Our central midfield gets hung out to dry every game with these tactics, always overrun no matter which 3 are picked.

Yet the advantage of playing three at the back is that the midfield should have the extra man, preventing that from happening.

What is the point of appointing these professionals anyalysts when they couldn’t even identify that Hibs were going to launch it through to Boyle all game.

 

Exactly. Hibs aren't exactly playing complex mesmerising Cruyff-esque football tactics.

[scottymc]

Barron for Shinnie for me. Appreciate he’s the club captain but it’s time for shinnie to stand aside. 4 at the back and Barron in there and that would sort of it for me short term 

[DelMonte]

Why are we continuing with this formation? It suits just about no players in the side. 

[minijc]

Shinnie leading the press again, just fucking bin Robson, he learns fuck all from his previous mistakes and keeps trying to force something that clearly doesn't work.

Our defence is a disgrace

It really is. You could drop every one of them apart from Devlin(maybe) without any argument.

co commentator is spot on

Put 4 at the back Robson you fucking spastic.

Even if it means subbing off Sokler and going 4-2-3-1, I  agree.

It's insane that long balls through the middle and over the top are killing us with 3 CB. Terrible stuff.

This.  We're a man short elsewhere on the park precisely to stop that goal.

[Russell]

Shinnie can't do the job that he's being asked to do which is on Robson. If you want someone bursting from midfield and getting in good areas around the box play fucking Barron

[fine-n-dandy]

Amazing how basic we look. We find it so easy to continuously look inferior v pretty much every team.

We are a shite team. Shockingly bad defensively especially 

[DelMonte]

We are so weak. We were playing okay before the goal. Now surrendering.

[Ke1t]

Only a matter of time before we go two down. 

Whatever the 'plan' is it isn't working. 

We look like we're playing against Barcefuckinglona.

Rubezic needs to wise up. They're firing everything up the centre, and now he's flying into tackles. He's confusing running around and fouling to no effect with working hard.

Have said l think it’s time MacDonald gets an extended run rather than Rubezic. 

[redstrummer]

we have been bloody awful since they scored . Robson needs to change it now

[Reed or deed]

Unlucky mcgrath

[Terrorfex]

That sequence (from 30:00 to 30:30) was absolutely dire. Four red shirts following the ball around in front of the six-yard box, purely reactionary, moving as one homogenous blob. Players diving into last-ditch tackles as the ball falls time and time again to a Hibs player to have a go ...

Awful.

FIFY 

[Ten Caat]

Decent save from Marshall, thought we were equalising there

[redstrummer]

McGrath has to score there

[DelMonte]

Hibs are absolutely shite too. Embarrassing.

[sooth_stander]

How much is Shinnie’s lucrative contract? £7k or so a week?

[Proud Dandy]

But, but Ruby’s stats are so good. Useless prick. Anyone that rates him knows fuck all about football. 

[Parklife]

Has clarkson passed the ball forward today?

Because it worked for 7 games last season. 
 

Since then it hasn't. 
 

Obvious to everyone who watches us, bar the most important person.

Around that aye and the 6figure fee we paid but here's the thing, we'd get better use out of him if he wasn't the further forward midfielder, let him play the holding role ffs.

Yes. Played a lovely pass to McGarry 20 mins or so ago. 
 

 

[TopDon]

Macdonald is a first team pick for me.

[scottymc]

Shinnie has been honking today. Just too slow in the middle.

Until the opposing team actually attack, like Boyle from the first minute, at which point we immediately change it to a five and give away the midfield.
