Think BR needs to review how we play domestically. I would prefer 2 strikers but I understand 1 up front allows suits our style of play better.
However, when we line up with 5 in midfield, our problem is Brown and Ntcham sit far too deep and play along the same line. This allows our opposition the chance to sit off and mark Rogic and stop him getting the ball and creating chances. We only got success against St Johnstone when we put Armstrong and Rogic ahead of Brown in the second half.
We should also invest in a RB so we can create a more attacking threat down that side, working similar to KT. Ideal case, Paddy playing RW (who loves to cut inside) with a RB overl-aping and making the runs that KT does.

I think we've got much bigger needs than right back.

Abut of success and everyone's wants to rip into the team, board and manager! Come on tae f$ck!
Some of the posts going round are dripping for the sake of it. Everyone's a manager and tatical expert these days, and have an intimate knowledge of players contracts and budgets.

Think he knows how to win games up here well enough to be honest. Let's not get too carried away with a draw at home. Yes I think we need investment to push us on further but we have just come through a tough qualifying set of matches with a weakened squad and a lot of travelling and pressure. Personally I think we are playing the best attacking and enjoyable football I have seen at parkhead for a number of years . We had numerous chances to win the game on Saturday .
All I really want now is two or three more quality additions for the European push.

We haven't had two fit strikers for over a season, most weeks; so it's very unlikely we would have that luxury unless we bring another in - as the window closes?
However, I think the arrival of Roberts will add a lot more to the speed and variety of attacks, plus the front players are starting to find the form and consistency of performance that stood us in such good stead last term.
The biggest headache we have - in my opinion - is centre defence and goalkeeper when we face half decent teams.

The day you stop reveuwing us the day we start to slide backwards. We have done that's many times. You need to be constantly reviewing and looking at ways to improve.
We all know that we have weaknesses. Pretending we don't is nonsense and if not dealt with will cost us.

Hahahahe 😆😆, 😆😆😅😆 omg your serious , unbeaten domestically for over a YEAR and your telling the. manager to review how we play, away and have a lie down in a dark room , ed how do you put up with some of these posters.

One of the reasons we dominate the possession so much is because the 5 in midfield. We scored goals from all over the park last season.
Why would we change That?

When paddy signs it will bring the whole forward line a boost, at the minute the opposition will double up on Sinclair as Forrest is inconsistent and Hayes hasn't had the impact he'd hope for. Once paddy comes in there is a genuine goal threat from both sides and opportunities created from both sides. That's not to take away from Forrest as he scored important goals in the qualifiers for us ( and not for the first time)

Firstly, nowhere in my post did I criticise BR. As a matter of fact, I think he is the best thing to happen to the club in a long time. He hasn’t put a foot wrong since coming here last May. I totally agree that BR knows best.
Yes, we are unbeaten domestically. But if we want to maintain that run, then it’s quite obvious that we need to tweak / change up our game-plan. Teams are obviously working out our strengths and studying how to stop us. So yes a review now and again is beneficial for the team. Anyone who thinks otherwise is daft. BR constantly reviews how we play and looks for improvement so why wouldn’t we as a support have an opinion on that.
Possession football is brilliant but we lack penetration middle to front sometimes. I just think at CP we should push two attacking midfielders ahead of Brown, as sometimes Brown and Ntcham are doing the same job and it looks very pedestrian knocking the ball side to side or back to defence.
