[Matchday] St Johnstone v Celtic Sunday 4th October Sky Sports football kick off 12Pm

Performances have always been up and down, but I can't remember a time when we have had so many poor performances one after another.

The lack of crowds is always going to be a factor, but nobody else has been affected as bad as us.

 

I feel the same way about you.

 

Sky's commercials man..

 

Poor stuff.

3-5-2 worked last season on the basis of Griff playing on the shoulder and an in-form Eddie dropping deeper. We don't have either now.

Moi who isn't a striker or blessed with blistering pace is being asked to play Griff's role and we have an injured/unfocused Eddie that is offering little for the team.

We're creating nothing from open play game after game after game. This can't be put down to just breaking down stubborn defensive teams, St Johnstone have committed men forward at times but we've just not been able to counter them with any speed or play through their press.

The 3 CMs need to do a bit more for us, demand the ball, too often it's getting put long and bypassing them.

Let's hope they tire out in the 2nd half and we come into a game.

 

Griffs for Nitcham for me

 

Hes rubbish on the right side of a 3 in my opinion. He can be fantastic but its nothing like often enough

 

Don't see how we've missed Brown. We've been fine that side, it's the slow safe passing that's letting us down.

 

As much as many of us would love to see griff on a d got two up front, I think we’re deluding ourselves as Lenny is never goin to do that.
The need, necessity and imperativeness for two up front against a team so tightly packed is glaringly obvious yet we play one despite having Klimala and griff available.
Enervating again.

Edouard is so frustrating all these excuses from fans trying to justify his drop in performance injured , not right formation. He’s been poor and should be called out like every other player has been .

I hate to say this as I have been wanting brown dropped for a while but we are being bullied in tackles . That’s the part of our game which brown makes the difference is he commits to tackles 100% and makes sure all our other players do aswell . We are being kicked and out muscled in most tackles in a way I haven’t seen in a long time

 

That’s something we need to get to * as well, get somebody behind the striker instead of a flat 3.

 

Not getting enough from mo and ntcham atm , may need intro of christie to give a bit more goal threat .

 

In fairness we've put in this level of performance plenty of times with brown in the team so far this season

 

We could do worse than stick a couple of players on who are completely proven in these situations: Rogic, Griffiths and Christie.

The first two will never get a game though.

 

Positive is I don’t think they even had a shot apart from that Wetherspoon punt.

A few crosses but we’ve not been in any danger.

 

You do realise Elyounoussi is playing up front?

 

I'm sure that if Broony picks up a yellow he would be on a ban

 

It’s usually Broony or Forrest I think
