Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Robin.Hood said: Adam has passed it lol. Only thing been said spot on is he does like a yellow card every game. I'm sure the point in Adam was we build around him. Obviously when you have an idiot in charge this hasn't happened and why our midfield has been a shambles just like the rest of the team for the majority of the season. Correct. McPake is the problem. Not Charlie Adam. Edited April 3, 2021 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play Mullen over Cummings.... if we expected goals today we all know this was never going to the case. No surprise regarding the lack of shots on target I can't remember us creating too many chances that Cummings would have been able to take advantage of tbf. Mullen didn't disgrace himself today. ETA: Although, you're spot on. The tactics McPake deployed throughout the game were bizarre and counter productive.

He isn't there for his running or defensive duties, he is there to create and organise on the pitch. How many times does he give the ball away though. For every decent bit of play he has give the it away 5 or 6 times previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even risk him and bring him on for last little bit ? Especially if we managed to nick a goal ( yeah okay we probably had no chance of this ) and this went onto extra time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipei Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’d recommend watching Adam when he has the ball, he completes less than a third of his passes I’d guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not been dropped ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every little turn he decides to do or every misplaced pass we are either in trouble or concede a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but at least they can run about when it’s not going well, Adam can’t do that. We play with 10 men when the other team has the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a Mcpake masterclass with his tactics again today by playing Mullen uptop on his own as we get 1 shot on target all game ... and that wasn't from anyone else bar a missed penalty.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 You can’t play 442 with Adam in the team. Cummings was dropped to allow Byrne to play so Adam could be accommodated. Playing 1 up front means Mullen. The starting formation makes perfect sense when you try to build a team around Charlie Adam. I get he’s lost his mother and had COVID - he has all my sympathies but if he’s not mentally or physically fit he shouldn’t be playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewing Taffies Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Today was another example of poor management. A good manager and we win this game and would still be pushing Hearts close. Get McPake to f**k. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play with 10 men when the other team has the ball. Sorry, not having it. Yes, he doesn't track back very well, but in general his positional intelligence means he doesn't have to sprint to get to areas because he is already there. Otherwise games would just pass him by, but they don't, he is always at the centre of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but you just have to look at the results since January of the games where he’s been in the team vs when he hasn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
