How many times does Gordon need to get beat at his near post before the penny drops ge never seems to learn major weakness in his game and he was back to the parrying the ball when he could have caught it.

they all lost it for 30 mins tho mally, even broony, plus 2 mids in our defence, they haven't lost there for a long time either bud, we always seem to switch of in these matches, something the gaffer must keep working on.

It was the difference between the first half performance and the first 20 min of the 2nd half that shocked me! Talk about night and day! Passing the ball about lovely in that first half and created a good few chances. but as soon as broony made a mess of it just after half time we seemed to lose the plot! And like u said BW we essentially had 2 centre mids in defence, and it showed when they started to have a real go! But these games are all about getting through and that's exactly what we done! Last nite was hopefully a wee wake up call that we can't switch off for a minute at that level, especially now we're going to be up against the best in Europe in the group stage! hope we can add a couple of bits of quality before the window ends. on another note I think we've found another gem in ntcham by the way, this boy can play! So assured and composed for his age and he'll only get better!

Your right BW the team swiched off but he always seems to get beat at near post look at the hearts game as well frustrating because a lot of his game has improved hugely under brendan.

Abolutely the weak link for sure Mally, but they should never have got those chances imo, when he switched it to 5 no one knew what they were doing, i saw lustig 10 mins after the switch asking the bench if it was 5, one things for sure we better learn from it as if astana can cut through us like that i dread to think what a madrid or a bayern will do.

Haven't seen us lose four goals in a match since that nightmare in Barcelona in last seasons group game and really thought we had screwed the nut in Europe away from home when you look at Rosenberg this season and Man city and borussia m'gladbach last season.
All I can put it down to is over-confidence and lack of concentration after going in at HT 6-1 up and coasting?
Obviously it was a makeshift centre back pairing, but guys like Lustig, Brown and McGregor had very poor games while a few others just lost the plot for a tricky period and got themselves in trouble until substitutions were made.
I would hope that every player has learned a lesson.

He made a couple of excellent reaction saves earlier in the second half to be fair but he certainly has plenty of weaknesses.

Spot on BW hopefully gettibg our cbs fit will improve us along with the new bhoys coming in.

Gordon pulled off a couple of good saves too don't forget.

To be fair to Gordon he was beaten again at the near post which was shocking but if you look what lead up to it. First griffs misses a sitter, then straight from the kickout their CF got the ball and bitton ( who had a total nightmare ) was left for dead and made any attempted tackle that my gran would be ashamed of, then lustig went AWOL and Gordon was left alone. It was a horror goal all round. He did pull off a couple of big saves to be fair when he had no defence in the second half. I said it before that bitton has no pace and takes too many touches to play CB. Thank god it want not a glamour side or it would have been ten.
