“Worked us out. Embarrassing that it we couldn’t/wouldn’t adapt.”
“I’ve seen teams do it before. It’s the way I would like to go at them, force them up the park and press everywhere. Can’t believe we let their defence off the hook.”
“Took the sting out of a Rangers blitz on anyone in green who had the ball. Probably had a few thinking WTF? Either way, as much as it is a good idea, we should still have been able to initiate our own game plan. They have the ball, get after it, when we get it back, attack attack attack! A good move by them though.”
“They know they’re vulnerable, at least for now. They have to have their attackers press high and hope the opposition make mistakes. They need to protect their defenders. They did it on Sunday.”
“Tactics won the game my friend.”
“They knew we steamrollered them at the beginning of the last two matches at Ibrox so this was to counter that. They definitely wanted a scrappy game on top of closing us down quickly, to build the frustration, they had players lying around like deid cats constantly. Our gaffer gave them too much respect before a ball was kicked so all the above worked well for them.”
“I hate to say it but it was a shrewd move.”
“Hate to say it but it worked a treat: pegged us back right away and our 5 disorientate centre mids couldn’t get a hold of the ball at all. Instantly disrupted us.”
