Anyone think a 3-5-2 would suit our personnel? Not sure for Saturday, but maybe the next home game. Ainsworth and Chalmers as flying wing backs *facepalm*. We would probably get humped but we do that every week anyway so might be worth a try. Ripley Kennedy Laing McManus Grimshaw Lasley Ainsworth Pearson Chalmers Moult Fletcher

I appreciate your opinion mate but Celtic never came out of 2nd gear because they didn't have to. They were passing the ball about like a training drill, one touch football and failed to score more than once because we had 9 men in our defensive third. Gordon never had a save to make and although it may not be a vintage Celtic team they would beat is 9 times out of 10 given our current predicament. Celtic may be shite, but were 10x shiter, and I think all the bed wetters on here who are having a go at our line up need to get a reality check.

I actually thought the tactics were spot on. Maybe Thats just my optimism coming over, but I thought given the personnel we have there wasn't too much we could have done differently. Celtic were to a man a class above us on every level. We could have played that game 10 times with different formations in each one and I don't think the results would have been any different. I think the east stand mafia are needing a dose of realism - the boos and howls at HT/FT are a rid neck. Old firm behaviour that.

Grimshaw for me. Did the simple thing, worked like a dog, showed more determination in the last 5 minutes than most of our experienced players have showed all season. A class apart.

Lasleys a terrible shout for assistant manager. A great player and a great servant, but I've never liked the idea of a player moving into coaching with the same set of players who would have been his team mates. We've already got a culture of jobs for the boys here, last thing we need is more of it. Plus Lasleys still one of our most valuable players, not the time to be stepping back from playing in my opinion.

Some of the faux-outrage on here is laughable. I don't particularly like McGhee, and I don't know if he'll be the messiah - but I do know I'd rather have him at the reigns to get the most out if these perennial bottlers and under achievers rather than another yes man or someone whose a totally unknown quantity. Mon the Well! Mon the Mcghee! Intae these slimey bassas!

We need to get in there faces, press them hard and give them less of a sniff that we gave The Rangers. Sitting deep and giving them the ball has 5-0 written all over it.

I agree, but it's not hard to bluff your way through life if your a bullshitter - a common trait in the fitness industry. Not saying it's true but there's something fishy about it. So Motherwell.

I would play a 2-4-4 and shock the bastards.

Have it on good authority the guy was inept & out of his depth. Although spoke well and interviewed excellently. Common theme occurring...

Need to also ask the guy who bought his shorts if they too were indeed pish stained.

Get a hod of yourself man. This is the worst comment I've read on here, and that's saying something

Clubs patched it a belter. This will be the most Motherwell thing ever if it's confirmed that he went on a jolly 4 days into pre season and sold his shorts for a few quid to Cash4Clothes

...with an AWOL* fitness coach :-p *still to be confirmed

The fact of the matter is, MFCs managerial appointments will always split the support. We're never going to hire a proven top class manager; it's a shoot out between young, inexperienced guys who haven't proved anything, to old heads who haven't set the heather on fire - but can provide a steadying of the ship. Like any fanbase, most of us will have a bleat and moan about the appointments we make, citing the past as a reason to bring down the present. At the end of the day, every fan, player, manager and employee of the club wants success. This appointment might not inspire you, infact it might make you fucking raging, but when it comes to a Saturday - we need to all pull in the same direction and get the club off its arse. Let's get behind whoever sin charge on Saturday and get some points on the board.
