Risky. The replacement one might have no crib for a bed.

It’s whether we can justify 7M on him when we need an over hall across the squad.

Our identity is to try to do well in those moments.

Was nervous when I saw our lineup but just noticed their keeper has a top-knot. Surely we can score past someone like that.

I think that era deserves the hype for the type of player we got, the type of football we played. But… given the quality we had and the chances in Europe we really should have won something (in Europe) so in that regard it’s partly a failure too.

Can we please have a quiz when you join the forum that you need to pass that involves understanding the basics of a contract in order to avoid people saying things like "cut our losses", "move them on", "get shot" every time we have someone with a succession of injuries?

Negri and Mols both dropped off a cliff but that at least due to a known reason (injury) where as these two it seems to just be a massive drop in form generally.

King injury was a chance to change tactics to 4 at the back and actually attempt to get a draw….. bollocks 3-0.

Yilmaz tries to start something positive and Sands just blasts it back to our centre backs….

I don't think a hammering from Napoli will be a factor in the boards decision making over Gio. It's almost guarantee anyway. Aberdeen will be important though.

Is it definitely a rule that you can only field 1 goalkeeper?

I think it’s more the boards fault that matondo v Wright is the choice he faces. Not saying Gio is perfect here - the squad he has should be capable of much better performances- , but he has been dealt a pretty bad hand.

I lay most of the blame at the boards door, rather than Gio. The board have made so many errors that I suspect it’s that shambles that has effected the transfer dealings and left Gio with Dads Army plus some erratic performers to play with. I don’t know exactly how the recruitment process works internally but I suspect this is not the team Gio wanted to field. More that he has had to pick a preference from shortlists he didn’t want. And he can’t exactly come out and say that. The Ridvan transfer smells exactly of that.

Cut our losses by paying him his full salary up to the end of his contract?

Anyone know if this clown turns up at ibrox or auchenhowie or is away 'working from home' ? The board will probably do nothing, but if there are a number of angry supporters outside making their feelings known it will be harder to sweep under carpet.

Some reactionary nonesense on here. None of the players are shit. The manager isn’t clueless. We are just being massively outclassed by a team that are a much higher class. Is anyone really surprised?? We should be competing better than this in a few years if we can qualify for the CL for next few seasons and keep building. But this is just literally where we are on this journey.

I don’t know the starting line up pretty sure it will include all 4 of Lundstram, Jack, Davis and Arfield.

I'm in my 40s, and since I was a little kid we seem to have had ridiculously bad luck with injuries.

Maybe Gio will get a football manager-esque pop up "You have not selected a goalkeeper, are you sure you want to proceed?".

What worries me is that if celtic can do this to us (play with massive intensity and hump us) then all 3 of our CL opponents should be able to do it even harder….

It just did and the pair of them just stared at it!!

He tripped Kent up!!

Is this a fucking music concert or what? Start the match already!!

Maybe sakala has read the last match thread on here and is going to prove everyone wrong in the last 15 min by running riot. Maybe 😁

My wife just told me to shut up for constantly singing the champions league anthem in an 'angelic' voice.
