Kiwidoug Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Read a couple of EEN interviews with Levein. He heavily emphasises his disquiet with our defence. That's deeply concerning to me because it's our inability to score which has frustrated me for years now. Clearly he has a very different mindset to me.

He was criticising fans a couple of weeks ago for moaning on social media and now he says they should boo until we start winning. Naismith was saying the opposite a few days ago in that booing doesn't help. Football wise, we are a mess just now. It doesn't look like it will get better if he thinks that the defence is the thing that needs worked on. If he is going soon, I wonder what media tactics he'll use to get who he wants to replace him? He needs to leave the club completely so we can't put any blame on him if the new manager isn't getting it right. Some fans are saying that getting rid of him and finding a replacement will be costly for the club. We'll see how much he has the clubs interest at heart when it comes to paying him off.

Haken Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 10 hours ago, Mr Kipling said: I just came across this article: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49672414 - posted earlier today (not sure if anyone else has posted it, so apologies if it has already been discussed). The gist of it is that CL believes that better defending will equate to scoring more goals - I'm not sure I follow his view tbh. It is his typical negative mindset - I just want him gone, seriously, it is time for him and his bootroom boys to leave. I guess it depends what 'better defending' means. At its most basic, it's about stopping the opposing team scoring. However, better defending also means making better use of the ball when our defence has it in possession. The first bit is the easier bit. Get the second bit right and the attacking will improve. That's the hard bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot thought he would go after the Livingston debacle, more thought he would be gone at the end of last season, most thought he should have been shoved after the Hamilton game, it seems he is bulletproof. How he is still in a job is beyond me. I don't know if he can get past Motherwell and Aberdeen, but I wouldn't bet against him surviving to Christmas without another win until then. Let's hope (unreasonably) that he'll change his style and have us shooting up the table, but I don't believe he can change and I think hes too stubborn to believe he's not doing it right.

Baxfee Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Actually agree with what CL is saying re defence. The defence has given away shocking goals recently and they have to own this and take responsibility. However, disagree with the booing as it really unsettled the players. Over the years, really seen it get to the team, and not in a good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can start as many threads as they like about backing the club or looking forward to the next game but I believe, in the real world, the fans are at breaking point, and they’ll force the clubs hand very soon.
