Motherwell’s 2-0 defeat to Celtic sparks one of the most honest and emotional episodes of Motherwell Daft this season. Peter and Crofty dissect a performance they felt lacked energy, confidence and identity, questioning the team selection, tactical approach and what it says about Motherwell's current direction.
The lads debate the decision to start Willy Vogt, the impact made by Said when he came on, whether there are deeper issues within the dressing room, and why the upcoming trip to Kilmarnock suddenly feels like a hugely important game for Alfred's side. Despite the frustration, there are still positives to discuss, including Alex Paulsen's outstanding display and some promising individual performances. A passionate and thought-provoking reaction to a difficult afternoon at Fir Park.
