He’s had his taste now, so a home game is where I’d look to introduce him from the start. We’ll need plenty energy to dominate v this team who’ll come out to hound us at every opportunity. You thinking Beni and Devlin in centre midfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEHEART1874 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) 1-0 da jambos. I still think some of our attacks are too slow. Eg. Barry mackay in space looking for the easy pass, but the ball just goes sideways to halket first then eventually to mackay who by now is getting closed down ;( The opposition now have 5 or 6 defenders back dealing with about 2 or 3 from us and getting blocks etc. in and we only end up with corners resulting in hee haw.

Captain Canada Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think it will be 1-0 to us. It will be interesting to see the lineup and formation after last week's draw. Do we revert to a 3-4-3 or go more attacking again? My team would be: Gordon Halkett Souttar Cochrane Gino Beni Devlin Kingsley Woodburn Boyce McKay Subs: Stewart, Moore, Haring, Smith, GMS, Armand and McEneff Gino as a wing back is unorthodox but I'd hope at home to Livi we'll be on the front foot a lot and he'll cause more issues in an attacking sense than Smith.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 😂 This thread is heading towards the Classics already…. 900 minutes without a goal against Livi. No home wins this season. We are clearly due a goal or 2 against Livi and it is also clear they aren’t quite as stuffy as in last seasons despite last weeks result. I’d go back to 3-4-3. Bring Cochrane back in. Rest GMS. Play McKay as attacking right sided midfielder. Devlin beside Beni. Keep Gnando in team - Boyce and Woodburn tucked in and around him.

Ford Prentice Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) With the players we have sooner or later we'll have a game when everything clicks into place and the ball keeps hitting the back of the net.

Sub4TiddlerMurray Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) GMS has been influential in each of the last 3 games either by winning penalties or playing Boyce in to score, but otherwise his contributions have not been that great and he does love to sky a sitter. He's due a spell on the bench for me. I'd like to see a Beni/Haring/Devlin midfield. I don't think Ross County would've got a free pop at goal for the first one if Haring had been in there. Devlin certainly made an impact when he came on against Ross County and we simply can't drop Beni. That trio would own the midfield with Haring spraying the passes forward. With McKay used in the RWB role, Kingsley and the trio could shuffle across to cover when BMc goes on a wander. I'd also like to see Woodburn given a bit more freedom rather than scrapping away in a congested midfield area. No idea if this formation is one that any team uses but I'd go for: Gordon Soutar Halkett Cochrane McKay Beni Haring Devlin Kingsley Boyce Woodburn Edited September 22, 2021 by Sub4TiddlerMurray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Can’t wait for this one. Hopefully we can put extreme pressure on them from the off and get an early goal. I don’t believe any game will be easy, but would love us to convert more of our chances and it would be amazing win by a couple or more. Id imagine they will be in our faces but that won’t intimidate our squad, not any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davie1980 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I thought that the RC and Motherwell game were the potential banana skins in this 3 game run Livi at home should get battered And I don't care that Celtic were crap and slipped up.

Bazzas right boot Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 The thing is with GMS- If he was assisting, winning penalties and even scoring as he's done but then scored even more he'd never be with us in the first place. He's with us because he's not the complete player and is frustrating at times. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
