When he signed comper he could see we needed a steady cb, it was very unfortunate that he got injured at the training camp. That has changed the dynamics at the back and I don't think simunovic would be starting if commper was available. Ajer is a good player, jack hendry looks like a poor mans john stones and I can see what Brendan is trying to do to upgrade the back line. Lustig falls over like he's been shot and isn't as dynamic as I'd like at rb. Goalkeeping situation is out of his hands (pardon the pun) after Gordon's injury. Compper will be an upgrade when fit. (Notice I spelled Compper differently three times to ensure I got it right once). |

Could maybe say that about the players as well. They pretty much know they are going to skoosh Scotland, let their own standards slip and can’t actually lift them when they have to in Europe. We should be out winning four or five nil every week and then the players can carry that confidence onwards. |

This season is just Brendan's "difficult second album". We have Sgt Pepper, The White Album, Revolver, Rubber Soul all to come. |

MON was the same. Started really well and we were unlucky not to make the last sixteen in the CL then a resurgent Rangers beat us in the semi final of the league cup and the scottish cup final. All felt a bit flat after winning the domestic treble just a year before. Bizarrely, the following season was fantastic and somehow deeply disappointing at the same time. |

Could be a big re-building job. Something I hate, giving the CL qualifiers are vital for us. Few players deals running into the last year, so they are most likely going to be off but the dip in form in quite a few others, hasn't helped and has probably made it a bigger job than first thought. |

That’s just prolonging the agony. If he’s half the man he was last year he would fall on his sword, or a breadknife if he doesn’t have a sword. It’s the only way he can salvage an ounce of self respect, and hell mend him. |

Maybe the players have gotten tired of Brendan doing his NLP. |

So things are going to get worse. I'd have hoped for Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper and Abbey Road |

Great post TrevBhoy and while I don't have a mystic meg ball I see all of that happening. It takes more than 4 windows to get your team together and I'm sure Brendan is in for the long run. |

We spend too much time floofing about at the back. We were much quicker at recycling it last season. Whether that's down to Armstrong and rogic being injured and not cutting it this season when they have been fit or something else only he knows. But he needs to fix it. We're not playing near as much in that 25-30 yd area outside the opposition box area as we did last season. In the short term, When teams are coming on and pressing us how about just sometimes going long and turning them round, at least put some doubts into the opposition because at the moment it's obvious what we're going to do. And no I'm not taking about playing hoof ball, just a bit of variety and don't let very limited players like at killie and thistle get 'set'. |

While I tend to agree with you I don't think he's going to be here for years and years to come. He probably feels he still has unfinished business in England. |

Too many big players simply not doing it for him. Sinclair was piss poor again yesterday and as for Dembele - we'll be lucky to get any kind of decent fee with the downward trajectory he appears to be on. |

It's turning into madhouse in here. Think of what we've achieved and are in a position to achieve this year. We have major players coming back this week from injury and we'll be seeing Compper coming in to help steady at the back. A good performance against Zenit will cheer everyone up. Hopefully. I agree with what someone posted earlier, that perhaps certain players too their foot off the gas with an eye on Thursdays game, it happens. |
