bigjerseybuddie Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I really hate to say this but now that I’ve calmed down I will. I think that Goodwin believes himself to be some sort of tactical genius and beyond reproach. He has an irritating habit of answering a question by saying “ listen” then going on about how he sees the game which seems far removed from the reality. Of course he is a club legend for captaining us to cup glory but he needs to look in the mirror. He comes across as arrogant which would be fine if we were winning regularly but we aren’t.

lenziebud Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I personally don't think we would have won a final against St J anyway. I think they have been the better team against us each time this season including the 3-2 game until Kerr got himself sent off. The two 1-0 defeats flattered us. They turned Hibs over 3-0 yesterday in a performance we could never match. They also have a manager who is streets ahead of ours and will go a lot further in the managerial game.

La Roche Derriere Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 In our last eight games we have only scored three goals against eleven men. Two penalties and a goalkeeping howler. This is an astonishing statistic. I think the sending offs in the St J and RC games have hidden how bad we have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Goodwin needs a kick up the bum from higher up to get out of this negative style of play, also the players too, as glaring obvious today that even passing to someone with the same colour top seemed to be beyond them.

What they do is make sure they are on players and force mistakes, plenty time when there was a throw in to them we had players marking fresh air or our throw ins we had1 or 2 players looking for ball but with 3 or 4 livi players close by. What they do is have 3 steady players in their team being bartley, ambrose and guthrie nothing fancy or flash just steady influences to rest of squad. They play to their strengths, we don't seem to have that but play a stifling 4-5-1 that doesn't suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He for me is showing his limitations. He'll do the media stuff saying he is still learning and makes mistakes but there is an element of bull to it. He has been well backed by the club so no real excuses overall. Livi are very average side who i think StJ will turn over in the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Goodwin is very good at it but eventually it will catch up with him. Interesting to see how we perform in the league over next few weeks. If its a poor run of performances, guarantee we get the struggling with semi defeat routine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 There were a number of really disappointing aspects of today's performance. 1. The tactics were wrong from the start, i.e. the team put on the park was wrong 2. The team gave away cheap fouls which played into the strengths of Livingston. They pumped balls into the box and looked for the chaos. 3. It took the management team far too long to see that their selection wasn't working. 4. There were players on the park especially in the first half, who shouldn't have been near the Hampden turf. 5. If you compare that team with the team that played Celtic in 2013, there was no comparison. We deserved to lose to Livi if you especially look at the first half. Fractionally better in the 2nd half, but no cutting edge and long balls all day long, which suited their tall defenders. If the players believed that perhaps this was their one chance to appear and win a final at Hampden, then they didn't show it. Really, really disappointed 😞 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as arrogant which would be fine if we were winning regularly but we aren’t.The worrying thing is he actually thinks we have a style of play, we are reasonable at the back but apart from that we are clueless. This is validated by being the lowest scorers in the league. Our most experienced midfielders cannot get a look in, which is even more worrying when watching the guys playing there.And if he thinks Mason put everything in to his performance today then....?

You've taken a lot of stick for this comment but I have to say I'm not entirely sure why. I am sick of hearing about this guy's criminal past and how he turned his life around with absolutely ZERO mention of the victims of his crimes. I would have had some respect for him if he had publicly acknowledged that himself every time the "rags to riches" pish was raised. It's not an inspiring story at all. It's f**king galling to see the public fetishising these types of people but strangely silent on the victims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I dont usually listen or read Goodwin's post match reaction but decided to check it out what I'm really shocked about is Goodwin's best mate Thommo agreeing with him embarrassing from him too he should hang his head in shame. That is absolute cringe. Also there was nothing “agonising” about the defeat. We were gubbed from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Very disappointing result. Thankfully, I never seen the Match , Going by reports on here , Obika doing a bit of cheating diving. If true, he should be offloaded in the January Window.

shull Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Well done the young buddies who decorated Paisley with the Saints Flags.
