SaintJet Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Big game for both teams who obviously want to put down a marker for the cup final. Livi are on a great run and what I've seen of them they are back to that overpowering pressing game, with Bartley and Holt pulling strings in midfield. Big strong defense with the Pony tailed Brown marshalling them at the back. They are a good side and play some nice neat stuff with dangerous strikers. We will have our hands full. We will win this.

Brown has been recalled by his parent club and Bartley has been on the bench recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise Brown was away he was always a fixture with LIvi. Bartley is the Captain so he'll be playing. The weather forecast looks awful and that "all weather" pitch has had a few games cancelled recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they play “some nice neat stuff”? I’d definitely say their style/game plan is effective. Easy on the eye? Not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALLS ANGEL Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 What I have noticed they are very fit and play with a lot of energy. When they are in attack they get plenty players in the opposing teams box. In midfield they seem to outnumber the opposition, same in defence. In short they look as if they are playing with two extra players. I don’t think that they have any real star players, competent yes but no individual to be frightened of. I wonder if teams think that they should beat them and don’t give them enough respect, so play into their hands. I will leave it up to Callum to decide what tactics to use in both games.

Melbourne Saint Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Haven't watched any Livi games, but by results, seem a tough defence to crack. What's more interesting is how both teams line up. Expect some tactical subs (barring injuries) around the 60 minute mark to try a few different options.

Abernethy Saint Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’m afraid were going to lose this one narrowly. Which will make our unexpectedly easy win in the final (2-0) all the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to end their unbeaten run but win on Saturday and we lose a bit of that underdog status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE LARK SAINT Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I would expect to see Gilmour making his debut in place of Muzz and probably Middleton as well Can see CD playing his cards close to his chest not to give to much away leading up to Final I think we might see something like Clark Gordon Kerr McCart Brown McCann Gilmour Tanser Middleton May Conway He may go with Kane and Melamed up front but I have a suspicion that those two plus Wotherspoon Rooney and perhaps even Tanser by bringing in Booth will be wrapped in cotton wool for the Final .Bryson and Craig will be used sparingly in case we need cover as well so can't see Bryson starting this one either Could be mince though. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same team that started at Ibrox minus Muzz. I don't go in for all this cloak and dagger stuff. If CD can put a team that he thinks is his best out and will win even if it's the same team he is thinking about for the cup final he'll do it. I think people need to start thinking about our league poition too, we're a long way from safety and need to start putting points on the board. Anyone got the word on Muzz by the way?

Lost interest after the word Livingston. They had a meal in the Aberdeen Tony Macaroni before the match claiming they had permission - where have we heard that excuse before? Mind you back in the day I used to enjoy TM food which automatically means it's classified as not good for you by the diet experts. Didn't seem to do Livi any harm, possibly being fed TM food is part of the players' pay deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 If we play the same way we did the last 20 mins at Ibrox & at Killie with the front 3 of Spoony ,Kane & Melamed we can win this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
