Black 3 Only intersted in kicking or being kicked, with Mroweic doing the holding job, he shoukld be looking to contribute a lot more. Obua 4 Cant remember him getting or trying to get involved at all Templeton 4 A day when it did not come of for him, good shot though. Sutton 5 Will it happen for him in a Hearts top? Elliott 5 Tried hard, but should do better with strikes on goal. Skacel 6 Looks the part Novikovas 6 Got some crosses in. Stevenson 4 Is a trier We have a squad imo but do we have a manager who can make them tick???? Mroweic/Black/Obua as holding midfielders will not work at home imo. Skacel and Robinson were on the bench who can offer ten times the commitment / attitude / drive of Black/Obua....................and why take off two centre forwards and throw on Stevenson(midfielder) when we are one down when we have a centre forward (Smith) on the bench?

I don't think we where that bad today, had chances to score but think the strikers are toiling to take them, Elliott just doesn't seem to have goals in him and Sutton looked a carthorse, hope he improves. I would have had obua or adriaan off at halftime with another winger, utd were always going to sit back and soakup pressure. Rudi looks our only real quality!

rudi must stay Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 6 not to blame for the goal, and made a number of good saves McGowan - 6 decent defensively but looked nervous going forward Zaluikas - 5 apparently to blame for the goal, apart from that he was rarely troubled Jonsson - 6 sound defensively but seemed abit too keen to play the ineffective long-ball Grainger - 6 not sure about him in defence but he's certainly good attacking wise Templeton - 6 not sure his performances have dropped, the defenders seem to have worked him out though Obua - 6 fair play to him, he seems to have an improved attitude in his new position. There are times he needs to speed it up abit though Mrowiec - 7 MOTM for me, same as he did on Thursday he won everything. Black - 5 probably not a good enough passer of the ball to play attacking midfield Sutton - 6 no service Elliott - 5 tried hard as he always does. But he should have had a few today Subs Skacel - 6 yes there are reasons we shouldn't re-sign him, but the guy makes a big difference to the way we play. And you couldn't replace him very easily if he did go Novikovas - 6 a promising cameo.

Flimsy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 7 - one amazing save McGowan - 5 - hung out to dry by tactics, no midfield support Grainger - 7 - excellent first half, difficult second Zaliukas - 4 - one interception, one great pass, everything else calamitous Jonsson - 6 - I think we should persist with him at centre half Black - 4 - Mr Angry Mrowiec - 6 - effective without the ball, useless with it Obua - 5 - passed from side to side but not creative, disappeared in the 2nd half Templeton - 5 - one great shot, one good cross, did nothing else right Elliot - 4 - there to score goals and failed Sutton - 4 - looks out of his depth and not up for the battle Skacel - 6 - good cameo, signing him could be the difference between a good and a bad season Stevenson - 5 - showed the battling qualities Sutton couldn't Novikovas - 4 - a bit of a weakling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello 7 Looked solid enough with a great save. Distribution not always sharp enough. McGowan 6 Never really "done" but seemed far too tentative. Puzzling following on from a great show last week. Zaliukas 5 OK in some aspects, good in some and murder in others. Does NOT spread confidence. Jonsson 5 Hoof. Affected by fear of Zal I reckon but never looked comfortable. Grainger 7 Good engine and crossing. Best player. Mroweic 6 Industrious but very limited in terms of quality. Did not bad. Black 4 Poor start and got involved in needle too easily. Put him right off any quality of passing he has. Obua 4 Too much on the edge of things, and wanted too much time on the ball in a busy midfield. Templeton 4 Not operating with any confidence, which seems to be the major part of his game. At least kept trying. Sutton 5 Too early to write off but not inspiring. Needs to try harder but also needs to be used better. Elliott 5 Poor quality finishing. Could have had a couple and i'd have been saying 8. Skacel 6 Gave the team a lift, but didn't have enough time to pull it off. Novikovas 5 Decent skill but too intent on beating more players than was required to get a cross in. Stevenson 4 Tries hard, but no real quality. And the dive at the end........

