The reason we had their full song sheet is our team allowed it to be a mega party day for them.Lets face it that will probably be Celtic's easiest 3 points away all season.Its even more annoying that they came to Tannadice off the back of a very physically enduring energy sapping game v Hearts on the Thursday night where they lost 3 players to injury including Jota and none of them recovered for Sunday.
The opportunity was there to take the game to them and shut up their support like we managed to do v The Rangers after they had played in europe also on the Thursday but we surrendered before the huddle was over.
Dunno we played excellent v Rangers with Harkes Butcher Fuchs, where was that up and at them v Celtic, form and confidence play a part too, and giving them minks the shed don't help but that's another story
Very good vs Hibs with Glass, Harkes and Fuchs, but that same trio not so good v Hearts
We have played well with Levitt in there though granted, we miss him for sure, he was good vs Celtic away, again where was that kind of performance, we played scared on Sunday, very annoying
They didn't really bully us during our winning run
We are going through a poor spell and still 8 teams sit behind us, so they all must have similar flaws or plenty flaws on their own, that's what you get in a tight league where everyone can beat everyone as there isn't much in it quality wise, injures and suspension (yes the avoidable one from Butcher) haven't helped, even sunday missing McMann who is physical
Can you imagine if we were told on August 1st, Utd will go through a poor spell in Dec and still sit 4th, and we'd be moaning and downbeat about it
It's comical really isn't it lol
They shouldn't get the shed, simple as that, should get the same allocation that sheep and fun get, same goes for Sevco, 3600 across the side of the pitch, out the way of the TV cameras
This gives them an edge the ugly sisters, the noise etc that they make, also doesn't help that Utd fans give it a miss, however we had enough fans there to get behind us if they had shown Sevco type performance instead of surrendering in very weak fashion
I wasn't suggesting we should sign Gogic. I was using him as an example of the TYPE of player that Butchers not.
Combative but disciplined and much better ball retention and distribution than Butcher plus can move play forward better. He was streets ahead of Butcher when playing in previous Hibs sides.
You're a bit easily triggered
That last line is a bit pathetic really stoke, wasn't one bit triggered
If that is your example of what we need instead, ie Gogic then not the best suggestion though, how often did you see him for Hibs? Hardly disciplined and on top of that pretty poor nearly every time I saw him for them, if you think he is an example of better than Butcher on the ball etc, we'll agree to disagree, would be a downgrade
Butcher once back from suspension can be important for us, as we have missed him (through injury and his own stupidity vs Aberdeen) since the injuries and stuff have mounted up he would have been a good option in Dingwall and Fir Park, even then Fuchs was off the boil before his injury, cost us the goal vs St Johnstone (after a needless pass into him by Levitt I may add).. We need form to come back from a few individuals
But you are triggered.
One of your poster boys has let the club down twice and you're defending him and trying to make him sound like Baresi.
I grew out of having favourites at 14. I want a team that blends together as a cohesive unit. I want a team that can keep possession and move the ball through midfield.
Butcher was injured, although there were rumours if I recall, ok so he came back from injury, got sent off which could have cost us 3 valuable points, serves his ban which involved missing Dingwall when we could have done with him, then back in the side makes a reckless challenge that's going to see him miss more games.
And you're on here defending him?
