hogesar 9,615 Posted September 21, 2021 Hes had the right effect on young players to date. That includes outing Cantwell and Emi resulting in them having fantastic seasons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Dutchman 744 Posted September 21, 2021 Wait. When Pep does it, it's to fire the players up (and it works). But when Farke does it, it's losing the plot? That's it, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted September 21, 2021 Perfectly reasonable thing to say, Farke has a good record of working with young people, the desperation to find fault is becoming a bit overpowering, lots of things need sorting but let’s keep things in perspective.

AJ 1,218 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Tzolis was one of the few bright sparks tonight and aside of missing his penalty I can't really say I felt he did much wrong. Didn't get the ball enough, but that's not his fault, just all the pointless sideways and backwards passing meant by the the the ball was played forwards they were always crowded out Edited September 21, 2021 by AJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't get the ball enough, but that's not his fault, just all the pointless sideways and backwards passing meant by the the the ball was played forwards they were always crowded out He's a young lad so he gets a bit of a pass, but he was involved in a few wasted final balls & crosses in the first half. Particularly the overhit cross which would have got us back on to level terms. He tried hard & didn't shy away but lacked that clinical edge exemplified by the Tsimikas cross for the killer Origi goal. His shot did lead to the penalty of course. I called it to my son when I saw him standing over the ball - "bad idea" I think I said. I remember thinking a few times during the match that "he'd look better in a better team" about a few of our players but I don't think Tzolis is the player at the moment we should be looking to to make the difference in a side looking increasingly bereft of confidence.

Clint 221 Posted September 21, 2021 Idah was the designated penalty taker and should’ve taken it. But I understand why a guy who gets 2 mins of game time here and there would’ve given in to the new multi-million pound Greek wonderkid. Isn’t the problem here the complete lack of discipline and leadership? Firstly, Tzolis went against the managers wishes but it only appeared to be him vs Idah to take it, with a bit of an interjection from our young inexperienced loan player. It’s hardly Gilmour’s job to sort these things out, is it? Not for the first or last time tonight, our captain was AWOL. Surely it’s his job to sort these sorts of issues out? And if not, the senior players? Can you imagine Roy Keane letting some young upstart go against the managers wishes? Can you imagine anyone wanting to defy Fergie? We have no discipline and no leaders, from the top down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
