"Deal With It"

When I typed that GS seemed to be getting his excuses in early, I did so half jokingly but deep down I was worried. But again oor manger seems to be one for the most illogical of quotes and views on the game.

"We did make chances but didn't take them. They made chances and took them."

Right, we made two half chances- Jaro and Skippy- and a stick on chance, from the bemusing Donati, but other than that we created nothing, which is becoming the norm against r*ngers.

Read somewhere that GS said we would have to “deal with it” regarding the result. But how often do we have to deal wie performances from players who seem ill equipped and ill prepared when they take the field in big games.

Saturdays performance comes as no surprise to all of us who have watched Celtic under Strachan. We can be great or we can be so pish poor it’s embarrassing.

Also how long will we need to “Deal with” strange tactical tweaks to the team? Ok, GS went for the “new black” formation of 4-4-1-1, which I agreed wie, but…O’Dea at right back, Regi Donati as the deep lying midfielder and Sno who has been poor all season playing further forward was bemusing to say the least.

The whole blame can’t all be laid at the managers door. While some paid for being oot of position, half fit and rusty others were just poor. We handed them a victory without laying a glove on them, which is unacceptable.

Did Smith tactically out fox GS? You have to say yes, but a blind man who has lost his guide dug could tell you where oor weak spots are, it’s not rocket science.

Suppose I’ll just need to take the managers words to heart and just “Deal with it”.
