Can we defend this team ?

Time and time again they let us down badly domestically , no doubt Stevie G will get a lot of stick but for me the players must shoulder all the blame here.

We know they have the ability to perform but every time against lessee opposition we look like second best. That was our best chance of silverware this season and if anyone had any lingering hope about the league then surely that puts it to bed.

Morelos must also come under some flack here and after hearing Stevie G at the start of the game it makes you wonder if he cares at all about fighting anymore when he's on the park.......he is his own worst enemy and imo is a complete and utter liability to our team. When we need him most he's not there and no doubt it's unsettled the team.

Complete joke, Europe is a nice wee change and yeah if we manage to go as far as we can I'm sure it will be great BUT our priority was stopping them getting another treble.....that's gone now. A quadruple treble for them when our game is at its worst in terms of quality really puts it into perspective how poor our team must be.

No you can't defend any of them. Gerrard spoke about getting back to the basics of the game. We couldn't even  execute the basics tonight. No heart no desire didn't look up for the game at any time. Our so called big players Davis, Tav, Goldson,Jack, Arfield and Kent even McGregor looked erratic. Not one of them turned up. But they will all start next game because our overall squad has zero depth.

This is what I've got for starters for why they are not defendable...

Davis & Defoe should never have been offered new contracts.

Tav is not a winner.

Ojo should have been returned in January.

Morelos should have been disciplined by the club a year ago.

Gerrard refuses to change from 4-3-3

and btw, that grass is an utter disgrace to play football on. It is far too long but far from an excuse.

We need answers on what the fuck has gone on since coming back from the winter break. We really dont deserve this shite. 

Some regular poster said there was a falling out in Dubai and then the thread was closed, so didn't see anymore about it.

Problem is you have players coming out and shrugging their shoulders and saying we don't know what's happened. If that's the only answer they have then why even ask them.

The team are being held back by an overly defensive formation.  4-3-3 is too conservative for domestic games against every team other than celtic.  We’re relying on those 3 front players to do everything.  The move to a more offensive formation like a 4-2-3–1 should’ve happened by now.  Get an extra attacker on the pitch.

Can't defend team or manager. Unfortunately we can't sack the team but the manager I'm afraid has to go. Two trophyless seasons and another treble handed to the filth. If his name was anything but Gerrard he'd be sacked by tomorrow morning

How well do people think we'd be doing if McInnes had said yes? Genuine question.

I'm baffled by it all . 

First half of the season we're playing as good a stuff as Ive seen under many a fine manager , now it's as bad as it was those years in the lower divisions .

Hearts ,fuckin Hearts  bottom of the league , won four games since November - Falkirk , Airdrie and now twice against us .

Says it all really .
