Rodgers would stick it in the net...Unlike Dembele

 

Scott Allan looks like he's cut his own hair.

 

GK - Bain

RB - Gamboa
CB - Ajer
CB - Tierney
LB - Izaguirre

CM - Kouassi
CM - Ntcham

RW - Arzani
CAM - Rogic
LW - Sinclair

ST - Dembele

 

I would like to see Bain get a run in the team now.

3-1.

 

Wish he had started at his neck.

 

Weather looks like it will be as good as our defence

 

We really need a lift with a good performance in this one. Assuming Simunovic is out injured and Hendry is not ready maybe go 3-5-2 so Griffiths and Dembele can start together up top and play Lustig Ajer and Tierney as the back 3.

 

So you would play him every game this season ?

Christie and Allan must have the same barber.

 

I'm not sure that BR did the right thing after the Thistle game, he was too critical imo. He's compounded that by publicly slating his defenders again, and I don't know what to make of Gordon's comments. Presumably BR has said what he's said in order to get a positive reaction from his players, here's hoping he gets it, and his and Gordon's comments don't have the opposite effect on players who's confidence is already low (you would assume). Regardless, I expect a win, and hope to get a look at the new lad at some point.

 

You can see they must have some laugh sitting beside each other.....

 

Time to give Bain a run,plus Forrest and Sinclair out wide..Need to give out strikers some proper service,and if Brown gets rested so be it,3 games in the next week so need to be careful

 

After the first few games this season of us conceding easy pishy goals he never publically slated them so obviously done behind closed doors, that didn’t work.

This is him laying down a marker and demanding more publically which hopefully works, we need players that react to that not shy away.

 

McKenna revealed at half time

 

Arzani is not fit manager has just said 2 days ago.

We'll not see him for a long time.

Probably go KT Lustig Ajer Izzy at back.

Rogic must play the next 3 games, our centre of midfield sucks * at the moment, all bang off form. I'd think of dropping Forrest too.

 

I’d like to see this line up too.
Maybe if Jozo is injured put Lustig in there instead, or move KT inside and stick Izzy on the left.

Broony definitely needs a rest, with two much bigger games coming up later in the week.
I think Kouassi needs another chance to impress, he was thrown in at the deep end against a very hungry and aggressive Hearts and didn’t handle it very well, but neither did any of our players that day, so I’d be happy to give him a the benefit of the doubt.

Would like to see Mikey Johnson and Arzani, if he’s ready, get a good 30 minutes too.

 

I like(d) Gordon but I think it's time. Get our excellent scouting set up sourcing a new keeper. Should have one by 2025 so.
Rest Brown, as pointed out above, if he can't be rested at home to Hamilton then we're in trouble. Again get our scouts on the case for a holding mid.

Bain
Gamboa - Ajer - Lustig - Tierney
Forrest - Kouassi - Ntcham - Sinclair
Griff - Dembele

Back to a 442, attack wide and get the ball in the box for a change. Give KT a slap and tell him to stop passing inside. Let's actually go at them. The possession at all costs football needs to go.
