Might be fatigue but we've no been great most of the season. I think we might need to do a bit of significant rebuilding. Next two transfer windows are huge.

Utterly unacceptable to be schooled twice by a glorified PE teacher.

Sat and watched us get dismantled second half, and done nothing about it. How his pet project lasted 90 minutes I’ll never know.

Scunnered - we aren’t very good, or at least aren’t as good as Rodgers has many fans believing. A dismantling job is needed. I hope Rodgers signings are better going forward than the majority of his signings thus far.

Disagree, teams open up and come at us and we generally go through them. We struggle more with the teams camped into their own final third, especially this season.

The Hearts game was an aberration from this of course.
Teams in Scotland haven't pressed our central defence or goalkeeper as aggressively in the past as they have this season.

Sure, some teams have opened up, but there hasn't really been a real concentrated effort to hassle Gordon, Boyata and [insert cb partner] before.
I’m wandering if our dominance this last season and a half is finally starting to improve our domestic competition a wee bit.

If you have such an imbalance of quality in a league like we had last year then eventually the best team will begin to dip with the lack of suitable competition, but the others will improve as we became a far more lucrative target. Beating Celtic over this last 18 months would have been as good as a cup win to many.

Today was awful, but there was plenty of reasons why we weren’t playing well.

Still think BR has a huge rebuild on his hands if he wants to see a 3rd season of CL/Euro progress.



Quite possibly. It's also impossible to maintain the same standards from last season so this campaign was always going to look less polished than the previous one.

That said, we haven't been great at home at all this season.

Could be. Also could be a lack of quality in certain areas. Gordon Dalziel insisted on Clyde that players being tired is a completely made up thing though, so you can probably bet your house on all this being down to players needing a rest.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
What a pile of pish
How so?
BR could be questioned over certain favourites who play week in week out when its obvious to most that they need dropped, however once the players cross the line he cannot be held responsible for basic errors from a squad of internationalists.

In the first half yesterday Lustig nearly gifted them two goals with sloppy passing.

I could go on however what's the point.

If you really believe that BR is the issue then your kidding yourself on.

No manager is infallible or beyond criticism however what BR has achieved is remarkable.

My only gripe was him not starting Ncham.

He was on form, Armstrong and McGregor weren't . Thought he was a shoe in for a start.

We are not going to get less matches next season unless we don't make it to one of the European group stages

Got to start prioritizing;
CL and SPL matches for the best possible line up
Cup games (and perhaps some SPL matches) for players returning from injury, squad players and youth players

Rest the first team players, when possible, especially the wide players looks worn out yesterday

We basically have two players for each position. However, we are unfortunate to have two long term injuries both wingers and the two guys who provide flare in Roberts and Rogic. A forward who can also play wide would add a bit of extra cover.

It's the day after, and I still can't get my head around not playing Ntcham.

Agree with most what your saying. But i think schooled maybe a bit far. Defo got the better of Rodgers in the two meetings though. To get two draws at cp with they players at his disposal is decent from their perspective.

What was it that Murty done in the two games that allowed him to get the better of Rodgers?

Murty hasn’t beaten him yet. Like every other manager in Scotland bar Levein in almost 2 years. Stop with the nonsense

It’s not difficult to work out. He made better use of the relative resources available to him.

Schooled is probably the wrong term as Brendan hasn’t learned much from either occasion apart from a further underlining about the lack of backbone in his own team

It's easy to criticise the manager.

Had Sinclair scored any of his 2 chances from 5 yards out in the first half we'd have been on for a pumping.

Rodgers made a mistake in his team selection but this wasn't some sort of tactical masterclass from Murty ffs.

I do find it odd we don’t look like we spend 1 minute on our set pieces, we just hit and hope.

Been banging on about throw ins all season and a good part of last.
Does my absolute tits in that we have no plan for these.

Don’t understand how can we can look so overcoached in some areas and totally lacking in others

Its a joke. Thrower gets ball. Players wait about, thrower looks around, then after crowd starts to murmur one evades his marker to end up 6 feet from thrower. Then the pass back is either out of play or waist high.
We lose the ball. Repeat.

Every effing time.
