LIVIFOREVER Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 As bad as Utd are just now, we don't set ourselves up to go out and take advantage of their frailties in defence, we flood the midfield to nullify a goal threat and shitfest our way to slender wins. Thought at the time when we beat them 1-0 they looked shaky at the back and we could've pressed them more to score a few goals, and everyone they've played since has scored at least 3 past them. Don't see this being much different from our last game against them though, and think there'll only be 1 goal in it. Saying all that, Martindale said he was going to change things for the Aberdeen game on Saturday, so we'll see if he's going to be more attacking in that game and carry it into this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Well we changed fuckall against Aberdeen, but this game is a chance to do something different. Any chance Martindale could start Mullin with Nouble up front, or in behind him with Pittman, just to see how it works out and maybe take it into league games if it goes well. Nouble is needing a goal scorer playing off him and Pitts & Shinnie isn't doing it. Would be even better if Anderson makes it and a front 3 of Mullin-Nouble-Anderson, not going to put my house on it happening though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Calder Lion Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Even against at team that has just shipped 9 goals at home, I can't see us scoring. Knocked out on penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lack of change in shape was forced with Anderson being injured and Moyo being suspended. I think we'd have gone with the 4-3-3 with Anderson in between Nouble and Moyo. Would love to see Nouble move back to the wing, as good as he has been in a central role, he's not clinical enough which will cost us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would've thought he'd play Mullin though, for me Mullin is more ready to go than Bahamboula, and was in decent form in the friendly and first cup game, then he's been dropped out the team. Seems strange we're not playing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menga Bus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Pretty sure fitzwater is suspended for this due to bookings in the group stage. We saw the absolute calamitous defending we were left with without him in the 2nd half against aberdeen. No leadership, no shape, and no adequate replacement. Will come down to whatever teams defence makes the least mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Both teams coming off the back of a pumping, either going to have both trying to right some wrongs and a superb game; or a cagey game with neither team trying to concede. I'll go for the latter and a United win on penalties. I'm not too fussed how this one goes really, nice to get a cup run but would prefer one in the Scottish Cup or better league performances over the League Cup. Avoid injuries and an embarrassing scoreline and I'll be happy enough. If Anderson was fit I'd like to see something like: George Devlin - Obileye - Cancar - Montano Omeonga - Holt - Pittman Nouble - Anderson - Bahamboula* Assuming he isn't then probably: George Devlin - Obileye - Cancar - Montano Omeonga - Holt - Kelly Bahamboula* - Pittman Nouble *could probably switch Mullin/Bahamboula in either case. Be surprised if this happens now that Mullin's off to Ayr. Edited August 31, 2022 by LiviLion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 The amount of goals Utd have conceded since playing us we should be going for it here, with 3 attacking players in a 4-3-3, but Martindale is loathed to making changes from a system that got us 2 wins, even though we've lost our last 2 games playing the same system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might need some cocaine off you to make it more enjoyable too. Dosent sound too bad supporting Livi tbf. 3-0 Livingston. Jack Ross to be jettisoned outside Perth somewhere on the way home and Charlie Mulgrew to get the managers job with Baby Asghar as assistant.

ATLIS Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 This is absolutely set up to be Livingston 0-1 Dundee Utd. Although, Ross got sacked after losing to us with Hibs So you never know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Always fear the change of management bounce a team tends to have but then I realised Fox is taking charge. Really nice guy but hells teeth.... Anyway here's hoping that Watt doesn't continue his habit of scoring against Livi Last game excepted) Actually both teams are off heavy defeats; and this is a free shot - anything could happen. Hopefully the referee isnt Willie Collum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the referee isnt Willie Collum Willie Baird * David Munro tonight, Willie Collum on Sat against Hearts. Fourth Official Nick Walsh *Sorry didn't read that properly and see Baird is the ref against Morton in our U15's & U12's games.
