    Good luck with Messi with gloves on as we need that, our team is a fkn shambles at consistently passing the ball back.

    If you fancy someone else fair enough for shot stopping but you're all in for a big fkn surprise if or when is replaced as it'll be the same story, more than any other team I've ever saw we play it backwards to our gk.

    Same here mate. I have backed him for a long time but it is getting to the stage where I am struggling to continue.

    His distribution was absolutely shambolic today. Brendan’s philosophy is to play out from the back and a lot of that will start from the keeper. But games like today how are we supposed to create chances when our keeper and the outfield players are constantly giving the ball away?

    It’s getting to the stage now where every time he gets the ball I think it’s going to the opposition. And don’t even get me started on that nut meg early on in the game.

    Doesn’t bode well if this is the way we are wanting to play but we the players can’t cope with the opposition pressing us.

    You think it was Gordon's fault the Hearts player was clean through on goal? He should perhaps just stayed on his line and gave him the goal to pass into?

    No.

    It clearly wasn't Gordon's fault for bringing down the player whilst he was running wide of the goal.

    Absolutely not :blahblah1:blahblah1:blahblah1

    Which goal did he give away? The pen was clearly the defence for losing a man clear through on goal.

    He was catching that ball after a lucky over-hit touch. It would have taken a world class save to prevent that.

    The penalty was Gordon being a * and getting involved when there was no need.

    The whole defence was shocking today, Jozo was * criminal but Gordon conceded two very very weak goals, their 2nd and the pen.

    Whether the defence let their man through for a run at goal is neither here nor there he was going wide and out of play yet Gordon still dives in and gives the Ref no choice.

    His distribution was just something you see from kids playing in the park, you could see it in his face he knew he * up today, was about to start greeting when he gave the pen.

    Won’t bring in the CL shots on target as they have good forwards but for the Scottish shots on target recently...

    Hamilton 2 shots on, 1 goal.
    Hibs 3 shots on, 2 goals. (Other shot on target was cleared off the line)
    Hearts 5 shots on, 4 goals, other shot on target was straight at him.

    Not to mention he keeps kicking the ball to the opposition. We def need a new keeper and he needs to go.

    Forget the penalty today. How many penalties has he saved ? Can only remember 1.
    How many times has he rushed out his line and clattered the player. He’s karate kicked half the strikers in the league ffs.
    Comes for corners n fumbles it more often than not. Not to mention he’s the worst keeper ever at kicking.

    He has to go. It’s been clear that’s the case for a while now. Then today he tries to nutmeg one of their players at 0-0 (unacceptable at any scoreline never mind 0-0 ) he had one world class save yes, but also was at fault for the penalty as the ball was going wide, if the lad did get a shot away it would’ve took something * world class to score from that angle. Instead he panics like usual and makes a stupid mistake, and I’ve not even spoke about his ability to kick the ball to one of our players yet. It’s non existent. Most of the time he’ll kick it out and give away possession via a throw in or just kick it to one of their players. He’s a dodgy *. I do respect everything he’s done for the club and appreciate his efforts greatly, but it’s time for him to go or be replaced at the very least.

    I don't understand how his passing is so bad. He's a football player ffs. The least you expect is a player to be able to pass a ball to a teammate.
