Ange Postecoglou

Spot on.

 

Next five league games are just as tough as the last five, Chuck in a few cup games too..

 

Livi away is the literally the only game I’m worried about.

 

Aye our next run of game's are a lot more favourable, with a couple of potential dodgy aways..

Since the break we've played 4 of the top 6 and the sheep tonight have only just dropped out the top 6 in the last week....and Hibs who were also in it til recently or maybe were when we played. So Hibs, diets away, Dundee united, huns, Motherwell away, sheep away..

It probably doesn't get any tougher than that domestically....and we've won every single game..

We did look gassed tonight and maybe should've reacted and made some sub's earlier....but job done..

We're in good shape..

 

I thought the huns away was in there too.. ha yeah not as bad..

 

There was that stat recently about how we've only trailed in a game for 1 minute in the past 1300 or whatever minutes played. Seeing them draw level tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if Ange held off on making changes to give that group of players out there an opportunity to find a solution. He's big on that kind of stuff and sees it as part of the squad's long-term development. Like early in the season there were games when we were struggling and he was standing there hands in pockets, leading some to believe he was clueless as they screamed for him to change the system, being on another striker, be more direct, etc. But he didn't change because he wanted the players to continue playing "our football" and develop within that framework. He also constantly talks about how resilient this group of players is, which isn't just empty words: those same players who conceded 2 goals tonight responded by scoring almost immediately, like we did in the cup final.

Whether that's the right approach in the midst of a title race, who knows? But it seems to have served us pretty well so far.

 

No post match presser?

 

Or ye know, we went up the park and scored immediately.

 

Should have made changes long before he did the night.

Hope he learns from it.

 

He changed it at HT when we were cruising v Motherwell, we have 5 subs to utilise, why not change it earlier..?

 

Good to hear him highlight our weakness at set pieces.

 

It seems like what you said he Ange alluded to in regards to O'riley in this match in the post-march presser.

 

In the space of 3 weeks 2 days.

Hibs disposed off
Through in the Scottish Cup
3 points at Tynecastle
Last min winner with 10 men v D Utd
Scum PUMPED at Paradise
Motherwell PUMPED away from home
3 points at Pittodrie

6 league games, 18 points, new signings, next round of the cup, Top of the league…


* COME ONNNNNNN

 

Outstanding start to 2022. Let's give some fringe players a run out on the weekend and then put the tie to bed at Parkhead next Thursday. Mon!!

 

Only game I'm worried about upcoming is Livi away.

Dundee, St Mirren and Ross County at home should be easy wins.
Hibs are utterly horrendous and we should be pumping them even at Easter road.

Beat Livingston and it'll be a major boost for the end of the season.
