Lustig awful McGregor awful Sinclair awful dembelle really awful Tierney awful. skip it be here all day. ajer excellent my motm. broony ok Gordon good saves but still heart In mouth with ball at feet. Forrest ok ntcham excellent and should have started along with griff. don't often say this but Brendan picked wrong team but after all that murtys mob still couldn't win.
30 Dec 2017 15:05:31
Agree with most of this. Wrong team, Ntcham def should have started. Dembele worst man on pitch. Ajer? Let two or three balls go which a true centre half would have cleared and is not quick enough to be a top player. Need to strengthen in window.

How is speed a component of a top player especially a defender?
30 Dec 2017 15:27:10
I’ve Said it before and I’ll say it again KT is very overrated. Malky you will get pelters for saying any of the boys didn’t play well. The team has been poor this season, yet we still lead the SPL, hope the break revives us and we push on.

In the context of 92mins got to disagree ajer at 19 playing against sevco for first time was imo excellent defensively and especially in possession he gave a slack pass in first half that was it most if our problems were coming down the sides as we were very poor. as far as pace goes that can be improved but he reads the game well so it makes up for it.
30 Dec 2017 16:02:04
Kt was shocking today but he's still one of our best. He wasn't the only one, a lot of poor players today.
30 Dec 2017 16:22:32
Agree with some of the comments above. Again dafa, don't know what your issue is with KT bit envious the lads living the dream?
KT wasn't actually bad, id say his only weakness was caught out of position twice to create there chances down that flank. But other than he actually didn't do much wrong. Ajer was solid at 19 I think BR has made the right move turning him into a CB. He'll come on. Brown was class again the man backs out of no tackles and always gives it his all. Minus the one or two slack passes in the whole game he was decent. Dembelle maybe lacking a bit of match sharpness but wasnt that bad either think he lacked decent supply but held the ball up when he could and tried to create chances. Forrest didn't do much wrong for me, Declan John had him matched for pace but again Forrest created opportunities and at the moment he's the one player I believe when he's on the ball can do something. And before starting negatives Craig Gordon as much as he's a clown at times saved us starting the new year with a footballing hangover. He pull some top class saves today.
Now on negatives been saying this since start of this season lustig, loyal servant to the club, clever player, role model but now he looks done. Physically he holds himself like a pensioner, looking at the bulk brown has, KT has developed, Forrest has developed I'd like to say does lustig miss a leg day. He needs to bulk up to get that power to run up and down that wing otherwise he's finished. Boyata always looks a bombscare. Day dreaming, and always delivers dangerous passes around the back line. Sincy has been Barry White all season. For the 10 mins of decent play he's had something ain't right. I'd drop him for a good few games (even upto the EL game) let him sort his head out and he come back if he's ready, but otherwise he's a lost cause at the moment. Worse than a man down.
My verdict on that game was we were dominant in possession created more chances. But they came away with the better chances. They didn't look better than us at all, just looked more hungrier.
I'm more concerned of attitudes of players than I am off standard of players. This chopping and changing the CF I hope stops come January pick one and let him be consistent. I think a right back, still another top standard centre half, and a left winger are needed at the moment. The GK we need would be great but I'll wait till summer for that if need be. Have a good new year Bhoys and Hail hail!

I didn't think dembelle held the ball in the whole time he was on list possession constantly and it was criminal his reaction when Sinclair burst I to the box and cut it back he was a mile late with the run a thought he was dreadfull bit it's just my op.
30 Dec 2017 17:19:02
Agree about the delayed run Mally he should of been in between the two centre backs ready to push on when sincy put a goal on a plate for him. This im putting down to lack of match fitness. He hasn't had enough game time same with Griffith's. Swapping around to much. I genuinely though considering the poor long balls that were thrown up to him he done well trying to hold up and move. A bit to far down the park for a centre forward. Again lack of game time. Don't get me wrong he's a centre forward and his jobs to get goals which he never done but I think the supply was poor genuinely. Again only my opinion.

KT has set such a high standard that when he does not meet it, some criticise unfairly. He still has (imo) the goal of the season from the early games. That said, (its ok Ed, I won't ramble on about it being their only job) some of the players do look tired and a bit jaded so hopefully the break will refresh them a bit.
30 Dec 2017 17:19:25
Don't know what is with this constant criticism of KT is about, so he had a bad game, as Cassius Clay said, a wise man can act the fool, but a fool can't act the wise man. KT is a great talent, he might have one or two bad games in a season, Dafabet makes it sound like he only has one or two good games in a season.
30 Dec 2017 17:50:55
. we will not sign a player of Note in January. Perhaps a loan player and another couple of projects.
30 Dec 2017 18:33:10
Mibi KT was trying to do sinkys job aswell?!? We had an off day today but they still couldn’t score we have been needing this break for a while we will come back refreshed and ready to kick on this was our 38th game today then throw in international games and travelling for European games it takes its toll also the style of play we try and implement with fast passing and pressing is hard going. Dembele was horrid today but understand why BR played him he’s better at taking the ball in than LG and was a certainty there defenders were going to be trying to clatter him there was no space for LG to run in behind which he’s better at. Relax we will win league at a canter.
