Grim reading in an attacking sense.
Really poor return from our midfield in terms of goals and assists.
Although for 105million and 250k/week we could have 5 goals and 6 assists from Declan Rice instead....or for 12million and 100k/week two assists from Jorghino!!! Keep it real and perhaps understand Lundstrum's role in our team! He is there to protect the back four, break up play, dominate the ball in between boxes and allow Tavenier to career forward. It's everyone in front of him that is the issue on creativity.30k a week from Lundstrum who has zero goals and 4 assists criminal
Declan Rice to John Lundstram I’ve seen it all now just forget the fact the EPL is 20x the standardAlthough for 105million and 250k/week we could have 5 goals and 6 assists from Declan Rice instead....or for 12million and 100k/week two assists from Jorghino!!! Keep it real and perhaps understand Lundstrum's role in our team! He is there to protect the back four, break up play, dominate the ball in between boxes and allow Tavenier to career forward.

McCoist contributed a lot more than goals, but Boyd never. Remember him being described as like having a goal start but being a man down. There was a reason Walter rarely picked him in Europe or Old Firm gamesI don't mind players missing out happens but he's missings big chances that cost us
Even boyd/mccoist etc all contributed other than goals.
Dessers had a little run but had slipped backwards again
Cifuentes and Lammers not included, Ryan Jack scored away at Dundee.

One thing that struck me most was 15 separate league games where we have conceded a goal, almost half the fixtures from being so strong for so long.
Balogun, Jack, Roofe, Danilo and Silva have all featured in approx a dozen league games and that seems more than I initially thought.
Anything else stand out that you didn't think/realise until seeing the numbers above?
Info taken from flashscore, stats, positions etc (if mispositioned, not me that did it)
Cifuentes and Lammers not included, Ryan Jack scored away at Dundee.
The outfield players who were bad on Sunday have played the most games by miles.. run into the ground ?

Far too many not chipping in with goals. Central defenders not got enough. Borna and Yilmaz not enough goals or assists Lundstrum not any goals. Lawrence not enough. Cantwell should be on more. Silva not enough. McAusland not enough. Wright not any.

Dessers - Played 29, Started 22, Goals 13 Assists 3. Decent return apparently.
Morelos at his worst - Played 32 Started 15, Goals 11 Assists 6. Get rid, disgrace, shocking stats, etc, etc.
This place is funny.
A centre mid who plays every game with 70% possession with no goals and only 4 assists is staggering
30k a week from Lundstrum who has zero goals and 4 assists criminal
Not nearly enough going by the return he's giving us.How many games has Dessers missed because he was either suspended or too fat to play?
He launches em at least twice a game from distance trying to improve that number. If he hits one and Goldson hits a header in the same game, I fear the world will end.30k a week from Lundstrum who has zero goals and 4 assists criminal
He is at right back maybe stick him in midfieldApparently he's the problem
I’m sure we said (about five years ago) that, whilst great from tav, is a major issue and one that has to change.Our top goal scorer is a defender who has nearly 1.5 times the 2nd top scorer.
1 goal between all our centre halves proves how bad we are at attacking corners.2 goals from defence (Souttar & Yilmaz) other than Tav is fücking pathetic.
Connor Goldson in particular, hang your head in shame.
Sums up how bad we are at attacking set pieces.
Does the threshold not go up from 6 yellows at this stage in the season? Sure I read somewhere that he isnt even close to a ban.Cantwell is a yellow away from a 1 game suspension
I'm sure if he gets booked against Dundee for example he serves the suspension the game following 14 days from the booking. Could miss the piggery?
I would say our goalkeeper was more at fault than Tav he has made mistakes in both games but he apparently gets a free passNo it isn't, but it is his fault how many goals we are losing in behind him now teams have worked out how to expose him at the key point of the season. What would you say, 3 of the last 6 conceded came from in behind Tav? This is our dilemma. Is his primary job to score and provide, or to shut out the opposition and defend? The old adage is that leagues are won by the best defence. the next 6 games will tell. Maybe since Wright neither scores nor assists as he should, big Phil should think about making it his responsibility to cover our rampaging Captain's defensive frailties!!
No idea mate maybe someone else can confirmDoes the threshold not go up from 6 yellows at this stage in the season? Sure I read somewhere that he isnt even close to a ban.
I believe it goes from 6 yellows over 19 games = a 1 game suspension to 12 over the season equalling 2 games. Taken from here:No idea mate maybe someone else can confirm
Heard it mentioned that John Lennon would be 83 now if it was Dessers who took a shot at him.Grim reading in an attacking sense.
It's the fact he's missed very few because we don't have better options that's sickening. Particularly when Beale was allowed to spend £10m+ 'upgrading' the forwards.How many games has Dessers missed because he was either suspended or too fat to play?
Thats what I thought as well mate.I believe it goes from 6 yellows over 19 games = a 1 game suspension to 12 over the season equalling 2 games. Taken from here:
He is not the problem but we will never win consistently when our right back is our top scorer. The midfield and forwards have been shocking apart from Sima.Apparently he's the problem
I agree with you but that's the forwards and midfielders faultHe is not the problem but we will never win consistently when our right back is our top scorer. The midfield and forwards have been shocking apart from Sima.
