  1. Sorry, it doesn’t matter if we win this 8-2 but this manager is a dangerous liability.

     

     

    Anyone managing the best players in the league can play kamikaze attacking football and score a hatfull. But it also means any opponent with an inch of nous will rip you up on counterattack. If playing with no defence was feasible, other teams wolud do it. They don’t.

     

     

    If I had to guess now I can see this finish 4-4, but even if we win today, the system is unsustainable, and since, he’s a one trick pony, so is Nancy’s position.

     

     

    I’d rather say all this while we are winning so it doesn’t sound knee jerk.

  2. Nancy isn’t the problem, its our defence, Ralston in particular, as much as I’ve supported Tony he isn’t the answer at right back,

  3. Kenny has been doing some great one-touch link-play on the right with Maeda, Luke and Benny. Just needs a goal for his work.

  4. All aboard the Celtic roller coaster.

     

    A life long ride you can’t get off.

     

    Cmonnnnn Celtic give us more goals.

  5. Wow the 80’s sieve locks like an Italian defence from the same era compared to this😂😂😂

     

    We genuinely look like we could lose a goal every time they get forward…..

     

    Poor Tony Ralston looks terrified….

  6. glendalystonsils on

    That pitch ,supposed ‘upgrade’ looks like it’s thick with these rubber pellets , definitely not helping .

  7. The Battered Bunnet on

    Our defence used to be a tremblin’ plate of mince.

     

     

    Bro Wilf has got rid of the plate.

     

     

    We need 3 Van Dijks to play this system and even then we’d still lose goals.

  8. Lubo we need you on

    How bad must Simpson Pusey be if he cant get a game if front of ralston ?

     

    I swear I saw him last season play really well for man city

  9. 67 European Cup Winners on

    4-2. School boy football. Delighted we have the 4

     

    But I fear we need at least another 2.

     

    Is this the style formation and excitement we are going to go through every week

     

     

    My nerves are shattered

  10. a quick scan of the table. 3 points and four goals behind hearts , our game in hand v motherwell

     

     

    a pragmatic manager say like martin would shut up shop for the 2nd half to not concede and possibly score again, but the most important thing is to win the game.

     

     

    a possession obssed manager, say like brendan, would retain the ball for the 2nd half while taking safety first horeshoe football while trying to overload but again, closing out the win is the important thin.

     

     

    if the canny score bottom team can score against a back 3, so can a very good motherwell side, ………….

     

     

    and even the rangers could do the same.

     

     

    work smarter wilfie, leave the fundamentalism of 3-4-3 for now.

     

     

    there is a chance to be top of the league by end of year,

     

     

    radio shortbread was going on and on today that the team that is top of league at year end has won the league in 17 out of 19 i think it was, hoping for the hearts to be,

     

     

    do the frech have a word for pragmatic.

     

     

    btw, i do not need entertaining football, thats just daft in league games, the result is everything.

  11. Whatever we think of Ralston, Nancy must rate him above Donovan, Murray, Scales and the Man City loanee.

  12. If playing like this causes teams to attack us, it will leave space at their back for us to exploit! Bring it on I say!

  13. Amorim played a back four for the first time yesterday. He’s been at MU for over a year.

     

     

    We wouldn’t be any less of a threat going forward with an extra defender.

     

     

    On edge every attack against the poorest team in the league

  14. I know we are 2 up .

     

    However we are going to suffer against better teams .

     

    We are so open and given possession away so easily .

     

     

    Faults all over the team .

     

     

    Very concerning.

     

     

    TT

  15. On one level this game is entertaining . Unlike the dull Brodgeball horseshoe taking ten passes when two is quicker.

     

    In reality it is kamikaze. Our defending is a heart attack every time the opposition get forward. Livi are the worst team in the league yet look like scoring with every attack, Nancy does not have the players for his defensive system so he needs to go 4 at the back till he has the right guys in. As for our attack, Lots of it but the final ball is usually poor . Nygren showed with our 3rd that goals can be scored from a short or long distance. So far I am having none of this Wilfball. Decent teams will tear us a new one on the counter.

     

    Utter naiviety.

  16. the system WN what’s us to play means every opposition attack is liable to be a goal against with our current squad of players.

  17. Borgo67 – Man Utd actually had a back six for last 15-20 mins. Newcastle should have pumped them. There was only one team in it.

     

    Hear you though. we need a back four to settle the nerves
