A good game to remind us were still top of the league. So any hun lurkers, get it up ye!

 

A dundee side who have just sacked their manager and their replacement is in the stands for this game, there is absolutely no reason this isn't comfortable

Hart
Juranovic CCV Starfelt Scales
Mcgregor O'Riley
Hatate
Abada Giakoumakis Jota

Need to show an example here, think we'll win 2-0 but I'm really hoping we pump them.

 

Surprised to see a couple of people suggesting we start Rogic and drop O’Riley.

Not a chance.

 

Hart

Ralston (rotate with Jo)
Carter-Vickers
Starfelt
Taylor (this game won't be an issue, even though he's diabolical)

McGregor
O'Riley
Hatate

Doak
Jackie
Jota

Freshen it up..

 

No way Ange is going to drop Taylor imo, and if he does it'll be for Scales. Don't think we'll see Juranovic at RB again unless we need to.

Hart

JJ (been out so can do with the minutes)
CCV
Starfelt
Taylor

McGregor
O'Riley
Hatate

Forrest (was good tonight tbf)
GG
Jota

Doak, Abada, Rogic and Maeda off the bench.

 

Dundee will come and park the bus on the 18 yard line. We need to ready to go from the first minute and play with real intensity.

O’Riley Hatate

Abada Giakoumakis Jota ​

 

We now know that we aren't anywhere near the finished article after tonight's performance. So, we need to make sure we don't take anything for granted against the so called lesser teams and be on it from the start against every team we play. We now need to suck tonight's defeat up, regroup and start again on Sunday against Dundee.

On paper looks easy but can see it being quite horrible.

3-1.

AR, CCV, Big CJ, JJ
CMcG, MO'R and Reo
JF GG and Jota

That would leave us with the option of Abada, Maeda, Tam, from the bench.
Should be ideal game for CJ to get some game time.

 

I’d start O’Riley but not surprised either, because would you ever rule out an outstanding Rogic performance against Dundee with Charlie Adam trying to mark him?

Weird game this one as well though, they were building up a bit of form and then they sacked the manager. No idea how they’ll lone up now, or how they’ll approach it. So we need to ignore that and make sure our games at the level that will ignore whatever they do and blow them away.

 

Think Forrest proved he’s still a viable option when he came on tonight but not enough to displace Abada, he’s the best source for a goal when Kyogo’s still out. He’s stepped it up majorly to be the guy that provides the finish in his absence.

But aye could also be a good chance for Forrest to win back some confidence and have him he danger of Abada coming in full of fire to make sure the RW is his still his position.

Do you want O’Riley in the deep role and Calmac further up btw or is it just the three you want in midfield?

 

Wouldn't start dropping players galore, basically full team, probably moving scales in. Id play Giakoumakis though.

Games like these rogic and oriley should be fine as we'll have all the ball, its when its in Europe or more difficult domestic games you might go with one or other (rogicnfor me).

 

Drop Taylor for scales, rogic for hatate and I'm 50 50 on GG or maeda

 

Must admit I am not very confident of winning this league now after watching last night shambles
