Charlie Mulgrew

[MoncurMacdonaldMercer]

Mulgrew just thinks hearts will crumble - he’s either just ignoring stuff or hasn’t been ar$ed doing any research - plus the Celtic stuff ofc

he thought Hibs would beat us he thought killie would beat us 

 

Celtic could easily hit their stride and win yet another league easily but that can happen without hearts crumbling and with hearts still having a great season - we’re going to lose and draw games including ones we’ll be disappointed with

 

not entirely impossible rangers go on run and challenge for 2nd - impossible for hibs still to challenge ??

 

all possible - the likelihood of hearts crumbling with this squad and manager = (almost) nil

I would rather he was at Tynecastle next Sunday after we’ve pumped them and then see the rat squirm.  Whatever happened to Andy Walker?

Last season, Aberdeen were picking up wins when playing some ordinary football. They beat us at Pittodrie after Grant's stupid sending off when we were the better team. In truth, they were not that good. We are a much better team than they were. 

 

Yeah, I remember their run and certainly they were getting lucky in a lot of games where the were second best but got a goal. Now good teams can get a win from being second best and it being a sign of why they are so good, but normally its a one off. Aberdeen was the norm rather than the exception and thats when things need changing, something they did not do.

 

We have got last minute goals this season, but normally it has been when we have been the better team or turned momentum in the game. Other games like today we have either controlled the game or set up with the right game plan.

Celtic have got loads. Their best player has openly admitted he doesn’t want to be there. Their captain is finished. Their goalie is 4 stone overweight. They are still playing Liam ****ing Scales at centre half!

This is precisely why we just have to look after our own games at the moment, play who’s in front of us and not worry about what we can’t control. It’s almost exactly how McInnes views it

 

I don’t think we’ll crumble but I don’t think we’ll win the league either. Although we’re seeing Celtic appear to struggle, they’re still finding ways to win and they’re still capable of going on a 20 game streak.

 

HOWEVER. They do look fragile, like one defeat could lead to another and before you know it, we’ve got a gap. We’d need that gap to grow a fair bit because we’ll get really nervy in the home straight if it’s close. The only way I see us winning is if we build a gap by February/March that they just can’t catch. We grow it to 5 points next week and it really is game on

we’ll lose games they’ll lose games

 

as del says we need to try to keep our bad days to the minimum

 

even if we win next week doesnt massively change things imo - likewise a loss doesnt mean the bubble’s burst blah blah etc

 

if we hang in there i think it will be close i personally cant see a 12-point gap or something building up - we’ll get nervy but we’ll either handle it or we wont - theyll get nervy for different reasons but many of them have proven they could handle it in the past which is definitely a help

I think they’d handle a close run in better than us, simply because they’ve been there so many times. I’d hate for us to lose a run in and get the ‘bottlers’ label back because that’s what would happen. I still think our best chance is having a reasonable cushion to defend. Doesn’t need to be 12 points (although that’s dream time if it happens) but enough that you can have a little wobble or 2 and still be out in front

i agree it will be difficult to take if we lose it in the last few games

 

since we ‘bottled’ it last celtic have chucked away about 5 titles including at least 2 on the last day and at least 1 in the last 2 minutes

 

rangers have chucked away a couple including clement at dundee and ross county recently

 

fergies aberdeen were being called bottlers until they won something after a couple of near misses

 

if it comes down to it we’ll either handle it or we wont - like fergies aberdeen and plenty others we might need a couple of near misses before landing hopefully the 1st of many

It’s never going to be ‘easy’ to win it. It generally means being the best team over an 8-9 month period.

 

BUT it’s also probably never going to be ‘less difficult’ than it looks to be this season. They won’t BOTH be this much under par for very long

I thought Mulgrew was a manager now. Turns out that lasted five minutes so he's now got a golf TikTok channel on the go.

Love it when theses clowns say we don't have the squad. We have more choice than Celtic, who are an injury away from a striker crisis and have a striker who wants away. Even if all we do is make them panic spend in January then that's a result. 

 

If Carter Vickers and McGregor get injured or suspended I'm saying they're goosed.   No depth , no leadership.

 

Hearts will piss all over Celtic and the Celtic sycophants , Mulgrew as the current chief Syco'

[bobbysmalls]

Mathematically its all possible right now

 

I'm enjoying it, but let's not get carried away. Mulgrew might be a bit too dismissive but Celtic will spend in January whether or not if we're still in and about it. And if we are, the fact we've got Chesney coming in and prob the money to boost further will make it interesting. But they have a team used to fighting for titles and know what it takes.

 

If we are within single figures of top come April or even March I think he will be considering his words and id be happy with that

Surely by now someone on twitter has clipped his comments from today and stitched them together with the old Mulgrew "That sounds bitter that. Pure ragin, isn't he?" clip

We can probably go and spend 1 million on 2 or 3 Kyziridis and Braga’s. Might not need to with Chesney and Ageu still to join the fun train. 
 

Im still firmly in the “it’s unlikely but wait and see what happens” brigade. But we’re sure putting in the grit and determination needed to make a decent go of it. 

This is surely what Tony Bloom and JTA are banking on. 
 

I’d love to see the JTA numbers for some of Celtics signings. No doubt they have for a lot right, but when they panic and spend £10 on the likes of Idah - it can only be seen as a waste of cash

You would feel that Mulgrew’s record at Kelty Hearts would make TV think twice about employing him as a pundit. Mulgrew must come very cheap in terms of fee. A serious broadcaster would have Robbo to provide balance. Interesting to see apart from Boyd and McFadyen who Sky will have on next week.

[Victor Meldrew]

The "Hearts will inevitably crumble" line is just lazy and ignores the critical point here: squad depth.

