No aggression intended. This is my relaxed face – :>/
Johansen is Ronnie’s pick because he favours a 4-2-3-1 ‘pressing’ side that relies on the opposition defence making mistakes that can be seized upon – Johansen is his man to do that.
The problem is, not all sides are Ross County/St Mirren. Some defences needs to be prised apart more skillfully, and Ronnie’s system isn’t going to work on them.
We’ve seen that time and again with Legia, Maribor, and the two other decent sides in the Scottish premiership.
Commons is not as good behind one striker as he is behind two (we saw that under Lennon as well as Deila), and he certainly won’t bomb about like Johansen.
My point is we had a much more effective system under Lenny – the 4-4-2 diamond – in which we conceded fewer goals, scored more, and won more games. Football can be bafflingly simple at times.
Look at today’s team – Griffiths gets the start some have been calling for, but does Ronny play him up front alongside Johansen? No. He’s out on the right, in the ‘modern’ 4-2-3-1. It’s the formation that won’t die.
But it’s Ross County, so, barring a doomsday event, it’ll go unnoticed.
Can those who have taken money out of Rangers put some money back in pay for a new manager?
Self awareness still on vacation.
Joe Filippis Haircut on
Its the panto season Rony saying oh no he wont others saying oh yes he will. So is big Virgil moving on in January if he is we should put a 15 million price tag on his head and also ask Arsenal for Rosicky as part of the deal. H.H.

Great to see Griffiths getting a start, pity we didn’t also start Scepovic.
Hopefully we get the game tied up and let young Tierney get a run out at some point, excellent left sided player.

Self awareness, Ranger, EBT and McCann all in the one post!
I salute you Sir:))
auldheid
You missed dignity for a full house
Can we loan some of our youth team to Hibs to help ensure they and Hearts go up?
Auldheid, brilliant.
Arrived at Paradise. Good to see Grittihs get a start, but hope he is not playing him out right. But that looks likely.
The system and pressing game works at the highest level – Christ, Barca at their best deployed it. And a variation of 4231….
We still have people telling us 442, the world is flat……
5!!!
Lol love it guernica,

In all honesty, the Hibees look like they have things covered
That Allan is a good player
Now to beat County hopefully with a barrel load of goals
Griffiths to score a double
We warned the Huns that if they sacked McCoist they’d have a riot on their hands.
And so it proved today at Easter Road!
Well done Alan Stubbs.
Now for the main event.

When you put it like that, maybe every team should play it.
Systems to suit players, not the other way round.
Good morning from a bright, sunny and unseasonably warm Garden State.
LG played from the start.
