The Kanga change made a lot of difference to the way we played. Hodge in the middle helped him too, looked much better. Would have preferred to see the Longelo/Kanga combo with Palmer-Houlden in the middle though. And on another note, fucking Irons repeatedly saying 'Palmer-Holding' proper grinds my fuckin' gears.

100% agree, but what was the point of changing right backs with five mins to go in the first place. The Kanga sub made a difference. Him and Longelo looked excellent together. Thor is uselsss.

Fuck sake O Donnell.

Big Thor is Stamatalopolos with a less complex name.

Much improved start on the last couple of games. The fucking Sparrow needs to stop flying south every time he gets the ball though.

You mean you don't want to see this derrota aplastante ???? And the idiot commentator has already reverted to Palmer-Houlding again, after getting it right once last week.

I was actually singing that during games in Jan-Apr !!!!

You should have told him a joke....

Hope you're taking her somewhere decent this time and not the shit hole you took her to last time 😄

Alfred Johansson has gone through a major transformation in his time at Motherwell

6-1 now a few mins into the 2nd half. Maybe Hearts defence is as bad as ours. MJC do you want to revise your prediction to 9-7 to them ?

Sundays opponents currently getting their arses handed to them at Parkheed. 4-0 and it's no even half time yet.

Would certainly give Irons a problem to deal with......

Always worries me when you get optimistic about our chances.....if we defend like we did today, that'll be a decent result.

I thought for about a 15 min period in the first half, we looked OK going forward. Fadinger was playing the role that Priestman/Watt would have played, moving Hodge out of the way and we build from the back again for a short period, but I'm not sure how Hodge fits into all this. He can't play the 'Watt' role, that's for sure. Outside that short period we were just a mess. I can't see what we're trying to do. There's no patterns of play (other than out to Sparrow and backwards again). There's no proper press and no proper off the ball movement. Something to think about that we haven't looked decent on the ball out of defence since wee Oscar got injured. Looks like a team that doesn't actually know what it's meant to be doing.

Another chance through a sleeping defence. Lucky it's not 4-2

Fucking sound asleep in defence..

He's certainly not great at Palmer-Holding the ball up........

Thought Moorman looked good at the start of the season but he's a fucking bomb scare now....

That is proper ripping my knitting that is. He's had weeks....can he no fucking read ???????

I'd have had SOD at RB and either G-R or K-L in beside Moorman, possibly Levitt instead of Hodge. I wonder if our commentator today will have actually read the team sheet and get Palmer-Holden's name right....

I don't see it as 'wanting the manager to fail' but more about how we seem to be going backwards. Our strengths last years stemmed from a back four who could play the ball comfortably with cool heads and a defensive midfield that had the movement and energy to create space for the back four to play out through the press. We should still have the players to do that but we pass sideways, progressing backwards until someone eventually launches it. The more attacking midfielders bunched in with the defensive mids when out of possession to hunt the ball down, often breaking down attacks before they even happened. A lot of what we did last year was pretty simple but just done well. This year, the longer it goes on and the more time we have in training the worse it gets. We were a disorganised mess today, following on from some pretty inept performances against Stenny, Aberdeen and Dundee. I think people are worried (and surprised) about the speed we're going backwards at. If you look like you've got a system and it doesn't work out sometimes, that's one thing, but when you look like no one knows what they're doing, that's a major concern.

And insisting in interview that his starting line up was correct !!

I was starting to find some sympathy/agreement with your views today......but that's just fucked it 🤣