Paris 84 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 8 one world class save in the first half, nothing wrong. McGowan - 6 looks to have potential to make the position his own Eggart - 4 totally predictable, every pass is an adventure Zal - 4 how many goals can one guy be responsible for without being dropped, never mind retain the captaincy. Grainger - 7 looks like a good full back with the added bonus of having good delivery, and linked well going forward. Black - 4 everything I don't like in a footballer, arogant, petty, thinks he's better than he is, bad attitude. Moroweic - 3 simply an awful footballer with zero creation at all. Surely we deserve better than watching this guy, especially at home. Obua - 4 one of his best games for us. Temps - 5 not his best game by any stretch, but he's still the only guy in the starting 11 that United had to worry about. Elliott - 2 if he hadn't scored two at Easter Road he'd be a boo boy by now, a truly horrible performance. Sutton - Is he the most immobile forward in the SPL? Manager - 1 simply woeful performance. First of all he sets up with a midfield where apart from Temps every single one wants to go across the park not forward. He shuffles the team after it's blatently obvious we'll never score in a month of Sundays and does absolutely nothing (yet again) to sort out the Midfield. Why not put Rudi on instead of Moroweic and put Temps into the hole behind Sutton/Stevenson, why not put on Robinson instead of Black? Unfortunately, just exactly as we had last season, if the opposition stop Temps we have no other source of inspiration. Every move is laboured, slow and obvious. To start again this season with no attacking midfielder, a box to box type of player (which isn't Taouil) is nothing short of criminal. Stop Temps and we create nothing other than set pieces. The Jim Jefferies who came to the club in the early 90's wouldn't put up with the type of player or hunger from players that he's tolerating now. Guys like; Zaliukas, Black, Obua, Moroweic, Jonnson & Elliott would have been hunted long before now. That's my real worry...............the manager's too comfy.

Gambo Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Maybe you should first explain your own mark for the man who cost us the goal. Defenders will always be blamed for loss of goals, he lost his man but also defensively the ball was allowed to get to daly unchallenged, the whole team have to have a look at themselves, Zal made plenty of fk ups today, hence his mark, but at least he tried to make things happen for us, more than can be said for Black and Obua, two players who should have been taking control. A lot of the defenders missplaced passes were due to Black/Obua not making themselves available. This is probably down to the way JJ asked them to play tbh. JJ has fkb up at Ibrox (not bringing on like for like when on top and Temps injured), fkd up by being very cautious in Hungary when after ten mins it was obvious they were not up to much, then today he decided at home to go with 3 holding players whilst having Skacel/Robinson on bench, and also subbing two forwards with midfielders when Smith is available. We have a squad, do we have a manager to get the best out of them, 1 win in 14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggle Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 6 - Fantastic stop before goal, distribution was questionable in 2nd half McGowan - 5 - Tried hard, look uncomfortable on the ball but hung out to dry by poor tactics and no right midfield Zali - 4 - Turned off too many times. Did try to drive forward but became too predictable with passes Eggert - 6 - Played well enough, tackled well but too many pointless long balls humped forward in hope Grainger - 7 - MOM, got forward and got some good balls in. Got wreckless towards the end with persistant fouls Black - 3 - Took a few sore ones but was supposed to be right midfield and was never there. Spent too long trying to foul Utd players Mroweic - 4 - Few good tackles but void of ideas and ability. As with every player in maroon lost the physical battle Obua - 6 - Tried to get the ball when it wasnt hoofed past him, but wanted too many touches and cannot jump for peanuts Templeton - 4 - Wasnt at the races, too predictable and should have been hooked at 1/2 time Sutton - 5 - Never gambled, might get out of the Utd defenses back pocket sometime tonight. Will warm the bench when Kyle is back. Elliot - 5 - Just didnt happen for him today, alot of huff and puff but lacks clinical finishing Rudi - 5 - Should have replaced Templeton at 1/2 time, had one good shot just wide Novi - 5 - Direct running caused problems, needs more game time Stevenson - 4 - Ran around and tried to make his presence felt, not enough time and never strong enough to bother Kenneth Jefferies - 3 - Took far too long to make the changes and when he did they were the wrong ones. Why oh why does he play so many players out of position to accommodate one or two guys!!??? Might want to explain to players that it is pointless to play hoofball against Utds backline, who mopped up with ease everything punted up to them. Needs to change the tactical dependency of the wingers and get someone who can play the box to box central midfield role. Far to predictable these days.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 8 Saved our skin a few times, not at fault for the goal. McGowan - 6 OK defensively but needs to do more going forward. Not his natuaral position. Zaluikas - 2 didn't pick up his man for the goal and slow and rubbish passing when he had the ball, he is crap Jonsson - 5 OK at defending but just lumped a long ball every time he got posession. Not his natural position. Grainger - 6 not Lee Wallace class but he'll do OK, seemed solid enough. Templeton - 6 Unlucky not to score but well covered by the Utd defenders mostly. Obua 5 - Didn't live up to his new superstar midfielder billing, not his worst game but still didn't do much. Mrowiec - 6 Fought for the cause not the most creative but works hard. Black - 5 Got caught up in squabbles, wide right not his natural postion. Sutton - 5 Didn't win anything in the air, target man probably isn't his game. Elliott - 2 runs about a lot but couldn't hit a coows erse with a banjo. Pathetic excuse for a striker. Subs Skacel 7 - Showed more class than the rest put together. Novikovas 3 - Looked great in the pre match shooting session but nothing much came off for him today. Stevenson - 6 Couldn't fault his effort, the ball he put across the goal should have been tucked away. JJ - See bold above and needs to make subs much earler.

