Gerrards fault

[ElBufalo20 7,875]

Team shape formation and line up all wrong.

He’s done plenty right but today has to take the blame even Ojo on before Jones was a major error.

 

[DontMindMe 15]

The players' fault.

 

Bottled it.

Gerrard bottled it before game even kicked off

[The Godfather 71,714]

Hopefully he takes full responsibility for it and never makes moronic changes like that again in a game like that.

Baffling really given the best player in Scotland who’s scoring for fun was left out.

[lidorfc 6,665]

Team selection was baffling, coupled with some truly abysmal infidividual performances, we're lucky celtic are shite otherwise it could have been much worse.

Nah.

The manager dropped players who shouldn’t have been dropped and changed how we set up. Was clear from the start it wasn’t working.

its on him 

[kanjo 26,327]

Starting with no wingers and with Defoe was a terrible decision and ultimately cost us.  Second half they had the initiative to dive around, defend and counter attack. 

Not good enough and no excuses as they weren’t that great today either. 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,123]

Goldson’s fault also, that pass was criminal, he should just have booted it up the park instead of trying to be clever.

 

[RDB14 2,760]

Dropping Morelos and playing no natural wide men (argue if you want about Jones Vs Ojo but one of them should have played) put us on the back foot right from the start.

[bluenoz 30,680]

He gambled, he lost so I hope he admits he got it wrong and we move on. I still think we are the better team over the course of the season.

[MARK92GERS 804]

If Jones or Ojo had even started I don’t think either would have made the difference

Until that point, he was bossing the game. So frustrating.

[Bluekev 43,671]

It might not have been so bad if the midfield could put a few passes together. Whatever plan Gerrard had was made even worse by the gutless cunts on the pitch.

This. It's not going to stop Goldson struggling with a 10 yard pass.

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

The most stupid team selection I’ve ever seen. For so called professional coaches to get so wrong is scandalous 

[SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330]

Its effectively a new backline for them with what is potentially a bombscare at LB, and we didn't go for them once its absolute stupidity.

We should have flew out the traps and gave them somethig to think about but instead we sat off and let them get into a rhthym.

[The Beast 9,182]

No width.  But we couldn't win the middle.

Aribo bottled it.

We couldn't find a pass.

We let them win almost every 50/50.

Long diagonal passes that rarely came off.

No second runner into the box.

Utterly shit.

 

[theclothmonster 1,704]

Squad is a mess, no real alternative to Tavernier who's having a nightmare recently, LB problem even worse with no real first starter. The one piece of the puzzle most agreed we needed after last season(attacking midfielder) still not there. Shoehorning Arfield out wide every game because the wide players are bang average. Ojo is a dud but seems to have bulletproof vest on with Gerrard, Aribo posted missing for two biggest games of the season so far. 

[Mor3los_1 3,672]

Team that finished should've started, trying to be too clever and fucked it.

[plymouthranger 3,863]

Starting 11 looked horrendous, 5 CMs playing with no attacking full back on one side.

[superallysbears 7,572]

Absolutely the gaffers fault, no high press no heart no fight, didn't see this coming at all.

Rubbish and one of tthose two start it’s a totally different game. We 

[Hadron Collider 30,780]

Gerrard has to be the one to blame here. It’s an old firm game and you must go with your strongest side. Can’t fathom his thinking today. 

[Laudrup1984 25,100]

I'm generally not one to criticise our starting 11 as we have great strength in our squad (well I thought we did!).

However I don't think many of us were happy with the starting 11.  We know how to beat them. We know the formula. We know what they hate. I have no idea why we didn't do what we've done the past two games.

That said very few players get an pass marks. McGregor obviously and possibly Davis.

Lack of creation, shots, urgency. 

Gutted.

[STEPPS BOY 73,790]

His team selection and even subs were a mess but make no mistake, the issue we have is the same as last season.

The lack of quality in the 3 players behind Morelos.

If teams play an open game against us then we’ll have success, any team playing 10 men behind ball and we toil badly.
