Having just returned from 'vacation'. I was astonished to read Celticforevers post re the playing squad. Seriously mate? You don't think we would horse sevco. right now?
I missed the game yesterday,France is a nightmare by the way,but watched the Euro match.I felt while we never sparkled we were disciplined and kept at it,something we have been short in at times in Europe. Make no mistake they were a very decent team. I thought they were incredibly well drilled.Every time a man moved to cover they had a player at his back replacing him.Very impressive I thought.
Having said that I did feel that what we saw was what they have.I don't think they will alter their game that much,the conditions and travelling will mean they don't have to. Set pieces as Ronny says will be vital.We do need to start having a crack against teams who pack their box.Through a mass of legs who knows what kinda deflection it will take?
@celticforever. Really mate? Your decimation of some players is astonishing. Brown? A player who has,on his own,dragged us back into games when we have looked a bit lethargic. I have always said everyone has,and is entitled to,an opinion.But I feel you are a bit too critical in my opinion.
Regarding your assessment of Armstrong and GMS,again very harsh I feel. I do agree that Armstrong would maybe be more effective in the central midfield but he does a job for me.GMS,he's a winger mate,they blow a bit hot and cold.What he has done is contribute more in his short spell here than Forrest has in years. One more thing.They never hide.Watch how many times GMS tracks back and covers,Armstrong as well never stops running.
Cifti? How about giving him some time mate? More about the hold up play than the goals for me.Lastly, we are still a work in progress.Stop reading the paper and listening to desperate sevconian reporters. Ronny has been here one year! If only we had the foresight to appoint Warburton
who I hear has sevco playing a brand of football never before seen on this planet. well if you listen to the MSM in Scotland you would.
