What A Difference A Good Manager Makes

Murty had his formation and tactics right all night. Not afraid to take off Morelos who despite scoring missed a few sitters to say the least. What I will say for the kid is that he keeps getting in great positions and never lets the head go down.

Lots of plus points: Goss, Candeias, Tavs, Wes, Holt - some really good performances by those players.

Made Eberdeen look well and truly the average team they are; managed by an average manager which he is.



Ratings:

Wes - 9
Tav - 9
Martin - 7
Bates - 7
John - 7
Holt - 8
Goss - 7
Candeias - 8
Windass - 7
Murphy - 7
Morelos - 7

Not going to bother with late subs as pointless.

P.S - Just noticed that Tavs continues to move up the top league scorers table...

P.P.S - Hope Joe Lewis is ok - looked a bit of a sore yin to say the least.

Spot on Stevie.

WE need to now go on a winning run. Last night was a dominate performance for 80mins and we should have been out of sight.

Plenty of options now in the squad for rotation etc if players are tired etc.

Hopefully we can put together a wee run now and cement 2nd along with closing the gap

This has been a trait under Murty, so when you see articles stating "what a difference a good manager makes"....its a bit premature.

Aye, because under Warburton and Pedro you think we would've won the last 3 against Eberdeen?

Both of those managers were totally limited and had no idea how to change a game. Their substitutions (and timings of) left you baffled too.

Murty isn't afraid to change things when he sees that things aren't working - you could possibly use his substitution of Morelos last night as testament to this.

“Its not harsh at all IE, its stating the facts.

When he was caretaker last season, we went to Celtic Park with a poor side and got a result.....but lost games away to Dundee and ICT

This season, after Murty took over from Pedro, we have won away to Hearts, away to Hibs, twice at home against Aberdeen and once at Pittodrie.

Sandwiched in amongst those games, we've seen utterly woeful performances at home to Hamilton, away to Dundee, and a 3-1 drubbing at home by St Johnstone, and a 2-1 loss away to Killie.

This has been a trait under Murty, so when you see articles stating "what a difference a good manager makes"....its a bit premature.

Lets see that consistency first”



Nah I think it is harsh on Murty. I’m not saying your factually incorrect, but it’s been a rangers trait of the last few years before Murty was Manager. It’s more a Rangers trait than Murtys .

I agree with your general point tho about having to get the consistency . It’s so frustrating seeing us won the “ big games” then drawing at home to Hamilton etc.

Hopefully under Murty we can find consistency

Consistency is important in any sport but it requires a certain level of player and we didn't have that before this window. We no longer need to play Peña nor rely on Hodson. The new signings are a cut above these guys and should bring consistency, Whilst Murty has not beaten Celtic ....Rogers hasn't beaten Rangers under Murty !!

Coop Now Murty has made some signings we need to hope that we will find the consistency

Beating Aberdeen 3 times gave us 9 points

12 points were dropped in games against Hamilton, Dundee, Kilmarnock and St Johnstone

Do I think we would've beaten Aberdeen 3 times under Pedro or Warburton.....no

But would I have expected us to beat Killie, Dundee, Hamilton or St Johnstone under them.... absolutely

Hence the point, how is Murty a better manager just because the games we won were against better teams?

If anything, it's even more frustrating to see the team be just as inconsistent under Murty as Pedro and Warburton, precisely because Murty has got results in the tough games that Warburton and Pedro would've struggled in

Beating Aberdeen doesn't instantly make Murty better.....we just have a different manager with a different problem, that is resulting in the same amount of points being dropped

I see what your saying Stevie , I think best too judge Murtys consistency going forward from now as he’s had time to work with the current players in training and has obviously now added his own signings. Hopefully that gets us the consistency we need
