Drought upfront

Is it just me or is anyone else worried that we haven't scored a goal under strachan yet? I think it's worrying because of the concentration we have put into our attack this summer and it doesn't look any better than last seasons. Heres hoping that its just those two games and it doesn't continue, we need a few goals tomorrow night to settle my nerves. If we finish tomorrows game without scoring it's time to start asking questions I think.

 

Yeah, slightly worrying, hopefully this will end very soon..it will have to. GS has said that scoring goals is the most important thing..we haven't scored one so give the bhoys a boot up the * will ye Gordon?

 

service to the forwardline has been very poor, almost non-existent. It will all come together in time, hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

Lets not worry just yet, Gord has had just over a month with his new team, not even that time to sit down and think about tactics and players positions. Remember this is what friendlies are for, Trialists, chances and a chance for people to show what they can do.

It'll come together soon, MON the HOOPS!

 

It better..we don't want to be put out the Champs league before we are even in it by a team who no-one knows on the other side of the world.

 

yea we prob will get knocked out by them lol

 

I don't think scoring goals would be the problem, its just that we are finding it hard getting balls through to the strikers. Our midfield is totally out of sorts. Lennon and Sutton don't work well together we need to have a more attacking midfield. Petrov in the middle so he can make his runs up. Agathe or a new person on the right to make runs up the flanks and deliver balls. Lennon to hold the fort in the middle, and Naka on the left.
GS should take hartson off and replace him with sutton, he will be able to hold the ball up and slide in wee passes for the likes of Zuraw or Ali.

 

We have tae lighten up, and FGS Gs STOP USING 4 DEFENDERS!!!!!!! ARE YEH COMPLETELY MAD MAN!!!!! I'm getting sick of seeing improvisations! Beattie right-back?! Come on! Tha's just plain stupid! Use three strikers man!! What is he afraid of? 3-4-3!!!

 

"We're not Brazil, we're Glasgow Celtic"

 

Good old 3 - 5 - 2. Virgo, Varga, Camara - Aliadere, Petrov, Lennon, Sutton, McGeady - Magic and BBJ

 

have faith in the ginger man he will get us scoring goals hail hail

 

we need a few defenders in. If Christinvaul doesnt get a contract at Arsenal we shud buy him. Play him,Virgo and Sutton at the back

 

The goals will come I'd be more worried about the defence from what I've seen so far.

 

Still a new team, that is gelling. Don't worry, the goals will flow for Magic and co, probably just need the first one to go in, then the avalanche will start. Hopefully on Thursday night at CP, nice to see some new players score on their home debut!

 

yea hopfully its one of thoses games when they score they just cant stop HOPEFULLY tho lol

 

can't say much about others, but that's exactly what was Maciek's case in his NT appearances. despite being league top-scorer he couldn't find the net in the international games and his frustration was growing. it took him somewhere about 10 or more games to finally score, but once it was done, he become a scoring maniac for Poland.

by the way, i think some of you are putting too much weight on friendlies. come on, it's a long way to go before the season starts!
