I just don’t think this was the game to do it. Massive chance of a trophy and we should have had our strongest team out. I agree but how can gerrard think these guy were gonna let him down we have been faultless all year. Itten was shit. We missed alfie. His game gives us more than goals recently. We had a few passengers tonight. As i Said earlier next game in the league will tell us all we need to know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the teams left in the competition we were by far run away favourites. So let's start with, Bassey, Zungu and Itten of neither of them has set foot in Paisley. Let's leave, Davis, Kamara and Defoe on the bench in favour of a midfield three who have never played together. Even when you have 15 minutes at halftime to make changes, nah let's not bother l, let's wait until Bassey gets done again and then bring on Barasic. Every time he gets caught out you think let's learn from this but I think the lesson is getting lost. They targeted Bassey from the start as the weak link.

Dickie1963 2,368 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Too many on here are conditioned to defeat and no trophies. Speaking personally I am absolutely gutted.

Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Winning that shitey cup would mean fuck all to me but make no mistake our team needed that cup to finally convince themselves that they have the bottle to be playing for a team that wins cups and titles I hope it doesn’t come back to haunt us but for me that was much worse than losing tonight or who the opposition was my first impression was that was fucking embarrassing but now it’s got me worried about the rest of the season, and no doubt the players will be thinking the same way, instead of a morale boosting league cup it’s been replaced with negative thoughts and self doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was 3 games over a couple of months. You don't start with a winning the league during a treble ffs. With a far stronger squad. People are expecting this current squad to continue far excelling what’s expected and that’s fairytale pish, the loss at some point was always coming, rather it was this pish than a league game.

St Mirren are an aggressive side and he was out of his depth. I feel for the lad. St Mirren were also very lucky with the ref decisions I hope the CO reviews some of them. Beginning to think Bassey isn't ready at all for a trophy winning team. Miles out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made bigger changes at a higher level in Europe and came through it comfortably Rotation has worked up till now so I wouldn’t particularly blame Gerrard for that but some of the subs should have been made sooner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsey 1,540 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Felt like we scored the first and were surprised that St. Mirren had the audacity to attempt to get back into it. Our defence has been getting all the praise but to lose 3 goals to that mob is absolutely shocking. Players and manager need a long hard look at themselves after that. The media will have a field day with this, clear run and still can't win a trophy. If we get the league all will be forgotten but it can't be like tonight again. It's felt like ever since Standard showed how to play against us we've struggled. Getting through games on moments of magic. Gerrard and Beale need to rethink a little because we can't play the same way all season and hope it's enough. celtic will spend in January and we need to start blowing some teams away again to reassert ourselves. Starting with Motherwell. Also think we missed Alfie. The space he creates for others was missed massively tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imodium 412 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This is the true test now of the character and bottle in the team. Totally avoidable tonight, sloppy play and not winning the 2nd ball. St Mirren wanted it more and it showed in two of their goals. This is our most pivotal moment now. We cannot take our eye of the prize and it’s up to the team to make amends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Viking 702 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Shock result indeed, but it was coming !!!! we certainly lost the best chance so far to bring silver ware back to the club. Fuck knows what went wrong out there- our manager & players have done us so proud in the league and in Europe - but tonight wasn't our night at all. Hopefully that will be that - no more fuck ups and the quicker we get over this disappointment the better - and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
