He tried to play a one two and it didn't come off so got hung up to dry by the manager? Yeah as far as I can tell that's the incident. Tbf he had another incident where he overplayed where a fairly simple ball would've had Rooney clean through. I'd guess Davidson has had frustration building for a while and it came out after the game. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Make of it what you will, but I know of atleast a couple players that supposedly aren't the biggest fans of Eetu. Maybe a personality issue as much as what happens on the field. I still think he can offer something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt actually think that it was the right space for Eetu to run into before the flick, it was the difficult route. Ball should have been played to him earlier, the simpler pass then he could have passed out to the right. Wasnt Eetu's fault for the goal though. I can see that they should have kept it simple and not taken risks and tried to get in at 0-0. The goal was coming though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk like that isn't welcome around these here parts. Callum's obviously pissed off with Eetu trying to play a bit of football in the clip. He'll be angry Kane wasn't there trying to hold the ball up, waiting for contact and 'winning' a foul to relieve the pressure. He'll probably now use it as a coaching aid to highlight what happens when you try to be the slightest bit adventurous confirming his policy of safety first, second, third, fourth and fifth is the only way.

RandomGuy Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Most of the players in this squad should be concentrating on themselves. Half of them are shite and the other half seemed to have chucked it. Rooney himself was guilty of multiple mistakes yesterday just down to laziness, then tries to hide behind shouting and bawling at everyone else. sixties saintee and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 United reserves/youths gave Rangers a run for their money. Hearts should probably have beaten them & it was down to Rangers not being at their best. They beat Saints & its the best they have played all season. Most teams seem to have their best game of the season against us. So as well as being unlucky with injuries & decisions we have that as well.

There's not many 'I's as in eg 'I've liked what I've seen of him and I was keen to get him on board' When I is used it's more of a generalism. It's mostly we. It's a positive piece to announce a big signing, by our standards anyway, and easy to accept at face value. I wouldn't expect anything else in the circumstances. People could actually spend all day selectively using bits from it to back up both sides of the argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Greg Stewart would've cost twice is as much, is over 30, and doesn't fit the managers preferred system, so I can fully believe Davidson was desperate to sign him. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wages in India are higher than anyone at our club too, maybe he simply preferred that move? The manager maybe preferred Stewart to Vertainen, who was signed to play on the left of our attack, but not getting Stewart + getting Vertainen doesn't = Davidson being overruled in transfer business. I can tell you for a fact that no transfer business has happened at the club without him agreeing to it, in or out. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