Captain America Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kello - 8 Great save, could do nothing about the goal. McGowan - 5 Ok defensively but offered nothing going forward, never looked ready for the pass and when he did he always looked to pass the ball backwards. I understand it is not his natural position, so this is why he gets 5 instead of 4. Zaluikas - 4 Lost Daly for the goal, too many passes went a stray,needs to be a captain and motivate players more when we go behind. Jonsson - 5 Did the defending part well but distrubution was awful at times. Grainger - 6 Good 1st half, seemed to go out game a bit in 2nd half but still one of best outfield performers. Templeton - 5 Wasn't his day today. Obua 6 - Tried the passes to the wingers today, looked comfortable on the ball, some things didn't come off for him but he is defo better in that position that out on the wing. Mrowiec - 6 Fought for the cause not the most creative but works hard. Black - 2 Got caught up in petty arguments, not his natural postion but offered nothing at right wing Sutton - 5 Won very few headers,target man isn't his game. Needs better service not always long ball Elliott - 4 Two bad misses, wasn't his day. Subs Skacel 6 - Didn't look his usual self, no real impact. Novikovas 6 - Tried to go past his man, needs to be brought into game alot early,(IMO he should have started LW with Temps on RW) Stevenson - 6 Couldn't fault his effort, the ball he put across the goal should have been tucked away. JJ - Has to start playing players in there proper positions, subs need to be made earlier. Much earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckberryno1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Players are being played out of postion when there is no need to. Black- not a right winger 3 holding mids at home- answers on a postcard Our strikers are being asked to play a way that they do not like. ( no excues, Elliot has to at least hit target) We have to good wingers- Novo and temps, and two good penalty box strikers, Sutton in the air and Elliot feeding of scraps. Instead we play long balls and hope for the best, instead of getting to the byline and crossing the ball. Sutton is getting torn a new one here, but I bet he wishes he stayed at M'well, at least they can play football at the basic level- byline, cross. simples We will improve but JJ needs to play to the teams strengths and play players in thier postion, or players will not perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no excuse for Sunday, both were poor. I think we got quite a few good balls in from wide areas, but they failed to make space and when chances fell they both fluffed them. We only resorted to high balls in the second half when we tired and panicked. I would say Obua was not meant to be holding, but the attacking midfielder supporting the strikers - but failed! Black I guess was something they thought would work, but he didn't seem to know where to play! Hopefully never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol1874 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Black - 5 Started okay but faded,begining to annoy me with his petty arguements and stupid fouls. Dundee United set out to wind Black up based on his reputation. They were repeatedly late on him, hoping he'd get himself sent off. Yesterday's rotund referee offered absolutely no protection and I thought Black deserved credit for not rising to the bait. I know he is the new Michael Stewart in that people on here have made there mind up about the guy already so it doesn't really matter what he does, but IMO he has started the season really quite well. I also have to say that United's who approach to yesterday's game was pretty snidey. As well as their blatant attempt at winding up Black, there was the issue of time wasting from the outset of the game which, again, the referee did absolutely nothing about. They are rapidly ascending my list of disliked clubs, a fact which I'm sure will perturb them greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGowan 5 Didn't look like the guy who played at Ibrox Zaliukas 4 fault at the goal and some poor passes Jonsson 6 Grainger 8 MoM Mroweic 7 Best of a weak midfield. Black 3 Obua 4 Cant remember him getting or trying to get involved at all Templeton 4 missing in action Sutton 5 no service Elliott 5 Tried hard, should have scored. Skacel 6 Looks the part Novikovas 5 Got some crosses in. Stevenson 4 Is a trier That's probably how I saw it. Maybe a 6 for Mroweic, but he was certainly the best player in our midfield.
