"We're in a good place"

[gsa 3,906]

The window is close to closing and there is absolutely no sign that we are even attempting to sign a decent centre midfielder, one who can play from deep and dictate the game. We have the leader of the spice boys as club captain and our manager seemingly oblivious to his shortcomings. 

We are in an okay place, there is still lots of work to be done. From the manager as much as anyone. 

[Essandoh 21,207]

If there was any criticism I’d throw at Gerrard it certainly wouldn’t be that he’s oblivious to his shortcomings.

[KBOO72 4,371]

Subs cost us yet again, just like Pittodrie. 

 

[Zappa6995 3,645]

At no point in that game did I feel anywhere near comfortable.

[Davy Vandenbroucke 26,146]

Hopefully we sign Bockaj, Worrall and Gauld.

Desperately need depth.

[Bad Robot 21,147]

Wrong sub taking Borna off.

We came back twice from a goal down.

We’re still undeafted.

We do need more players.

If we get to the group stages then this is going to happen often, the squad is stretched thin. We're still short 2 CB's, a quality attacking midfielder, replacement for Murphy and another striker.

[BlueAvenger 10,236]

First of 3 tough games and we fucked it already.

Borna was struggling by the time he came off tbh.

Well he's absolutely lauded chief spice boy since he's arrived and he's made him club captain. So in what way isn't he oblivious?

[Howsitgoing 4,281]

Undefeated and a team with the fight to come back twice in a game. We are in a good place as we have a team that can easily win this league. Motherwell played well and deserved the draw. We won’t win every game for fuck sake. Getting a draw when we played badly tells a story on its own.

[BlueMe 25,327]

Middleton shouldn't have been anywhere near that game.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Never make a sub before a corner, don’t have 3 attacking players on when your defending for your life. 

Find an attacking RB that can defend. 

[Lerry1971 249]

If we actually get someone who can defend! Tav is a fkin liability.. fed up saying it. And never ever captain material either.

“Chief spice boy” has been integral to our progress before today and I’ll trust Steven Gerrard’s judgement to choose a captain.

Thats honking patter by the way.

Getting a draw when you play bad doesn’t win you leagues. 

Winning games when you play bad does.

He did look tired when he came off but seconds prior he did to a big run right across the middle of the park.

I would have subbed Morelos but this gives SG more clout to demonstrate we need another player for our defence.

He’s also been integral in our downfall.

i dont buy into this at all and nothing so far in the league this season suggests otherwise.  as it stands we are an injury or 2 away from struggling very badly

This. I've always had that rule in my head. You never sub at a corner

He was shite today aye. I think it’s hyperbolic to say a bad draw away to Motherwell is our “downfall” though. I’m as unhappy as you and everyone else but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves either way.

We've drawn two in the first three and there isn't that much margin for error if we're looking to give a serious challenge this year

I'm not panicking but there's clearly work to be done still

To be fair BA that shouldnt have been a tough game today, apart from our ex loanee Motherwell should be and were there for the taking, if Im honest I cant see us taking much from the next 2 games, the defending today bordered on the ridiculous.

Goldson in particular was a bombscare.
