We shouldnt start with lundstrum Jack and kamara in a mid 3 ever again. 3 similar players doing not a lot going forward. 

Lundstrum was playing effectively in a back 3 for most of the game. We needed him in the middle. Jack and Kamara were woeful.

Europa League final despite the manager rather than because of him by the looks of it. Shocking display by everyone from the manager down. They were so comfortable and it could’ve been 4 or 5 with no complaints. Will be a struggle to watch that turgid pish all season.

Nah that’s a shocking take. He’s got it very very wrong tonight but let’s be serious we were a disaster in Europe until he took over last year

Shockingly bad  even if we do turn it around very unlikely PSV or Monaco will destroy us if we play like that

 

A hesitant defence, a static midfield and nothing up front. No Champions League football this season 

[Broxi 11,685]

Didn't know about the £5m for making it through this round, fucking hell that's a massive sum of money for one tie as well. I'm reluctant to say it's a shambles if we don't make it through this tie but it will be if it's performances like that which are the reason for it. 

[RossS1873 1,761]

When Wright and Yilmaz came on they done what no one else could do, go forward. Kamara was supposed to do it but he insists on turning back and giving the ball away. Usual. Get him so far to fuck. We need better. Goldson did not command the defence at all, which is his job and why he insists on playing every week, Lundstram should have been moved up at half time

[the brown brogue 1,934]

Sideways and backwards for 90 minutes. Don't remember watching a match before where every single player chose the wrong option every single time. That was a pathetic shambles tonight, I could forgive an off night quality wise if the effort was there, but I don't think one player gave more than 50% tonight, we were miles off the pace all over the pitch. The bench was just as bad with the manager slouched with his hands in his pockets the entire time. We're nowhere near a champions league team on that showing, add tonight to the performance at Livingston and I'm already worried about this season.

67 minutes before he made a sub tonight. Mad.

The guy was set up for a 0-0 draw , his tactics and substitutions are absolutely crazy and its not the first time either. I know its early for all of them but these new players just dont look up for it  and the fact we have lost two of our best players its going to be a massive struggle this year.

It’s possible but PSV or Monaco will be rubbing their hands regardless 

Killie will be rubbing their hands, we have a 100% goals conceded record.

[GWR1979 1,987]

Absolutely pish from start to finish. Could have easily been more. Need a big performance to stay in the champions league almost impossible when we look so flat and lethargic.

Anybody but Sands, hes not good enough.

Goldson was worse tonight IMO 

[Vanoli 4,628]

It’s the hope that kills you

All enthusiasm going into the season killed after that

The manager has got this one really wrong. Last year his tactics were immense but to not change from 3 at the back when every cunt and their granny can see it wasn't working is criminal. 

Even my wife watching with me could see it and she knows less than fuck all about football. I thought we’d at least get our usual 45 minutes out of 90 from this but instead it looked like we fielded an 11 made of meth addicts.

A hard task next week but it’s not over yet 

Can I have whatever positivity fuelled drug you’re taking please

Embarrassing watching him fall over the ball , never good enough to be wearing our shirt.

[JackAlex93 11,614]

Horrendous tonight. Fuming at that performance 

[cpm1979 201]

2nd half, Yilmaz seemed to be getting a lot of space on the left to run into, but the team would turn round and either ping it back or over to the right 🤷🏼‍♂️

He should start by laying into himself

Fair enough

[graeme_4 35,256]

The biggest issue we have, and have had since Gerrard came in, is that we simply don’t create very much.

We were off it all over the pitch and Gio should lay into them.  Need an early goal at Ibrox to give us some life in the tie.  Still think we can qualify for the play off round but that will be it. 

Who’s going to lay into him for shitebag tactics and refusal to change them until it was too late? 

[KingKirk 25,812]

Saturday covered up issue defensively we are a riot and we ain't winning shit unless it's sorted

If this doesn’t emphasize the importance of Morelos to this team nothing will. 

I don't think it does. The service to the front guys was diabolical all game.

[G.E.C. 19,082]

That was worse than Sparta Prague when we played in front of children.

[stuart1994 4,419]

Can’t go three at the back next week.

Happens often but he very rarely gets stick on here.

[bluenoz 31,286]

Hate to say it, and it is probably knee-jerk reaction, but after that performance, I think Jack's time is up and I don't think Gio rates him.

Time to give Lowry and McCann game time.
