Tactical fouling
It's getting beyond a joke how naive we are in some of these bigger games. Look at the Rangers first goal last night, Cadden gives the ball away in an awful position but then he has the chance to bring Sakala down. Just bring the man down and take a yellow card FFS. Very similar thing happened for Maeda's goal at Easter Road earlier this season.
We seem to pull out of challenges rather than show proper aggression in our pressing. If we take a few yellow cards so be it, the point is that your disrupt the opposition and allow us to reset our shape. It also lets the opposition know they won't have it all their own way. And then you don't lose goals like the 4th where we make Rangers look like prime Barcelona.
Only Lewis and maybe Egan-Riley actually competed properly. It must come from the coach, so it's something he needs to change along with his general approach to playing Rangers and Celtic.
