Ray Winstone Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 A VERY COMFORTABLE 2-0 win against an 'in-form' team A style of passing football that is beginning to develop Going to within 1 point if third place after Motherwell lose Hibs fail to win again And most importantly...... Poalo Sergio was ROCKING the shirt and tie with maroon cardigan combo....I am DEFINITELY in love with that man. Edit - Mods title should read 'Pleasing' if you would be so kind....

DG_HMFC Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 2nd half performance was the best we've played this season, imo, keep going like that and we'll be a tough team to play against. I thought Obua, and Taouil in particular were standouts in the middle of the park. And if you look at the players we had on the bench, encouraging times.

andrew Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I thought we were pretty poor tbh. Elliott was awful up front and the mix in midfield wasn't working - we had no width whatsoever. I was pleased with the three points but St Mirren were terrible, we'll need to play better than that in our next couple of games if we want to keep winning games.

Could not agree more,thought we were piss poor and if that is the style of play Sergio is going we are in for a long hard season. St Mirren were poor and with a more attacking team playing with wide players we would have ripped them apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Cockade Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 we did enough but nothing special Still feel Rudi and Temps/Novi/Suso would give us far more attacking options All this talk of "we have changed to playing passing football" is Emperor's New Clothes to me Just don't see it We are playing much the same as under JJ but possibly a bit more defensively minded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby2Gibson Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Expected more from them to be honest. They've made some astute signings but most of our difficulties were self inflicted and Jamie Mac won't have an easier win bonus. Taouil gives us the craft and flair we need in the centre of the park. Played fairly narrow - Black never seems too comfortable playing the right mid role - keeps moving into the centre - but second half both Hamill and Grainger provided some width from the back. Thought Stevo was fairly quiet by his recent standards but forced the second off Mair. Obua and Egg as good as they needed to be - and good to see Egg getting a CM run. Think he's been a victim of his willingness to play anywhere for the team - I'd like to see if he can kick on and become the player he looked he could be when he broke through. Not the best game I've ever seen but a win and three points further up the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Not bad at all. We actually played some really nice stuff today and Mehdi and Stevo looked superb at this level. If we can get Temps and Driver fit and firing, we could have a decent team. I thought the 2 centre halves were both excellent. Mrowiec marked Thompson superbly. Thompson's a big, strong lad and Adrian won everything in the air. Zal showed some great skill for a central defender as well. Eggert was quality in centre mid and showed that he probably should be first choice for that position. I wish Paulo had brought on Sutton for Elliott a wee bit earlier and given him some game time. Quite enjoyed it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboozy Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 If we give PS time, he will develop a good team, capable of beating ANY team in Scotland, he set out today to stifle st mirrens passing game and then dominate, PS clearly does his homework and im looking forward to seeing his plans develope.

jambonian Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Took a pal along this afternoon because the guy i go to the games with couldn't get away from work. He hasn't been to Tynie for a competitive game for a few years and he was bored oot his tits during the first half. Said that there's nothing happening from midfield to front and the lack of someone up helping Elliott is shocking. Something we should all know already. Played better in the second half and happy to get 3 points but said it's no surprise the atmosphere was crap watching that all the time. Still.... 3 points is 3 points i suppose but it's not that pleasant to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 The way some people were going on...you would think we had lost the game FFS. It is obvious to the REEL PHAN that we are making progress under PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooders Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I thought we were poor and Str Midden actually broke quicker and more effectively than us. McGowan for Hamill, Hamill for Jonhson and Johnson for Mrowiec. If PS wants to play a passing game then get the players who can pass in their right positions. I would love to see Robinson get more than a token 5 minutes and also Elliott should have been pulled long before he was. PS really needs to utilise the substitutes far better than he has been doing. Other than that we won so we shouldnt be too down hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Stevo was excellent again today, Tauoil and Obua had pretty decent performances. Zal had a great game his skill in the 2nd half on the left wing was superb lol and i honestly thought he was getting booked for his blatant dive. Mrowiec aint no centre half so i forgive him for his poor performance. Elliott worked hard all day long so thumbs up from me. Full backs strolled it and blacky was average. The style we played today was shouting out for rudi to play in behind elliott. Obviously not trying hard enough in training coz he's easily our most talented player and would score plenty and set up plenty in that team. Who else was praying for Sutton to bag one today? Feel sorry for him, i like him and think he should be in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALDOS Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It was a good 3 points, but against tougher opposition this system is going to cause problems as this pool of players are not right for it. Square peg, round hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Elliott, he just does not cut it for me. No pace, urgency and most of all does not seem to have an eye for goal, not great when you are supposed to be a striker.

gorgie_rebel Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Still a bit tippy tappy a lot of the time IMO. Would like to see more movement in the final third and more incisive passing from midfield but do think we're heading in the right direction under PS. We need the strikers to up their workrate in and around the box. That for me is the weakest part of our gameplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfstar Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Firstly we controlled the game and could of go and away with a couple more goals. But if we want to pass the ball, when the defence has it black/eggy need to show for it, the amount of times they were static whe the game was passed around them, we are crying out for a box to box midfielder in this style of team. Also when temps came on the pace quickened and we turned good possession play into attack well. For me pass marks to most apart from black/eggy/elliott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Don't think we were very good at all tbh, but we controlled the match, played some half decent stuff in spells and were never under threat against a team that were supposed to be contenders to take us. Almost an OF type performance in a way - dull as dishwater, but let's have it right, you'll take that every week if the outcome is the same.
