i could see us throwing this lead away withthe injuries, motivation and tactics in this team right now. Might get grief for suggesting this but seriously we were as bad as I can remember today |

Fair bit of this now creeping in. You have to question his team selection and game management at times. |

Paid a fortune and has a far higher budget than Deila, yet has us on less points then either of his two seasons and playing some really poor football. Things need to change fast. |

It was always going to be difficult to maintain last seasons impeccably high standards but we’re on a downwards trajectory. He’s (hopefully) the right man to sort it.

Two Champions league group stages, one Europa League last 32, one domestic season unbeaten, one league title, one Scottish cup and one league cup. Compare Rodgers with Rodgers of last season if you really must.. He went up against Deila last season and smashed him out the park. |

Said in the post match interview that it was the same system as against Hearts with different personnel. In his own words though, "We had a lot of talent on the pitch, but no quality." Didn't hide from the fact it was a poor performance at least |

2 defenders lost in the first 25 mins cut his options down a fair bit. |

Clarke could end up manager of the year. Unbeaten in 4 v us and rangers i think. Beat hearts away too. Taken them from bottom to top 6. If Rodgers decided to leave in the near future, it wouldn't surprise me if we went for him as a replacement. No saying he would be my choice or that but could see it happening. Think he's a Celtic man too? |

Yep. The first half v Hearts was outstanding. Probably the best we've played all season. Why change the system? Dembele had a partner up there with him and it was easily the best he's played all season. Goes back to being up top himself today and he's anonymous. It's no coincidence. |

Today he had no plan B when plan A wasn't working. If the pitch is shampooe, then avoid the pitch; go long and win the second ball. Sometimes you have to be big enough to swallow your pride and just once in a while try to win ugly. Or you could be stubborn, ship 7 goals in Europe twice, 5 on another occasion and then watch as the team's confidence takes a battering. |

We played the same system today. Edouard and Ntcham both played as 10s the other night. Same system today but with Musonda replacing Edouard. |

Thought our pace and movement was good in the first bit of the game. We are far too easily knocked out of our stride, whether it is losing a soft goal in Paris after leading or being disrupted by a couple of injuries at killie. We have to toughen the eff up. |

Occasional Substitute

I've a feeling it's to do with Sinclair. His best form was in the 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 with Tierney overlapping but this requires similar on the right side and that just hasn't been there this season. So the back 3 has become the alternative setup but Sinclair just doesn't seem to be able to find a role that suits him in it. BR seems really keen on getting him in the team regardless. 3-5-2 the team looked excellent as you say but BR put Sinclair back in what I assume was more a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1, breaking up the front 2 and from what I gather it just got too congested centrally. EDIT: Only caught last 25 mins and have since realised that Sinclair didn't start So the setup was basically the same as Hearts but Musonda in for Edouard. That one personnel change is bound to make a difference given how different they both are. Just seems strange to break up what could be an interesting partnership.

And Deila didn't have anywhere near the wages, player budget or standard of player available that Rodgers has been afforded. Scepovic, Stokes, Kazim-Richards and Cole were the competition for Griffiths FFS. I think that's enough of a leveller to having a pishy Sevco in the league. Anybody trying to tell me we've been good enough domestically this season is talking pish. |

For the first time, I'm beginning to worry quite a bit about his judgement. |
