[Official TC Thread] Hamilton V Celtic, Friday 26 February 2016, 7.45pm, BT Sport 1

Aberdeen beat us with 10 men.

1-0 up, 10 men, you can defend it. No doubt.

 

Think he is meaning progression on Ronny's system & style mate. Where is this fast free flowing entertaining football, high tempt, high pressing? We all gave Ronny the benefit of the doubt when we got put out the CL in his first season as we understood it would take him time to set up his style, then we would see the progression. I don't see any progression on when he first got the job I gave up on him after the 2nd Molde game as Molde played the same system against Fenerbache before playing us in the first game & we played right in to their hands & Ronny stated he did not watch a video of this game * He then plays the exact same system against Molde in the 2nd game & we get ripped apart again

 

Aye, we should be able to see the game out comfortably even with 10 players.

It's Hamilton christ sake.

 

Looking back we had chances to kill it off and Hamilton hardly had any clear cut chances, a lucky deflection from the block and falls right in the path of that guy in the box. It's happened too many times this season where the pressure is on we don't kill off the game which just encourages the opponents.
That for me is down to lack of quality and experience from players and management not taking necessary steps to change it after seeing it happen several times.

 

GMS was the worst, all he had to do was drag it round the keeper and stick it in but he bottled it and just hit it at the keeper.

 

He had accepted defeat even before he struck it, the lack of conviction was embarrassing.

 

He hesitated and I think initially he was trying to take it with his left.

 

After watching the last few games what is alarming is the lack of belief and desire from the players, on these performances there is no chance of qualifying for the C.L. group stages and can look forward to a repeat of the Europa league from this season. We will probably win the league but the future isn't very bright looking at the moment

 

No one has mentioned Sviatchenkos "goal"

Should the ref played advantage on his goal? Ive seen it done before. Either way im glad he can bang them in. we're needing to create more goals from corners.

 

Saw it as well but he had blown the whistle before it even reached Erik, as you say should of played advantage really.

 

I wonder if we'll ever find out what causes us to be able to beat Ajax and Fenerbahce, Hamilton 8 1 at home yet struggle to create chances at their ground?

I know we drew, but only because of silly errors, I actual play was excellent.

Last week Ronny changed tactics at half time and we came out a different team.

I was glad he just left 3 at the back after the red.

But the tactics were basically the same. How could we make a change last week when we were * and not last night?

It was obvious Hamilton were squeezing us out wide and then preventing us from doing anything there. Scott Allan and Tierney were getting closed down quickly. Allan should have been moved more central. Sometimes I wonder why we have wingers anyway as we don't have any tall players in open play to cross a ball to.

You're right about the future not looking bright. That performance kind of said to me we don't know how to get it right as they are happening too often now.

One day someone will write it in an Autobiography, the lack of enthusiasm we display one week then a full on uptempo positive display the next.

 

I think Boyata should have stayed on the park. The ball was played to Hamilton's Morris, the direction of his run was actually taking him slightly wide of goal and not directly towards. This factors a yellow card and Boyata also got a slight touch of the ball.

 

Plus, he was offside.

 

Pish.

Pish pish pish.

Pish.

Sigh.

 

We never beat Ajax or fenerbache, and it's because we're *.

 

To be fair Johnny Hayes got his red card in that game on 72 minutes. Boyata was sent off yesterday on 42 minutes. Having said that we created more then enough chances in the second half to have gone 2-0 up and killed the game off long before they got their goal. When Griffiths missed the PK that was the third gilt edged chance we missed to go 2-0 up in the second half. Very disappointed not to pick up the 3 points in that game.

 

Not been said much too but the 2nd penalty we got Sviatchenko scored the header from that corner although the whistle went when the ball was half way crossed in but he would still have won the header had play continued might not have scored though.

 

It was a goal scoring opportunity, if Boyata missed that tackle then he's 1 on 1, but he got the ball first therefore a good tackle. It's either a good tackle or a free kick and red card.

 

I hate Dougie Imrie..
