I genuinely cannot remember 1 occassion when we got in behind. Not 1! No one is saying about a long ball.....just more direct - get the ball forward more quickly Edited by Tubbytubthumper, 3 Feb 2018, 05:31 PM.

Sorry bud, I'll look at this season, because great though it was last season is done, and means nothing regarding our development going forward; it's nice to look back on but it's finished. Again, I agree with you RE the going backwards comments, that is over the top. That said, I disagree with your final point; I don't think it's possible for Killie to have had it much easier today. You have a big guy up there and if you load the box every now and then you might get a lucky knock down and a chance; today we didn't really have one of note. |

No plan B Fair enough, we rarely needed one last year, but this year the players don't have the same urgency, work rate or desire and we aren't creative enough to open packed defences with the tippy tappy style he has us playing. No-one plays a probing pass when Rogic isn't on the pitch. Need more options tactically. |

I'm only looking at last season because I think its obvious what our problem has been for the majority of the season - injuries to key creative players. I don't think us failing to score is indicative of the style of football we are playing. Thats all. As for getting in behind - a few times in the second half and the final ball was cut out. Edouard got in, Sinclair got in, possibly Forrest at one point as well. A bit more quality and we might have scored. |

A blip. Unfortunately. I don't think he has lost the dressing room, I think he has a several players who think they are too good for this league/club/country. |

To be fair, plan a is rogic, who is injured, plan b is Roberts, who is injured, and we have brought in a plan c in Charly who is just in the door. The injuries this year have been chronic and are undoubtedly having an effect. Rogic/Roberts would likely have got us a goal today if they were fit, we would have won 1-0 and went away saying scrappy performance but that is why we are champions. |

It's a head scratcher. On one hand we had last season on the other hand when it was Ronny Delia delivering these performances I was effing furious

So a good performance at home in a 3-1 win is a 'blip' and the second defeat domestically is, what exactly? Even discussing this is an utter joke. Today was the exception to the rule when you look at our form over the past 18 months. |

We need to change things up at times - 2 central upfront with the odd long/direct ball to dembele. |

Really? Tell me again how many trebles and CL qualications the bold Ronnie managed? Against packed defences we players who can beat their immediate opponent to break the defensive organisation or have players making driving runs from midfield. We have lost Roberts and Hayes who can do the former and Rogic and Armstrong who can do the latter. Those losses and Dembele and Griffiths injuries, plus Sinclair loss of form mean we can struggle, especially on a crap surface against a well organised defence. There is no comparison between Rodgers and Ronnie and to suggest ortherwise is pure bonkers

There is a lot of comparisons to the performances this season. Like it or not the performances this season have not been good on the whole. You can blame injuries all you want but if we don't have the players available to play a certain way/formation then change it. It's perfectly acceptable to say he's allowed performance and standards to drop this season |

In his first few months his decisions during the game would positively influence the result in our favour if we were toiling. Doesn't seem to have as big a hit rate with his tactical choices these days |

Bringing Griffiths on at HT against Thistle for a right back and turning a 1-0 into a 1-2? Edited by san meegs, 3 Feb 2018, 06:50 PM.

You do realise that last season was exceptional? Or have we become so Hun like that we expect to win every game? The manager deserves some criticism as do the players involved today however if we win the treble again and have had European football after Christmas then that’ll do this bear
