Ricardo Quaresma Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 1 minute ago, Carter said: You referring to Danilo winner? I thought Kent was entirely at fault. He saw the Tavernier cross from the point of delivery. The fourth on Saturday was horribly similar. Kent has been superb for the most part this season. Rowles has improved vastly in recent months from being weak and easily bullied. Saturday was really bad from him though. Entirely? Was he in goals then?

At this point I’m convinced he’s doing it deliberately to wind folk up, because there’s no way someone can be this genuinely stupid Quite ludicrous comments re Shankland from that poster. What I will say though, and he's possibly alluding to this, when Shankland does leave (summer in all likelihood) we'll see a different attacking approach I suspect. I'm pretty sure Naismith will favour a very mobile and inter changeable front 3 in a 433 structure. We do play a particular way that suits Shankland and that's entirely logical given his goalscoring exploits. We'll most likely play very differently post Shankland.

Correct. Dropping a striker that is averaging a goal a game for about the last 20 games would be professional negligence / suicide and thankfully Naismith isn’t that stupid.

Dexter for example played Duk out the game, as Toby did with the aforementioned two at Tynecastle before the frankly disastrous move to CH. Atkinson and Cochrane/Kingsley may struggle one on one.

Kent is caught under the ball at both goals. I do agree that a goalkeeper should ideally be coming for that, particularly as he can see it all the way and can take pressure off. But Kent shouldn't be seeing that cross from the point of delivery and getting done like that - twice. We do like to afford Tavernier the freedom of the right side of the park though.

Jambof3tornado Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 4 hours ago, H2 said: 100% agree that we need to work harder than hibs, be aggressive, get stuck right in. Beni's back passes and square balls are a no no. A slow game in a derby is a no no. But it is the belief the hard work and higher quality that can result is a 7 goal trouncing. We need to recover at least 5 after Saturday! Be on the "A game". I wouldnt have Beni near the starting 11. Nowhere near where he was and stalling on signing a contract. Game over for him as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go as far as to say I’d rather see Sibbick at RB ahead of Dexter (if it’s a 4 at the back). It’s 3 not very good options, let’s be honest and needs addressing in the summer. Absolutely correct. Dexter looks shocking defensively, I really hope we don't start him in a flat back 4 on Wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 They definitely have goals in them. Boyle, Marcondes, Maolida, Youan, Vente and Le Fondre are all capable of creating chances. Their back line is atrocious though and their midfield really isn’t anything special. If we win the midfield battle then we limit them to counter attacks. If we limit them to counter attacks then we do need high energy defensive players to track runners so I do think there is merit in the Devlin and Sibbick suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If Naismith has learned anything about who rises in a derby he’d get Devlin back in. Esp off the back of a heavy defeat. We need a couple of players in there who are fearless and do the hard running. Players who their team mates will see are ready to lead by example and blow away any fears of cageyness after Saturday. It takes a mix of course but I think there isn’t a better time to reintroduce Devlin. I’d also be looking at Tait or Fraser along with Nieuwenhoff.

It takes a mix of course but I think there isn’t a better time to reintroduce Devlin. I’d also be looking at Tait or Fraser along with Nieuwenhoff. Would really like Tait to start this one. I wanted him to start at Ibrox, purely on the basis out of all our midfield players he retains the ball better than anyone. He just keeps it simple, passes it, moves into space and takes it back. Its priceless in games where you don't get a lot of the ball. I'm not sure he will put him in, however if the Liverpool game on Sunday is anything to go by and giving youngsters an opportunity in a big game, then Naismith could do worse than play him. He's played Denholm from the start in a derby and I think Tait is a level above him. I wouldn't be against Devlin playing either if he is fit enough to start. Remember he has had 3 months out or so and only had 2 sub appearances, so not sure if his levels will allow a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
