Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
We settled almost immediately after they scored.
Except for Morelos being clean through on our goalkeeper prior to the equaliser.

He was flagged offside - wrongly

2nd goal was a mess too
Ffs. Maybe we shouldn’t bother playing the semi because they’re just too good for us!

A game is full of “ifs” and “ what ifs”, how long have you watched football?

In the 6-2 game they “ could “ have been 3-3 before half time but didn’t take their chances. And there are countless other examples.
On Sunday, the Celts took 3 of their chances, and won the game. Sickened the hun. Enjoy.

He was a yard offside -- the useless lump was born offside. It was an easy decision for the linesman. Stop making stuff up.

He was not flagged offside wrongly. Maybe watch it again without having Liam McLeod's erroneous commentary ringing in your ears.

He was offside. The reason he was offside is in large part a good description of why he is not a very good footballer. His game awareness is often utterly appalling.

I don't think we will see a back 3 against the huns again. At times they were blindly launching it quickly into the corners and got a bit of joy.
We didn't play a back three on Sunday, though.
All right. This has been driving me nuts and I can't find a definitive answer in the manager interviews I've seen.

I really thought it was a back three (Ajer, Simunovic, Boyata) with Tierney playing up high on the left (meaning he was miles upfield, for example, when Boyata lost the ball to Windass).

So what was the formation???

Brendan is an exceptional manager and as a previous poster mentioned, we all make mistakes and so does he, but not many. He is the best thing to happen for us in years and we should savour every moment he is with the club. People moaning about starting line -ups, well fair enough, we all think we are would be managers, but this guy is with these players day in and day out and can see who is ready, who is fragile, who is up for it etc. If some of his selections on match day play badly or make horrendous mistakes ala - Boyata - that is not something Brendan can control. That is simply life, I can feel shampoo hot one day go out and make a right arse of my day - players do to. We won and we won well on Sunday, if we hadn`t made mistakes at the back, it would probably have been 3 or 4 nil. Let`s stop questioning the strengths of an exceptional manager just because players aren`t responding as well as they did last season. There are lots of reasons, so many injuries this year and more importantly...so many games...let`s not forget that we have played far more games than anyone in Scotland and as Brendan said, Rangers have been on holiday, one game a week, maybe two now and again, but lets see how they cope under pressure. They didn`t, we did, say it all. Thank you Brendan for great decisions and for Scot Brown - a monster of a player :rocker:

No chance Rodgers will go to Southampton. The whole club is setup for a disposable coach to be in charge of the first-team, so I doubt they’d be interested in him either.
No chance. He’d only get sold to Liverpool

I'd characterise the formation we have been playing lately as a very lopsided (or fluid) 4-2-3-1. It quickly becomes a three at the back when we have the ball because Tierney often gets so high up on the left. It often tends to look as if Forrest is playing as a wing back and Ajer as an RCD. One of the issues is that Forrest seems to receive too much of the ball 10 yards deeper than we would want him too and is dependent on the central players to link with him.

Another feature of Sunday was McGregor in the left position playing a bit narrower, much more so than Forrest was on the other side.

If you look at our average position data from CL games where it is available Tierney is often more advanced than Brown and the other sitting midfielder.

Given Ajer's starting position and KT's usual bombing up the wing we basically did. Ajer was really tucked in. There were acres down the right.

No more than we usually have under Rodgers.

It's a back four with the left back going further forward and the right back going in when he does. Lustig usually does the same. When the team was setting up it was four across the back, with Ajer playing right back. Ajer also done his fair share of bombing up the line. He was in their final third to 'foul' Murphy, for example.

We settled down, once we equalised, but those suggesting we weren't in any real bother are at it.

Morelos gave our CB's a torrid time despite his woeful finishing.



See this mince about Morelos :ffs: He gave no one a torrid time. Absolutely no one.

One of his chances was down to a eff up by Boyata and even then he is too pish to take advantage. And then there was his miss that made his last open goal miss look a tough chance.

He puts himself about but he very rarely beats a defender or runs at them. He also won very little in the air. Mental to say he gave us a torrid time. It just didn't happen.

Jozo megged.
Jozo sent off after putting his arm across cos he was worried about getting done for pace.
Boyata all over the place at the second goal.
Boyata completely selling himself and being skinned by him for his shot which Ajer got back at and Bain saved.

He's an average forward who is capable of tormenting defenders. Jozo and Boyata don't look comfortable marking him and he will continue to get chances against them. Whether he can actually finish one of them is another story.

Torment? Jebus.

I expect Boyata and Jozo will probably never recover from their Ibrox torment, and only made it out of there alive because of a man called Scott Bain. It was like Hacksaw Ridge, so it was.

We have seen both these guys play well at times and also horrendously badly. They will not suddenly become consistent and reliable. Brendan must replace both if we are to move forward.

Ok. Maybe tormenting is a bit much but he can be a pain in the arse. Regardless, Boyata and Simunovic don't look comfortable playing against him or that type of player in general.

As, Lubo once said (or was it Dr Jo?)..."back home, we have a saying: everyone is a general after the war...."

Well done Brendan. Your team overcame two utterly howling defensive calamities (1st goal and red card) to give, for me, the best of all our Sevco victories.
Victory has a thousand fathers, defeat is an orphan.
