Personally i think its a combination of a number of problems. firstly gio is attempting to play a different style to sg. The problem with this is the type of players he has are not the type to be able to play his style. under sg he realised that both full backs lack defensive qualities so he went with a style that suited them.2 cdms to protect against counter attack, but also to protect some weaknesses in goldsons game. further up field it gave aribo more space to play in and our wide forwards were supported by our high full backs, leaving mainly morelos to cover less ground but be a nuisance. worked well most of the time. However players get stale and fresh competition is needed each season. this hasn't happened. squad players have been bought rather than players that will push for starting slot. so we have showed signs of players just turning up. kent and morelos being the main 2 in my opinion. The other lads that people on here have been critical off, are struggling with the different shape and tactics and are struggling to adjust. playing 1 cdm is highlighting flaws in the type of full back we have and also goldsons flaws. aribo is being crowded out and playing deeper. our wide forwards are also playing deeper and wider than when with sg. so full backs struggling to get out even if they could. which leaves whoever is playing as striker as a very lonely figure. Gio may or may not be the right man for the job but we have to be positive and believe. unfortunately i believe the mistake which has been made is that gio has instantly tried to deploy his style. had a short impact after sg left, which happens a lot with a new manager coming in, but the performances have shown that as we are being picked off with both the low block and the high press, the players are struggling with the style and we are seeing poor team and individual performances as players we have don't have the ability to adapt. sorry this is a long message as i am a new poster and needed to vent! . Going to the celtic game. i am a believer with horses for courses. that's what sg struggled with, not having plan b or c. that's how he is a 2-3 season gaffer. Playing celtic, at parkhead with their new team amd style and our form bang average, the tactics were wrong. I think everyone on here would settled for, at worst a point. sit in fill the spaces, pick your moments. if i am honest i don't know what gios tactics were. but celtic took foot of gas in second half, they reverted from the press to give us the ball, fill the gaps and restrict chances as much as possible, then if it came to it they would hit on break without over committing. jack tried to inject intensity into game and i admit he made a difference, but at 3 zip down, celtics mission was just to not concede, period. we took too long with ball possession beforw final third to make any impact on hart. Jack shot from distance and goldson header from set piece. in my opinion gio needs to revert to style of sg for remainder of season, players will be more comfortable with that. then whatever happens in summer he can get the players who can play his style.
