Yes lets blame Rodgers... :brickwall: Peter Lawwell is the problem, stalling on signings and not looking at the best interests of the team.
Who picked the team tonight? Who played Griffiths on right wing? Who kept Roberts on bench? Who put Ciftci on?
ciftci was actually one of our better performers. thats the scary thing
Ciftci had more urgency about him than the other ten.

With Griffiths and Roberts he has changed the things that didn't need changed.
With Brown, Bitton and Efe he has stuck with the things that were crying out for change.

Baffling and slightly worrying...

Whole set up is mental since he came in....

Why only one player bought on peanuts when he claims he watched ALL our games last year?
Why play ambrose , why not play a younger player?
Why play griff out on wing?
Why not witness how much of a mouse bitton is on the games you've allegedly watched not play him and ditch him for the alleged offer made for him.p last few days



Want Rodgers to succeed but that start and his thinking is utterly baffling coupled with his post match comments? Please get rid of these imposters and pretty fast

He needs to fix this and pronto. You would think the huns have strengthened so if they hit the ground running and we are struggling that to me doesn't bear thinking about.

I still hold onto the belief that the board are not gonna bring a big name in not back him. They have to. It might now take more money but it is needed and big time. No CL isn't an option this year. It simply isn't.
I said it last season. Our chances of qualification to the group stages this season are slim at best, regardless of the manager.

With this shower of pish we won't. That said there is no way we should be losing to taxi drivers and polis. Pish or not they should be winning games like that.

Tonight was very poor but lets judge the manager when we see how he reacts to the performance. Hopefully players will arrive and others will be told they are surplus. For all we know tonight might be the catalyst for dramatic change. He has given players a chance and they have let him down, and he will know that more than anyone.

Here's hoping.

That's the same stuff that was said about Legia, Malmo etc

The truth is we have not invested well and have a team of players that are just not up to the jersey.

when do we learn as a club that we need to have new signings in place and the whole squad ready and prepared for the 1st qualifier? this was the first competitive game of our season and as so often has been the case we are miles away from having a team ready. it's a ludicrous situation to be in given the risks. manager made poor decisions tonight but the board are to blame for our strategy and how far we've sunk.

At least Legia and Malmo are full timers. If this doesn't force a major overhaul we might as well pack up and chuck it. The fans who bought the season tickets deserve better.

Just thinking there, a theme of pre-season was that very few players actually played a full 90 minutes, if any.

Does anyone think this has been a factor tonight?

As hartson says the only thing positive is that he will now see who the wrong uns are and who he cannot trust.......well hopefully

We're at the pinnacle of poor investment and it'll take time to shift people and get others in.

Still no excuse for tonight

They are in pre season as well seemingly. Not an excuse we can use bro. We were just p!sh and have utter dross as a team. Playing time etc ain't an excuse against postman and policemen

Lets judge Rodgers on how he reacts after tonight. I am sure inwardly he is raging and hopefully this will be reflected in his team selections / transfer movements in and out, in the coming weeks.

Bizarre subs tonight.

Forrest over Roberts.
Armstrong over McGregor.
Dembele off with Brown and Bitton still on.

Must take his share of the blame.

If we were playing against a decent team it certainly would be.......but we are playing against a part-time team from Gibralter.

True but most people thought we should beat those teams.

Admittedly this is a new low but that's what you get when you buy the way we have done. Leigh Griffiths is our best striker. Fair play to him, he has done amazingly well but he's a long way off guys like PvH, Cadete, Viduka, Larsson, Sutton, Hartson and Hooper.

If you take the case that this slide has happened all over the park, we are watching Macari-era talent trying to get it done.
