Just back from Hampden, thought we played well in that we stopped them from playing but we offer absolutely nothing as an attacking force, all we've got is crosses or long diagonals, we desperately need creativity in the final third and a striker, fuck me we need a striker.

That should be Morelos last game for us, maybe give him an hour against Hearts in the last Ibrox game of the season to get a wave but he's finished, he's been done for a long time and today was just one last opportunity to let us down.

Kent's in the same boat, an utter shitebag, he crawled up his own arse since their new right back arrived and he's no come out of it since, looked totally feeble today.

Tav, fucking hell Tav, where do you begin? He's our biggest goal threat, that in itself is embarrassing even though his numbers are phenomenal but once again he lets us down at the back post, he's a terrible defender and this is going to be third treble he's watched that mob win as our captain, think about that man three fucking trebles as a captain, I don't even know how that's possible, he isn't solely to blame but his individual errors have cost us for years and everything he does for us in an attacking sense can't mask the fact he's a monumental faulure as a defender, he's still making the most basic of errors at 30 years old that he was when he was 23 in the 2016 Scottish Cup Final. 

People can say we played well, that's upto them but for me we didn't look like creating a thing, crosses and long shots, we need more than that.

I don't even feel gutted, just absolutely scunnered with the whole club, it's hoaching from top to bottom.

Neither Morelos or Kent deserve a chance for a final send off at Ibrox, they have both treated the support with utter contempt

He was fine. Put in some dangerous balls and didn't really do anything wrong 

The fact he isn't Barasic is a fucking bonus

One of the crosses he put in that they cleared just about for a corner.  If we had a proper forward on the pitch he'd have been there for a tap in but none of our forwards think that way and even with tap in opportunities manage to miss like Sakala.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,242]

Glad I gave this game a miss today there was only going to be one outcome 

Beale has no answers, doesn’t even look like we’re knocking on the door. They may not be his players but does he have any idea what’s needed, I have my doubts 

We gift them goals now we’ve gifted them another cup.

It's actually embarrassing when you look at that and realise they scored while our players just stood and watched!

Aye I wasn't disagreeing with your post mate. Defence is a joke as well. Sometimes it looks solid then it lets you down with stupid schoolboy errors just when you think it's looking comfortable.

Yeh I know bud, just fucking infuriating watching this team. It's been the same all season

[Davidorrp 285]

As much as I feel we need to bin most of the current team, we really also need to address how we play the actual game. Again today, our passing at times was really slow and poor. Putting ourselves in trouble at times with it. Again a couple of hospital passes evident as well. 
 

We went back from breaks when there was forward pass on or space to run in to. Several times we did this during break taking sting out of our own attacks. Usual 20 passes to get over half way line. One point in 2nd half they had 3-4 passes from back to front and got a corner. We take an age to get up park. 
 

Our shy’s were slow, free kicks in half way line going back putting us under pressure instead of forward or even launched into their box. Tav collected a long ball out wide of their box in first half and got closed down by Maeda, instead of just hitting it off Maeda for a shy and keeping territorial advantage. He tried a drag back and put it out himself for a shoe to them.  Just so stupid to watch. And shows a real lack of game intelligence. These are all things that can be coached into players to be better. 
 

Big loopy corners to back post all game. Poor crosses in general as we always look to cross from about 25 yards out on the diagonal. Get to the bloody bye line. 
 

This is why I’m worried about Beale. I’ve not really seen the improvements in our general play. The basics if you like. 
 

It’s fecking demoralising at times

How many shots are we going to sky over the bar 🤬

Watched the warm up and the front guys shooting, fuck me, hardly one hit the target. I did think to myself we aint scoring if thats them shooting with no pressure.

[AGM_72 3,734]

Some issues sum it up for me. 

Sakala, horrendous miss. (And disgusting footballer).

Raskin abysmal error. 

Bench was dire. Nobody is worried that those subs are coming on.

The reality is we are a season or so behind them.

Hope Ryan Kent gets out of Johnston's pocket for his pishy transfer in the summer. Rancid fucking fraud of a footballer.

Our midfield doesn't make enough in these games and I'm fucking telling you now that in 6 months time we will not have a better side or midfield.

Our midfield is the very least of our worries.

Its the front 3 who are the main issue. Across our starting front three we have had 27 goals in all competitions - compare that to theirs - 51. Our front 3 have scored less than the bowlcut alone.

It's almost as big a problem as well the rest of the squad. Look at how long they maintain attacks for. Look at how we work the ball and then either aimlessly cross or give it away. 

I appreciate our midfield is the best of a bad bunch but it doesn't create enough and who, in the summer, is changing that?? I hope it's the front 3 to a huge extent, what we have now is not enough.

Obviously the defensive fuck up's do not help, but quite frankly I do not think we are even good enough to be in a position to gift anyone anything. It is not as if we are in a position of dominance with only our own mistakes to blame for not winning every game we play.

Not good enough, plain and simple, a situation that we are going to have to get used to as no bored Saudi Prince is coming over the horizon to our rescue.

Its really not. Our midfield more than matched theirs today and was probably one of the very few plus points to take from the game. Cantwell was our best player and Lundstram and Raskin were both solid.  We also need to get rid of about 4 or 5 midfielders who are sitting about drawing wages and never playing in the likes of Davis, Kamara, Jack and Arfield before we even think about adding numbers there.

3 of them are out of contract and I'll be shocked if Kamara is still here after August.

He's been one of our better players this past while.

Currently there are many issues, like not having a decent forward line.

Better does not mean good enough.

Somehow the Japanese is the next person to touch the ball here

Happens constantly with us. It's a shit show and I'll never understand how in a game like this you cam just switch off.

[Craiggybear 6,192]

The defensive errors will take all the headlines today..... but honestly how the fuck did he miss this? 

 

I fully believe if that goes in, we go on to win that game.

Sure but they didn't create anything. That's fine if you match them in a defensive sense, but who's providing for the attack? Our midfield didn't offer enough IMO.

It's the least of our problems, but I think that is faint praise. The midfield needs to be ready to defend and actually provide chances. Our front three are the worst part of our squad but as usual, our creative play today basically was: get the ball wide and hope someone arriving at the back post will do something.

It's not good enough.

[goaaaal 971]

Scunnered with that result today they were shit overall we should have destroyed them once again it's basic errors that gift them another fucking goal .

We aren't imposing ourselves enough in the final third despite hitting the post and bar it's the extra things off the ball that make the difference something we've let slip big time in the final third .

Raskin for me was really good not many others  these disjointed team performances sum up where this team are at had they been more effective we would have ragdolled those spawnny bastards today.

Kent I wouldn't even have given him a game caught in possession umpteen times yet again can't wait till yes gone sums up the last two years even accounting for some euro performances domestically he typifies the lazy arse attitude that has been festering through this team knowing they will be playing next game be it through managerial naivety or forced injuries him and a few others stopped delivering a long time ago and his fucking stroppy attitude should have been nipped in the bud as far back às SG but injuries and other factors should have saw the likes of him fucking bombed from the first team collectively they've failed themselves and their team mates and the sooner the squad is gutted the fucking better.

Jesus wept. That miss really is grim. I thought it was a bad miss at the game, but those angles on TV make it look even worse. He did the same in the LCF too. Player with no composure whatsoever.

Agree. Have concerns that we will buy players for a system that really has been sussed. We get the basics wrong so many times. Who is questioning why we are so slow going forward?
