Their keeper looks nervous, get the fucker under pressure early on

There were some of them smiling when Nkunku blazed the open goal wide. Any normal fans would be fuming at that.

Switching Aribo out wide was a mistake, we were looking threatening with him holding the ball up. As soon as Sakala came on our players were screaming at him making the wrong run every time. Wright was out his depth as well, not his fault but he's there to help us meet a quota. If he wasn't Scottish he wouldn't be near us.

Think we probably all would have taken that result before the game, but disappointing not to shut them out in the end. They're definitely there to be got at though if we can offer any kind of threat up front.

Yip in real time looked unstoppable but from the angle of one of the replays it looked like he dived over the ball a bit. As soon as they got the corner I feared the worst though.

Yep pretty clear why Sakala didn't get the nod to start, just doesn't have any tactical or positional awareness at all.

I'm clockwatching already. Going to be a long night of Wright getting brushed off the ball like a wee boy

Balogun suspended for the old firm game then I assume. GVB gambled in resting players for this and it was working OK until the red card. Think we just have to get this out of the way without picking up any more injuries

Think we can file that one under 'not happening'. There's going to be some scenes on here when the club announces they've agreed a year's extension with Mcgregor instead.

I think Jack has been crap the last couple of games and looks to be struggling with mobility to me. Having said that, I'd be pissed off as well if I was getting taken off ahead of a woeful Kamara.

We'll probably get horsed on Sunday now (not that it matters) and pick up a couple of injuries just for good measure.

Doesn't help that our players are so thick they continue to fire the same type of balls up the park as they would if he was there. I can't remember any of our midfielders lift their head and try to pick a pass into space down the channels, not saying Kent and Sakala would have made anything of it but at least it would have got their defenders turned and got us up the park.

If Braga get a second here the floodgates are going to open. We're so fragile and look on the verge of completely falling apart.

I'd rather they would just launch it for touch, rugby style. We're guaranteed to lose possession fannying about at the back anyway so at least make them take a throw in deep in their own half and try to push up than chip it straight to them 40 yards from our own goal like we usually do.

Not holding my breath much will change at half time, 15 minutes to turn things around and 14 of those will be the manager mumbling "ermmmm"

You just know the other way round would have our keeper rooted to the line followed by mass panic, fresh air swipes, a bit of pinball in the box and a gilt edged chance.

Clueless in possession and equally clueless out of possession. And if we do manage to bounce a few balls off each other and get in the opposition box it's a stick on some idiot will be standing miles offside for no reason.

Fucking hell, our defence is an embarrassment. Absolutely amateur, fuck knows how we got this far but at the moment not looking too likely we'll be going much further.

Sakala in a nutshell there. Good touch, then close eyes and swing as hard as you can.

VAR to the rescue. Thank fuck. Worst streams ever tonight though, mine keeps skipping forward and back 5 minutes.

Surely has to be a priority in the summer, anyone who can put in a decent set piece so Tavernier doesn't take every single fucking one.

Aribo seems to have the most fragile self-confidence in the squad, and that's saying something. When everything is going right like earlier this season he looks like a potential superstar, but the slightest bit of adversity and the confidence just visibly drains out of him and he's an empty jersey. I think GVB and Gerrard before him have tried to protect him as dropping him due to form would probably see him regress into his shell and completely mentally collapse. We need strong characters and he isn't one, so he needs to be moved on as soon as the transfer window opens.

Just watched Tavernier and GVB's post match interviews on RTV. As expected, all the passion and emotion of a wet blanket from the pair of them.

League over. Get the youngsters blooded in for the rest of the season for the rebuild. New manager, DOF and 10 new players needed. Pathetically weak mentality throughout that whole squad, last season really was a blip, there is zero winning attitude in any of those players, being led by a manager with zero charisma.
