Look on the bright side; I am fairly confident that we will  secure 2nd place this season.

Our midfield was abysmal, second to every loose ball, Miles away from opponents, not interested in winning the ball back and the reason we lost the game.
The whole balance and effort was wrong and Lundstram, who had been playing well was completely ineffective in all departments. Dowell looked decent for a few minutes like last week but just became invisible. Cantwell was doing his own thing, some flashy runs but no end product and I wonder if his lack of structure and tactical discipline is causing problems in our set up.
Te second bottom strugglers making our midfield look like part time journeymen should never happen.

I thought he was poor in the few games before his injuries. At the time I thought he was maybe trying too hard to make an impression and that was why he would make a poor touch or overrun the ball. Now I realise he is just always off the pace and has poor control.

Actually that would explain his attitude and performance today.

The manager must make some brave and wise decisions in the final games. His starting lineups have been bogging recently. Souttar needs dropped and also hit the treadmill. Barisic, Lawrence, don't deserve to be here. Dessers first interview after signing raised an enormous red flag, he looked and sounded like he'd won the lottery

When you see a regular free transfer player, Murray, looking far better in all areas than Dessers it shows how bad our recruitment has been and how poor our squad is.

14 points lost to bottom six teams, and beaten twice by teams who were 2nd bottom at the time. I think that points a lot towards attitude and over inflated egos.

No midfield protection at all , weak and posing.

Running through the centre of midfield again.

Being bossed in midfield and garbage upfront.

You're challenge idea is very NFL... ironically, I'm certain that football has tried to use the NFL "clear and obvious" mantra when VAR came in.
 
I've had this discussion a few times with a mate who is of the opinion that VAR should just reach the best decision possible.  But then you go down a rabbit hole of the game being "re-refereed" from an office in order to get every call correct.
"Clear and obvious" doesn't really work in practice, does it?  The majority of VAR interventions are actually very subjective imo.  The game on Sunday had 3 and all 3 are still being debated... our penalty and disallowed goal are both technically fouls but certainly of the soft variety, then you have a handball that was the result of a deflected cross from 2 yards away. 

Doesn’t really matter who the opposition is. If you play with wingbacks you need to defend the gaps. Normally done by your wide mids/wingers. Filling the space to help out on a counter. 
 
 

I just thought that was a nickname for him. He'll be Mazda from now on!

Yes predictive text is a right bugler.

Mazda was non existent in the second half because Sima not only made him track back but he tracked back to help Tav or cover his runs. That way of playing is what happens  with every team but first half we virtually played with 8 men.

Can add Tom Lawrence to that list too.
