Starfelt is taking a lot of abuse, however most defenders in our price bracket would get exposed with the high line and powder puff midfield we have. not a decent challenge made all game.
We will have to accept a jekyll and Hyde season where we look gd in some games and get exposed in others.
It's angeball after all.

They couldn't score we basically scored 2 goals for them! I don't call that getting exposed that's just making life difficult for yourself.

DTP we were all over the place defensively at time with AZ getting in behind our fullbacks. They need better cover from our midfield.

They did have loads of possession and often passed through us and at one point I thought we were going to fold - like Celtic of old.
However, both their goals were gifts and they missed one absolute sitter and although it was a very difficult game, we won it fair and square with more good defending, clearing and blocks - than errors.

Thats a bread and butter clearance nothing to do with the way we play, school boy stuff and it's not the first time, he needs to cut out the errors, we'll see how many make excuses for him if he does it against sevco.

Starfelt is getting abuse for making a james hunt of an easy clearance . I thought the midfield even big rogic gave as good as they got . getting outfouled doesn't mean outfought . if Hart and starfelt hadn't messed up we would have won that game as the goals gave them encouragement and momentum when they needed it .

To me Starfelt needs to work on his awareness. the penalty that he gave away v Hearts he had no idea that Boyce was behind him and tried to take a touch when he didn't have time to take a touch and then last night, nobody from AZ near him. he could and should have just let the ball go by him and Ralston was behind him again with no AZ player in sight.
In fairness to the defence, second half we defended for our lives and Hart made a couple of excellent saves - seen the movie before but we usually end up losing a goal in dying moments.
One thing is for sure, Angeball ain't going to be boring, strap yourself in lads!

Greentree you're missing the point. Being put under pressure away from home in Europe is part and parcel of European football.

Starfelt had a good second half, the own goal was just an outrageous blunder, don't think he should be getting all this criticism because of it, Hart, has always been guilty of blunders all the way through his career, although I think Welsh has to take a lot of the blames as well, he just slowed his run back instead of speeding up.
I think the main problem is this playing out from the penalty box, if the opposition have very speedy forwards, they can put you under intense pressure straight away.

I actually thought our defence held them back they had to go at us, which they did for 90 mins when we do that to teams we score 4.5.6. so chill a bit lads other than the two stupid errors which happen we held them back it was like there cup final for them and they where a great team. Every one of there players gave 100% so we must have done great which we did as when teams come at us we are dodgy so let's not forget they went at us for over 90mins. We gifted them two goal other than that we where cracking the defence earned there money last night. That team came at us we coped. All we are talking about is the bloopers it happens but let's not forget kyogos goal and that pass to him amazing. It was the goal that put us through We all new we had to score a goal over there which we did and we won great result and more confidence and practise for our defenders. Just heard signed scales and he is ready to go on the park.
