can match their hunger, it will stand us in good stead.
I enjoyed the first- half tonight – we are still very much WIP.

Saints for us.

AZ Alkmaar lose again, 3-1 to FC Twente. With 1 win and 4 losses, they sit firmly second last in the Eredivisie, 17th out of 18 teams.

I think that rather than not giving GG a shot tonight, it was more case of trying Jota through the middle. It seemed to work, we stretched the defense more with his movement from CF, it’s a good option to have, a different one to a more traditional more static CF like Ajeti

Ange says Georgios did his calf in during the warm up.
Coneybhoy on
a good result but our clear weaknesses remain
zero tacking in midfield and massive gaps at full back when we go forwards
the former we can do nothing about until Jan window
The latter, Ange can sort any time he wants

It was a good outing for Mc Carthy.He needs game time.Not brilliant but OK.Midfield a bit dysfunctional,Rogic not anywhere near his best,Turnbull,same,Mc Carthy needing games.Abada,I think,better as a striker,not great at beating men on the wing,can fairly put them away.Something about CCV that I love.
Not overly impressed,but a few got a run out,and nothing at stake after the 3rd.Can take on board about Gio,but how can he get game time if he won’t bring him on.Big game on Sunday.Unt playing defensively won’t be easy to beat.
TheLurkinTim on
Celtic40me…gotta disagree…we’re asking Jota to play up front with his back to goal…which is clearly nonsense and not his game
Coneybhoy on
not wanting to be negative but Ajeti is a very poor CF. Never had a good game for us even when he scores

an all green final will be awfy braw

Are you positive about that?🤣😂😅

Neustadt…am gonna guess that the huns game is played 1st…and we get to play on a sub standard pitch
IniquitousIV on
We ended up in a 4-5-1 formation at the end, something I would not have put money on.
JHB on
Good draw – I can smell an all green final. Hibs are a better bet to overturn the Ibrox team than us…..at the moment.
Turkeybhoy on
Happy with the draw.We should have everyone back and fit for the Semi.Barring more injuries.

The Undead will argue they were out the pot first. But that never carries any water when it happens to us.

I don’t think Ange sees his CF’s playing that sort of role. I could be wrong though.

Of course it is – anyone who believes differently must know something I, and thousands of others don’t. To do/make something always starts as WIP…..except maybe for Emma Radacanu😁

Jesus, we aren’t getting any luck with injuries

Don’t think McCarthy is looking the part quite yet, but he’s improving.
ONENIGHT
And …. he’s a big guy. A back kick at Celtic who’s a big guy? Breaking the mould, Angie.
ERNIE LYNCH on 23RD SEPTEMBER 2021 9:44 PM
I agree, although he ran the midfield, it was not European or top 6 opposition. But….. heading in the right direction.
