Better with ten than eleven. Still a very weak performance from us and failed to really compete until the game was over. One team came to win a game and the other turned up to watch. We lack real quality in the final third that needs to be rectified or we will continue to surrender the title and champions league money season after season.

Cantwell can go off anytime

Heads are gone wtf was that.

Cantwell caught in possession again. Time for subs.

Brutal defending in the midfield

Complete shift in mentality required to get anything out of this today. They have been more willing and sharper in the tackle and we seem to have regressed into the team that doubts it's ability to win games. Dessers inability to get a shot away is no surprise and his recent up turn in play is the exception not the norm. Unbelievable that the ref wasn't asked to go to the monitor to look at the handball. But then there's as reason we have already submitted two formal complaints about Collum.

Hagi played more often than not on the right of a front three and his lack of pace exposed him in that position. Dropping back more central as a midfielder supporting from deeper may suit him. With current injuries it wouldn't be the worst idea to bring him back.

Three points and move on. Best try and forget about the game as quickly as possible. Probably would have been better if it had stayed 11 v 11.

Our shooting tonight has been woeful.

Need to move the ball quicker especially to the wide areas. Sima and Ridvan are guilty of both coming towards the middle and congesting the central area.

Sterling taking advantage of circumstances and giving the manager a decision to make once the others return to fitness. Thought he was superb today.

Seems to want to rush a pass at all times. Very rarely is the quick pass on, or accurate enough to result in anything other than gifting back possession. He also never seems to break out of anything other than a jog. I think there is a skillful player in there but, perhaps he believes he is better than he actually is.

What a result and performance. Great to see Roofe getting the winner and Sterling also put on a good performance. Other positives, Dessers best 45 mins since arriving, Cifuentes showing up in the forward areas with a great pass for the second and Lammers.... not great but probably his most positive showing since arriving. Thought he could have done better on a couple of occasions but he looks shot of confidence when staring at the goal.

McCausland has to do more defensive work, jogging up the park watching the goal scorer pick his spot.

Great goal, now get Lammers of and perhaps we have a chance.

Lammers is horrific.

You always new there would be a Clancy moment in the game. But I am not sure Cifuentes even has to challenge for the ball. When he does challenge there's nothing in it and certainly no real malice. They should appeal this one.

Excellent header.

Defence is a shambles today

Zero response to going down so far.

WTF examples of how not to defend

Given today's update on Danilo and Lawrence. Many including myself are thinking about Sima as the central striker and Matondo on the left. But given that Lammers made his break through as a number nine for Herenveen could he be an unexpected choice to be given a chance as the central striker.

Squad is so fragile its beyond belief. What's that now, Jack, Wright, Borna, Danilo, Raskin, Lawrence all unavailable. Thankfully Lammers and Dessers are a bit more robust and are always available.🤦😕

Lawrence in beside Lundstram looked ok and should be the way forward until Jack or Raskin are available.

His substitution for me was more out of annoyance by the manager and a statement to Cantwell that he has to follow orders to help the team. But if it's about helping the team and not based on personality differences. It's hard to argue that leaving Lammers on the pitch is in favour of helping the team. McCausland coming on 100% everyone will agree with, but if it's about helping the team Lammers had to come off and Cantwell moved more central. The lack of discipline in following orders could be dealt with after the game, but surely the end game is to have your best players on the field.
