I’ve got no idea what McCart thought he was doing there. You see him signal for the pass to go to Booth, who seems to be in acres of space on the left, and then turns just as Clark decides a 5 yard pass to McCart with a striker going full pelt is better than a 15 yard pass to Booth who's in space. Felt a real lack of technical ability throughout the squad today. Every taking shite touches etc., 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamora Fan Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I thought the same as Random. The pass to make was clearly to Booth, McCart wasn’t expecting it or even looking the right way. Also was McCart not in the box when Clark played it to him? Weird decision but Clark has probably earned a howler or two 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He compounds it by playing it behind McCart too.Maybe he’s trying to play it behind him so he can run onto it? And McCart panics, sticks a foot out and trips over so it goes in? First time to Booth not that easy a ball looking at that.Obvs a mistake but I’m maybe starting to lean toward thinking it’s a misunderstanding more than anything else. And one caused by the (very good throughout) Livi press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply talking about Clark as people seemed to be trying to lay it all on McCart. I'll be controversial and say the whole incident is avoided if Craig has the ability to use his right foot... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Clark is more to blame than McCart for me, but only just. It’s a poor pass to give him and he shouldn’t of put him in that position, but McCart should still deal with it. I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to say Liam Gordon makes McCart look better. He seems lost without him and I think it’s clear to see him and Ambrose can’t next to each other. Today also showed why O’Halloran is not a viable option at wingback, his positioning is awful. I won’t blame him for not taking on the fullback today as he clearly took a knock and wasn’t fit for 60 minutes of that match. Also agree with the comments regarding Craig, I think his days of starting games have gone, there’s a panic to his play this year that hasn’t been there previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think O’Halloran looked good at wingback while Rooney was on the pitch for obvious reasons: Rooney supported him and took some of the Livi attention by over and underlapping. Lars was solid enough at the back but wasn’t really keen to go forward at all - thinking about it maybe Muller might have been a better option.But yeah after Rooney went off it was basically O’Halloran against two Livi players on the right the whole game, not surprised he couldn’t make much of an impact. We need the centre backs to be brave and offer support otherwise the system doesn’t really work. Off the top of my head can recall at least one occasion MOH went at his man, beat them but then still didn’t get a cross in because there was another yellow shirt to beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrutinizer Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 It's obvious Martindale has taken MY advice to get players up the park with every attack, the first 10 minutes of the game is the way to play, quick movement,passing,and decision making The team as a whole looked more up for it, looked sharper, tracked better, less individual mistakes. 4-2-3-1 Stryjek 7/10 No bloopers ,great save from Kane. Devlin 7/10 Better in first half Fizzywater 6/10 Done ok, quiet in an effective way Obileye 7/10 More alert today,and a flash of ball skill in first half Penrice 3/10 Invisible for long spells Holt 6/10 Steady,played a more defensive roll Omeonga 7/10 Good turn of pace,gets the team up the park quick,needs better control when on the ball, gets bit panicky Bailey 7/10 Good ball control and pace,tends to disappear for spells Pittman 6/10 Eager,and lively,good bursting runs from deep,ball control still lets him down Montaño 5/10 Good in patches,doesnt do enough overall Anderson 7/10 Plays better when the team attack in numbers Longridge 5/10 Quiet Mc Millan 4/10 Didn't do much Sibbald / On to late to judge Forrest 6/10 Lively good pressing and shot near end -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 You really are a not a representation of our club.Take your appraisals to wherever.Livi thoughrally deserved that,and you or whoever cant deny that.Its taken you nearly 5 hours to compile your drivel as usual.Hard core Livi fans dismiss your arrogant rantings as they should.Typical keyboard warrior looking for a response Congratulations you got mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyellowbox Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think while we were poor and full.of mistakes, fair play to Livi as they played well and capitalised on the mistakes we made. Killed the game when it needed it from their point of view and seemed the right subs to make at the right time. I actually thought Livi might have got a penalty in the 2nd half as looked like McCart hand balled, but somehow won a free kick! For Saints, unfortunately all the errors and concerns we could see coming all came in the same game. Central defence combination didn't work. Efe did what Efe is known for, strikers cannot score and Clark had a game like he was having a few years back. I'm not sure anyone gets a pass mark. Let's hope it gets it out of the system and the players can pick themselves up. Hopefully Rooney's injury isn't too bad. Seemed to be more players than normal stepping on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were handed the game by horrible errors. I love it when we don't even need to show up to stroll to a 3-0 win. Some team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
