SPL: St Johnstone vs. Celtic 15/9/12

We are missing Joe Ledley like mad. Kayal as well.

 

I think we missed all of our injured players yesterday, to be honest. The likes of Sammy and Stokes would also have had a big say in the final outcome of the match.

Kayal and Ledley offer something different though, in the sense that they like to get forward and create chances, but can also get back and do the dirty work in defence if they need to. Brown can get forward quite well, but any time he attempts to go back and help out the defence, he ends up kicking someone in the shin and getting himself a yellow card, as well as conceding a potentially dangerous free kick.

 

I think we missed a trick yesterday by not moving Wanyama to central defence at half time.

I guarantee he would have handled Tade better than Mulgrew, and Charlie might have performed a * sight better at CM.

 

They both have teams whose squads are worth hundreds of million, compared to their opponents that are a fraction of that, so it's probably not really that different.

 

So if they are playing * in their own position just move them to another position and hope they do better there?? How long before people accept that Mulgrew cant defend to save his life and Wanyama is the most overrated player at the club?? Or will it take plenty more days like yesterdayfor people to take notice?? Or we can do as you suggest and just move them about from position to position to make them more comfortable.

 

Do you get a wee kick out of posting absolute * and hoping for a reaction?

So Mulgrew can't defend to save his life, the POTY last year?

And Wanyama isn't over rated, a lot of people says he has the tools to be great but he's still a young guy and needs to iron out parts of his game.

But hey, you carry on constantly slating the champions and our players every chance you get.

It's * tedious and embarrassing.

I swear there is some people on here who are beside themselves when we have an off day so they can come on and spread their own brand of hysterical bullshit.

 

why is it izzys job to run the line all the time, there are 2 players in front of him most times, that cant get 10 yards beyond the half way line, and they don't even have the * Ball, when you see Hooper in and around the box there is 5 defenders so we must have 4 spare or free players, but they don't want to go in, and if they did its still 5 v 5 even Stevens so what, and there is 5 at the back for us when there 5 attack. but we don't see that, we * about most of the match with passing it sideways and back passing simple reason being as they cant pass it up to one guy that has 5 players around him, all because we have no one wanting to get in there with Hooper in the first place. us having control of the midfield is a joke there is no * coming out to take us, as we have 5 in the middle of the park doing absolutely nothing at all for our own attack. and when there defence steps out HOOPER is caught offside most times.

 

Worst passing display I've ever seen yesterday really bad

 

That could be up there with one of the hardest things i have ever had to attempt to read

 

Lol m8 I thought exactly the same

 

Are you not contradicting yourself? Mulgrew and Wanyama can both play in different positions because they have the ability to do so. They both were poor yesterday but I think your harsh criticism is nonsencical.

 

i can under stand yoshi, dont worry about it we are the team that is getting * the penny will drop one day

 

Getting * no maybe got

 

Another one that posts absolute *.

We are the Champions and have one defeat in nine this season, including 4 wins in the CL.

So explain how we are the team that's getting *?

In fact, don't bother.

 

Are injured players like Kayal and Ledley supposed to be at the game even though they are injured?

Kayal was out for a day shopping with his wife yesterday.

I would have thought they would still go to the game?

 

Probably at home, they usually mingle with guests to the game like sick children etc and let them look around the dressing rooms and stuff but not away from home, they probably could go if they wanted. I mind when Broony was injured a while ago he went to 2 away games and sat with the fans and when we used to play the Huns any injured or suspended players always had tickets for the front row of the upper tier.

 

we got beat 2-1. when we play a decent team we draw,when we play a better team we get beat, hows that. Why is it that Hooper is off side most times, simple as 5 defenders only have the one guy to watch and catch. if you cant see this no hope.
that is why we do nothing for 70% of any game we are in, we are not a threat to any one mate. bar its a poor side we play

 

So St. Johnstone are a better team than us?

You are an absolute moon unit.

 

When, CELTIC win, it is because THE opposition have, BEEN * but when victory lies, with the SIDE that is not the CELTIC, then it is the ones who look like humans wearing tshirts with green and white hoops that were unable to win because, it, is them who are, always *, I seen a man with a cat as a pet and he told a squirrell that there was only two teams in a game of football, and if, one of them was CELTIC then they were not the best team out of the TWO teams.

:bbpd::icon_mrgreen:

 

Bottom line...we shouldn't be losing to the likes of St Johnstone(no disrespect to the Saints who thouroughly deserved the 3pts yesterday)but oor Bhoys are on a mint compared to them and none of them truly earned it yesterday.
From a promising start it all went down hill pretty rapidly,we never matched our opponents fight and desire,we couldn't string a few passes together...apart fae Commons goal and yet another great save from big Fra it was pure pish if i'm being honest and that's coming from someone who rarely critices the team.
I agree with earlier posts it's amazing just how much we missed Sammy,Ledley & Kayal...so forgive me from stating the obvious but the sooner they're back the better as that lot yesterday looked incapable of delivering the goods.
Swift kick up the * please Lenny!
