Orinoco Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago What a performance from start to finish. Our tactics worked a treat and like the game against Hibs the opposition had no answers. Our passing, movement, pressing and drive was brilliant. Celtic really lost their discipline and really should have been down to at least 10. Said, what a guy. His close control and trickiery is worth the admission money alone. No failures in the team. Ward has now shown he is more than a capable goalie and deserves praise for his big saves at critical times. Onto probably the hardest game for us, St Mirren. We owe them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Outstanding, what a night. Superb performances right across the team. Only disapointment was we only took 2 goals off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a great nights work to end the year, bring on St Mirren. The only slight issue was the final ball or we'd have pumped them. However I in no way detract from an absolutely fabulous performance.

A healthy crowd too. Now we need fo focus on St Mirren. A home crowd nearer 7000 than 6000 is incredible for a midweek game against one of the OF where historically our fans stay away.

star sail Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Forgetting about budgets and history and the odd dodgy decision, could Motherwell actually win the league this season? They have matched Hearts, Rangers and Celtic in terms of performance this season and have shown they can get results rotating the squad. Based on that performance tonight it must surely be a possibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously don't think we have a chance but if the miracle was to happen the structure of the league is exactly how you'd want it as an outsider. How good was it to see Celtic replicate the fuck up we gave them at Celtic Park. It's a strange old game. My biggest frustration will always been the League Cup should have been in the Fir Park trophy room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuwell2 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Absolutely gutted that I wasn’t able to attend the game tonight, but for all of times I’ve seen us go close only to watch it go tits up and leave feeling sick, watching the game on tv - although no where near as good as it was for those there - it was an amazing feeling and the interview with Jens after the game is something everyone should try and watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCL84 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Wow, what a performance. Dominant from start to finish. It could have been more than 2, but the points are the main thing. Watt is a great player, he completely controlled the midfield. So calm on the ball, drop the shoulder, turn, play a slide rule pass. Sumptuous stuff. The whole midfield machine was purring tonight, on and off the ball. Slattery had his best game for a while; Just never stops, he ran himself into the ground; Fadinger too, a great find (thank you Mr Wimmer); wee Oscar did a great job too, sitting in front of the back line. At the back, Sparrow provides so much energy, as does Johnny K; SOD and McGinn absolutely solid. Up top, Said is scintillating at times. Such a tricky player and a well taken header. Dare we dream?

MFCL84 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I should also mention Callum Ward, he has proven me wrong. An assured performance tonight, and it isn't the only one recently. Well done to him for turning things around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a few mistakes earlier in the season, but I can see why JBA stuck with him as he has really grown into this system. He looks very confident and assured now.

Based on that performance tonight it must surely be a possibility? We've only lost 2 out of 6 against the Top 3 and we should have won at Tynecastle and got a point at least at Celtic Park and Ibrox. That says to me we are absolutely as good as them in one to ones. What we need to do is win games like the one coming up which I kind of alluded to in my original post. The best Motherwell team I've ever seen should have won the league but lost to lowly Dundee Utd and St. Johnstone sides. That's the tricky part rather than the big games when you challenge for a league. It's likely the 'top' teams will drop a lot of points in the run in as there genuinely isn't a gap between the Old Firm and the others now so it's down to us to keep up our performances and form going and you never know. We are further back that the Top 3 so we are probably going to have to beat the Old Firm and Hearts a couple more times this season to have a chance but this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. Motherwell are a club who will always struggle to keep talent and I don't expect that to change but this season everything is in place. The stars are aligned. It's there so why not go for it? Right now though we just have to get the heads down, keep the performances up and tick off the games. Let's get into February/March and see where we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should definitely be targeting the Scottish Cup though. This team is definitely good enough to win that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted 54 minutes ago Report Share Posted 54 minutes ago Absolutely magnificent game tonight. We absolutely bossed that for about 80 minutes. I dont think Ive ever seen that against either of the big two in 57 years. The energy, determination and tenacity of the team to get after Celtic and not give them a minute, was immense. They JUST couldnt handle us, or him! This team/squad/manager has something. We might not win the league. But we ARE in the conversation and we should be looking at the Scottish Cup as a viable target. In Jens we trust! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can stay close enough to be one of the official chasers, it's going to be a fun second half of the season. Close to zero chance of winning the league, but I'm going to predict we don't finish in a relegation spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
