    It’s like watching us last season trying to defend.

    Don’t forget the total inability to defend corners....

    It’s honestly mental even bringing stats from Japan, Australia etc in to it. Absolutely mental.

    Somebody made the point that Howe has a 40% win rate. Means absolutely nothing in context.

    The defending is terrifying though.

    Aye exactly.

    The defending is bad. That boy that went on Celtic Fans TV said that we will concede. He mentioned the goalkeeper in Japan and the fact that the standard of player isn’t great.

    These teams never really invest as much in defence as they do in midfield and attack in terms of foreign talent.

    That’s a worry in itself though mate. How will Postecoglous tactics fare against the low block in Scotland. Most of the great moves I have seen from his teams is passing around a four player high press in their own third and then blowing them away.

    Does he have the nous to figure out what to do when his defenders have 5 minutes on the ball and two blocks of five to break down?

    I think this will fall through and we'll end up with Steve Clarke. :42:

    Wouldn’t surprise me if that was the plan.

    I wouldn’t have taken Clarke 2 months ago, now though...

    At first I would have been dead against this but now I'd be all for it. Sad how this search has turned out

    That aussie journo was an utter *, shat on Howe and tried using Nakamura as some sort of yardstick to measure the success of talent fr9m Asia, as if a guy playing aa a * footballer in Italy is in anyway * comparable to a coach.

    * dirty * he was.

    Clarke would command respect, he knows the Scottish game and he would give us solidity, i know many canny go the guy, think he's a dour faced * lol, but right now i think he would be the man.


    Anyways back to big Angie. :67:

    Right now, I would say that’s the best scenario we could hope for.

    I suggested some time ago Clarke for the DoF role, as I think he would be a good fit for it, and because I don't think he would take the manager's job here. But I very much doubt the SFA would let him carry on as the national manager if he took up a role like that with us.

    I think it will be terrible.

    I just don't see this being a success at all.

    Yet I'm already bracing myself to be defensive of him when the knives inevitably come out from the likes of Commons, Sutton, Hartson etc. Those who said nothing, or very little, as Lennon was overseeing the biggest capitulation in the history of the club.
