Just seen that we've not had a shot on target, is that right?

Can anyone tell me what's the purpose of his wee circular turns when he gets the ball in the middle of the park.

Seems he just gives the opposition time to work out how to get the ball off him, or what usually happens, makes a desperate pass.

It's his style Dutchy but I'm not a big fan . Someone used the words "paint dry " His movement is almost as quick .

Get the ball to the by line and then try to thread the eye of a needle,that seems to be about it tonight.

Just finished work I take it I'm not missing much ????

wtf is going on?

Depends who you ask.

Apparently warbs doesnt care if we win anymore games apart from the final so the players are just taking a breather cause they are tired....

Aye, We've only got into their box twice that I can think of.

According to BBC stats that's correct.

Mon to fuck Rangers just give us a goal.

[Drumloyal 14,997]

Infuriating display.  All those bears working all day then travelling in the evening, spending a small fortune, only to see this pile of utter shite.

That would require us to actually shoot once...

Halliday had a shot that hit the Tony Macaroni restaurant.

Zelalem with no 'drive', 'urgency' or 'skill'. Give that Barrie McKay goal against Hibs another watch

He has skill no doubt. He is just slow as fuck has the heart of a mouse and slows our play down making us predictable....... Great player tho.

I'm sure it's an easy guess.... 

A mixture of shocking finishing and Amateur defending again?

Hopefully just a bad rut seeing as we've won all the major games pretty much.

hopefully get it out our system for the cup final.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,158]

Imagine if we had still been playing for points... Clueless 

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

Its puzzling.   MW seems to say in his media briefings that the team is in great shape physically.   So the poor showing can't be down to that. 

On Saturday against Alloa he described the performance as lacking cleverness, flat, lacking quality in key areas,  lacking in spark.   Could just press the replay button to describe tonight except its actually worse.

If this had been an Ally McCoist led team I guess that these sorts of league performances would be producing near meltdown by now.   MW and the squad are getting away with this because the league job is done, Petrofac won, Celtic beaten and the prospect ahead of winning the Scottish Cup.   Fair enough because so far these have been great achievements.   

But..... lacklustre performances and results like this do not build momentum for next season, do not provide encouragement, only serve to underline the fragilities in the squad and illustrate to a degree just how much is still to be done.

Or...........Is it just that the players don't want to get injured and find themselves ruled out of a cup final so they go through the motions to preserve themselves?  MW and DW will know whether this is a big factor in these sorts of poor performances.   The thing that will be interesting to watch is what they do about it for the cup final.

Doesn't surprise me at all. We are severely lacking a cutting edge. Possession is worth fuck all if it doesn't lead to chances and more importantly.... Goals. 

[Frank Reynolds 3,359]

Keeper with a good save

[Rangers#1 5,471]

nae luck Jason

[eejay the dj 31,964]

Only a few can be excused but I seriously hope a few of these guys are not here next season . It's almost like last seasons pish

Not the situation though... therefore irrelevant 

[Vanoli 4,625]

We're completely playing with fire for this final. 

[callumbo87 209]

We have been playing like this for ages, but getting away with it!

Im a Warburton fan but possession does not always win you games, just look at Arsenal etc.

He needs to have other ideas/tactics next season.
