Aye we were gubbed tonight and aye we were fortunate only to concede 3 but this wisnae Alloa in the petrified cup we were playing but the hardest thing tonight was listening to Rob MacLean laying it on thick about how we were taught a harsh lesson at Europe's top table . didn't mention the 375K every SPFL club made off us . as usual they cue up to slaughter us but we are there and always will be.

Thought Rob McLean was over the top tonight with his constant "battered in bavaria" chat.
We just need to cut out the silly mistakes and being so scared of the opposition. A bit of confidence goes a long way and that has to start from the back. Craig Gordon a liability once again. He made a few great saves but instills no confidence in defence and is caught out far too often.
I think BR also has to adapt to who we are playing.
But we can't compete with these teams and I'll be delighted if we can finish 3Rd and get a decent run after christmas.

Strange u pick out CG mate, u say he is a liability yet also say he made great saves.
Can u tell me any other player in the team who did anything great?

The only joy these currents get is watching Celtic lose. None of their lot stay in Europe long enough to unpack a suitcase before they are cuffed by 'Fuctivano or Real Social Club'. The gloating and smirking soon disappears when Celtic remind them of their place, hidden in our shadow.

No Rayman I don't think any of our players were particularly good. And it's not a reaction on tonight particularly but he makes mistakes in every game. A good shot stopper but at this level it's not good enough.
Like I said not a knee jerk reaction but something that must be addressed in the near future if we're to improve and make an impact in europe.

Prod McLean was a disgrace. I hope they stop using that can't as a commentator. I despise him.

He had the cheek to blame brown for the 3rd goal. Rayman CG is terrible and could have done better with all the goals he has weak wrists and always parries the ball into danger areas never seen someone at his height being able to turn 3ft 2 for crosses we need a better keeper and the couple of good saves were shots that hit him.

You all can't be serious? Gamboa has hardly played since joining and was lacking in match fitness when thrown in at the deep end against one of the best attacking teams in the world. I would expect him to be shaky. Brendan did make a mistake in not starting Ajer and keeping Lustig on the right in my opinion, however he's paid the big bucks to make these decisions. Some of you are slating Brendan for his choice in tactics and signings but the last time I checked we were still undefeated domestically and on course to finish 3rd in a CL group that includes 2 favourites to win the competition who have spent millions on players and another team with a lot of great young talent. You would think we has spent millions on Mexicans that don't perform and have a manager that's on another planet the way you lot are going on. Dislike this all you want but I'm only reiterating the facts of our current position.

Simply cannot believe the comments on here re Gordon, so let's go through the goals.
1; a header by Lebandowski (No less) 1 of the best strikers in the world is in the middle of the box on his own with a free header (Lustig had no idea where he was and Gamboa watched him move and left him) puts a powerful header to the corner and CG can only make a good save he has no time to decide where he can palm it all he can do is save it and hope his defenders bail him out.
YET AGAIN his defenders let him down and the ONLY player in the vicinity for them is Mueller and he reacts first to tap in.
So question is wtf was Lustig and Boyata doing.
If you are a central defender and u know crosses are coming in and u have 1 of the best strikers in the world against you its not rocket science to say to yourself where the f*** is he.
2 Gamboa skinned not showing him inside to bodies and let him cross fat too easy, again basic defending, cross comes in and hey ho we have not 1 not 2 but 3 Bayern players unmarked 12 yards out either could have pulled it down to score but the header is put back across goal into far corner with CG going other way. He had no chance with that.
3 Yes it was poor distribution from CG but tell me a keeper that doesn't do it, more importantly we had a corner to defend.
Cross comes in and free header, why no one on post?
Hummells is a danger at set pieces why not picked up?
Again CG no chance.
So that's my take, if you had told me we would lose 3-0 its perfectly believable, if you were to tell me we lost 3-0 from 3 headers I would be saying wtf.
All 3 goals were down to extremely poor defending and how we set up, we clearly can't defend properly at this level or pass for that matter and are not set up to make us difficult to beat.
I fail to see how that's CGs fault.
