Doesn't even look to me as if Tavernier goes to tackle him, looks like he goes to block the shot. |

Maybe the Sinclair of last season was an anomaly, and we're now seeing the real player? He's still making a contribution but he's a shadow of last season's player. |

I must admit I didn't notice the crowd getting on the players back as quickly as some mentioned on here at the game yesterday. I thought it was only into the 2nd half, to be fair I wasn't the happiest either at the 2nd half efforts. I've watched the first half back and the moans are happening within 7 or 8 minutes. The support seems to be really frustrated at the moment. The patience Rodgers talked about last season isn't there anymore. Think this break is coming at the right time for everyone including the support. |

That's what makes it worse. It is the fear of being tackled rather than any actual contact that puts him off. Taverneir motions towards Sinclair and the ball and that is sufficient to ensure Sinclair puts a half hearted toe on it rather than putting his laces through it. That isn't a technique issue; it's purely the fear of being clattered. Misses are misses. That was just a lack of bravery. |

Obviously missing the sitter yesterday was a bummer given the final outcome but I think it's part of his game. Even when he was playing out of his skin last season he had a tendency to miss good chances but I think we made allowances because he was such a threat overall. Unfortunately it seems that nothing is working for him just now & he looks tired & short of confidence. We know what he's capable of though & hopefully he's one of a number of players who'll benefit from the break. |

Missed an almost identical chance in the NY game last year. Dembele bicycle kick off bar, dropped to him at back post and he screwed it into side net. |

Despite his record he's not a natural finisher, highlighted again yesterday. More worrying was piss poor attitude in tracking his man, which nearly led to a goal. |

Could be the case with a few. I think the abilities there with Sinclair though. Saw enough of him way Swansea. |

Seems to be a lack of confidence but he’ll get his form back again hopefully along with a few others.The break and a few new signings we will be flying again. |

I'm struggling to see how someone can make it to (just about) the very top of professional football, be a creative player who play is in a position where he gets leathered regularly, yet still be considered a shampooebag or a coward. Has he always been one, yet still managed to get this far in his career? Or is it just a recent thing, which would indicate that it isn't really cowardice but something else entirely? |

He definitely pulls out of some 50/50s - are you saying that he doesn't or that he does for reasons other than shampooebaggery? |

Sinclair is one of those players who doesn't do tackles in the way we like to see them in the SPFL. It's not uncommon either. He like to nick in there and steal the ball and launch himself forward. He's not a shampooebag either FFS. This is a guy who gets leathered week in, week out and get's up and runs at players again knowing what's coming. |

I don't think getting stuck into a good old Scottish 50-50 is what defines a footballer as a coward or a shampooebag. |

I'm sorry but there is simply no excusing not launching everything at that ball yesterday in order to ensure a good connection and the inevitable goal. Tavernier raises his left leg towards the ball and even with no contact it is sufficient to ensure Sinclair gets nothing on it and the ball falls into the arms of the keeper. You can hypothesise all you like about Sinclair's career path but the fact is he shat it at least three times yesterday and one of them cost us a goal. He needs to effing grow a set. |

Mine is a hypothesis whereas yours is "fact"? Right you are. I guess we can agree to disagree. |

No mate you have made some wishy washy argument about how he'd never have got to the top of the game by being a sheidtbag. Whatever. I'm dealing with the incidents in question alone and Stevie Wonder could see he doesn't attempt to get a full contact on the ball because Tavernier raises his boot. It's complete sheidtbaggery of the worst kind. Any player who isn't worried about taking a boot buries it. |
