Cagey Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 The goal we lost. An under 16s goalie would have collected that cross on the 6yd line. Draper left on his own in box. I think Craig would have covered his run. Not sure I have seen much to impress me with Muzz in the last month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought Hibs were in a false position as they have had a few jammy results. Have to hand it to Livi - they're on course for another very successful season. Are their players really better than ours? Are Dundee United's? Not from what I've seen - and I think that's the disappointing thing. It used to be us who played above ourselves, who finished above other teams against the odds, who found a way of grinding out results when it mattered. Now more often than not it's the other teams doing those things against us. We need to recover those qualities or we're always going to struggle at this level. rickardo and Coltrane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because we played a solid defensive 4 (and kept clean sheets) Two wingers and 2 strikers. Times change as do formations call me old fashioned but I liked the 4.4.2 It won us the Scottish Cup and got us into Europe.

Dundee Utd have 3 strikers better than any of our own I'd suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly,I am happy with the squad apart from the ones I have mentioned a few times. We have 3 strikers we know can score but not at the moment. We have McCann in midfield but the only other one I would play at the moment is Craig & there lies one of the problems. Spoony on the left & O'Halloran on the right should work. Defensively we have decent player but the centre backs are not commanding their area. Goalkeeper is a problem & Saturday again highlighted it. Clark made 2 saves late on that saved a point but played a major part in a goal that lost us 2 points. Maybe its the system then. One thing is certain we can't rely on 2 shite teams saving us as there doesn't seem to be much between bottom 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be instructions to play the ball over the top to the striker but it doesnt seem to be working & now just looks like the easy option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Pretty depressing assessment: “It is now four losses and five draws in their last nine Premiership matches. They've kept just one clean sheet in that time.” Will anything change vs Dundee United? Shape? Goalkeeper? Striker? I couldn’t stand it if those smug b****** gave us a doing. Hearing the pish coming out of Tannadice from Mellon and Frail it hasn’t taken them long to start talking like world beaters and sleeping giants again. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 We have 38 games to play and so there’s plenty of time to find our form and get a few results. We can’t be certain that the government won’t panic and shut things down again. We are perilously close to where we do not want to be, good squad or not, should there be something similar like the end to last season. Poor management from CD to have us in this position? So many frustrations, as many have already articulated whether by what we have witnessed or by statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they don't they will probably pick up some points when the games are played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the formation I am taking about. I am happy to have any 2 from 3 Kerr Gordon or McCart. You can also change the other positions to suit your favoured players but is 4.4.2 not a feasible option when playing outside the Old Firm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
