Anyone here remember a simpler time when we went a whole season playing 4-4-2 against everyone including the mhankies and still won everything? Never would Sir Walter or Graeme Souness have played one up front, I remember games where we played 4 forwards and 2 (proper box to box midfielders-Stuart McCall a prime example! ) but unless a man had been sent off there was not just one up front especially against them! These times may feel like a long time ago but they are not a distant memory, yes the style of the game may have changed but the aim is still the same-score more than them. it's simple and yesterday proved whilst we've come a long way we still have a long way to go. usually yesterday would've been a whitewash and these forums would be in uproar folk threatening each other's dugs the lot 😜but here we are the best fans in the world gracious in a defeat that could have been a lot worse! I can't help but think if we hadn't just got in amongst them a little bit more yesterday and niggled away that wee bit more we could've got the point or in a dreamland scored on a break away, big Lafferty with a belter into the top corner lol Yesterday wasn't the drubbing we have sadly become accustomed too and yes it was a defeat but the signs are there fellow bears 🇬🇧 Coulibaly was a big miss but we can't rely on a single player, yesterday may have been a defeat but it was also a step in the correct direction. I think the next Old Firm game at Ibrox will be a lot different and let's see how the smellies like it when they're launched at from the first whistle🇬🇧🔵⚪️🔴💙❤️.

Nonsense, Smith often played a 4-5-1. I remember seeing us play them with 1 up front and that one being McCulloch.

Smith loved a 1 striker formation. I remember fans crying out for us to go 2 up top.

We played one up top under Smith all the way to a European Cup final.

Smith played with no actual striker at times. Times have changed and now most teams are three at the back with wing backs. Move on. We were well and truly outplayed. naïve in not playing to the whistle and lucky they forgot their shooting boots. Mind you we are obviously better than last year and still in Europe so I think things will only get better. The league is asque right now and will look much better come Christmas.