 

The reason why non-OF teams tend to fall away is the greater strength in depth that Celtic and Rangers usually have. When the fixtures come thick and fast and injuries and suspensions take their toll, that's usually when the OF gain the advantage.

 

The difference this year is that we have a better squad than Rangers. Our strength in depth is on a different level to anything we've had before. Whilst Romanov bought stupid numbers of players, there is clearly a far greater degree of cohesion and strategy behind the assembly of the current squad which has high quality players ready to come into most positions. Looking at the starting XI, it's hard to think of a single player about whom you could say that if they were injured, we'd be screwed. Perhaps only Schwolow at the moment.

 

Rangers have some major rebuilding work to do and won't be able to do it in January. 

 

Add to all of this the lack of European football (or the League Cup) Our squad has much more opportunity  not only to recover between matches, but to focus on one competition until the Scottish Cup starts. Take the next week, for example: we have just over 7 full days, whereas Celtic play. today and then midweek. Much less chance for players to recover from knocks etc.

 

I'm really not saying we'll win the league - merely that the main factor that usually results in the OF being 1 and 2 at the end of the season really isn't there at the moment.

[RustyRightPeg]

A reminder Mulgrew got sacked from Kelty Hearts for trying to have his team playing like Athletico Madrid (genuine).

[gordiegords]

Came accross as a total tit tbh, had at least two digs at us

 

“enjoy it while it lasts, because it won’t.”

 

he’s desperate for us to lose and good on del for calling them out.

[Vlad Magic]

Mulgrews attitude is one of fear and denial. Or complete and total naivety. Either way he isn’t the only one. We are ruffling a few feathers. The establishment are hoping through blind faith that we will run out of steam. History says we can’t keep it going right? Well history is there to be made. 
 

Mulgrew will have to have a rethink along with a lot of others praying we fall at the next hurdle. Or the one after that. 
 

The longer this goes on the more desperate they get.

 

 

[pettigrewsstylist]

Dont like him, but he had a point. We are coming up with solutions at the moment, but we dont have balanced depth, currently. Plenty up top and in central defence and goalkeepers. We had Alan Forrest on pitch yesterday.

The only thing he said that carried even a hint of positivity was the Sir Alex Ferguson comparison, and to be fair, there’s some truth in it. But by behaving the way he did before reaching that realisation, he actually reinforced Derek’s attitude and helped fuel that siege mentality. If they keep acting like that across the board, it only benefits us.
 

I don’t want them predicting our success, I want them to offer the odd compliment for a performance, sure, but beyond that? Let them keep denying what’s happening.

We will lose at some point, hopefully not, but should it happen that’ll be their big “told you so” moment. Fine. We reset, we go again, and we keep winning while they keep dismissing it all until it’s too late.

Bob's your uncle, and the flag is in the bag!

We had Kabore, Kabungu and Kerjota on the bench,we only brought on Kabungu out of those 3 so still some options there and Wilson wasn't even in the squad.

We dont have squad depth chuck says looking at celtic team and bench without maeda its not that great plus tierney never seems fully fit. 

Celtic team to play Dundee

Kasper Schmeichel

Anthony Ralston

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Liam Scales

Kieran Tierney

Reo Hatate

Callum McGregor

Benjamin Nygren

Yang Hyun-Jun

Kelechi Iheanacho

Sebastian Tounketi

 

Substitutes: Sinisalo, Balikwisha, McCowan, Kenny, Engels, Donovan, Saracchi, Murray, Forrest. No wonder brenda wants out stronger last season.

"I think they have weaknesses in their squad".

 

Obviously follow up for Charlie - Where? 

 

GK - Happy with, although hasn't properly been tested yet

RB - Conceded, McEntee isn't a RB, and Borch hasn't been able to get going to reassure us

CB - Happy, Halks one of the best in the league

CB - Happy, Findlay very, very solid

LB - Milne/Kinglsey, both excellent

RM - Kerjota/Milne, Not seen enough of Kerjota yet, Milne doing a stand up job

CM - Devlin, Best ball winner in the league

CM - Beni, Excellent footballer, and excellent ball winner

LM - Kyzi, Best winger in the league

ST - Shankland, hyper intelligent footballer, and brilliant finisher

ST - Braga, absolute workhorse that is scoring regularly

 

Goalkeepers: Very happy with the depth we have here. 

 

Defenders: Don't love our RB situation, but its manageable, Bit worried Halks could breakdown again but other than that. Very strong

 

Midfielders: Defensively, very sound. Beni & Devlin among the best and most reliable defensive double act. Critically, neither off enough in an attacking sense. But we have Ageu to come back, who based on what we saw against Livi looks like the missing piece of the jigsaw, Hoff, could IMO come in and offer more attacking nous than Devlin or Beni, but whether that would work in a midfield 2 remains to be seen. 

 

Wingers: Kyzi, looks to be the best in the league and I'm not even joking. Stats wise he is smashing it, and was terrorising Killie yesterday. Kerjota looks excellent, and the reports from training seem to be that he is technically as good as Kyzi. Forrest is very poor, in fairness, so depth here maybe not as good as it could be. Equally though, we do still have Chesny to come in over the winter break. 

 

ST - Over the moon with our attacking threats here. Shankland is excellent, and if the ball drops to him in the box, more often than not it will be a goal. Braga is like Devlin in terms of being a ridiculously hardworking player, and he's scoring goals/ just looks to be an absolute menace. Kabore to come in, but has a decent track record. Elton, very good cover and can stretch teams. Wilson, lagging a bit behind in terms of experience, but a very good young player

 

Conclusion:

 

Charlie Mulgrew is being an ill-informed, arrogant twat. RB we need to sort, CM we need a bit more dynamic play. RM is a tactical decision, and we do still have Kerjota who can come on there. But this team is not as weak as he was alluding to.
