    There have been too many days like this that's the point and there is no end in sight.
    The odd off game is acceptable but this is the norm at the moment and if it dosen't change soon the league will start slipping away from us.

    * 7 shots on goal, this better be a kick up everyone of their arses and we go on a run of wins, talking like 10+ games straight, put out youth in EL if you must I don't care I want this league won no matter what. Honestly the huns are motivated to *, we could never pull off a 2-2 in Spain, we can't even grind out a result at Rugby park ffs.

    Thats all well and good if we were playing well or at least we up for it. There doesn't seem to be any indication taht we will improve. If anything I fear things might get worse when the diddy teams aren't afraid of us any more

    Said the same thing earlier,no team can score playing the ball backwards.

    The worrying thing isnt the points dropped though, it's how * we are playing, we are stuggling badly for goals and every game we play our players look tired and unable to play at any tempo except against the huns.

    There needs to be a massive change in performance but it doesn't look like it will happen as the players dont seem to have the energy or mentality. * are probably looking at the fixture list and feeling sorry for themselves before games have even kicked off knowing they are playing every 3/4 days for another 3 month after 2 really long seasons.

    Well well well, another uninspiring performance, who would have thought with that team selection ? I did. I was shot down before the game asking me if I "was real? Different personnel same predictable, rigid tactics. Only one person to blame for that performance and that is Rodgers himself. First time he has come under pressure and he doesn't know what to do or where to turn. We can all see it, major changes in setup need to be carried out. Ok the pitch was shocking, Thompson made some * descisions but we cannot stand behind that, we were poor against a very well organised Killie team, who didn't exactly sit in the whole game. 3 away league games, 2 losses and a draw with 1 goal scored hardly the form of Champions. We created next to nothing in that game, even Griffs goal was created from them hitting their own post. Only bit of quality of note was Christie bringing out a save. Again Sinclair not existent, nothing more than a passenger. Some people really need to take the green tinted specs off and admit how poor we have become. By the end of today we will be sitting in 6th place a point behind the Huns after they win today. Quite simply Rodgers tactics have been found out and relying too much on certain players to find form.

    The delusion ends today.
    There is no "kick start".
    There's ripping up the plan and starting from scratch. Cos this * isn't working and it's critical now.

    Doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things but we had nobody on either post for the final corner...
    It seems like we don't do any defensive training whatsoever.
    Infact what the * do we do in training???

    No seen anyone suggest it is. In fact I've only seen * suggest there is no way we are winning it which is far, far more * deluded.

    We really need to sort this in the next month or the league is seriously at risk.

    Let's start by cutting out the guys that belong at Dundee etc and stopping spending the last 5 minutes passing the ball * sideways.

    We're so static so there's very little room for for driving runs or more dynamic play. It's so * obvious yet we continue with the same pish.

    Not seen the game, but result says it all.

    Other than the obvious lack of real investment, it doesn't make sense that we can fall into such a slump.

    There has to be more going wrong behind the scene then just players coming in and out.

    a lot of that is down to the playing surface and i would say having hendry at the back, only players touch that was decent today was mulumbo and christie and it bounced off of them a good few times aswell, edouard ball never stuck to him once after he came on nor did it stick to griffiths or sinclair or mikey jonstone or morgan

    At this stage of the season we look like we will struggle to win a game going forward the link up play isnt happening there isnt much coming down the sides yes teams are sitting in but that is nothing new there seems to be an apathy setting in

    Our problem is quite simple,guys whove been doing it for the team the past 2 seasons ain't doing it this season,no point in saying who they are as we already know, I reckon BR will have a wee word in their ears,he knows there's something amiss,it's his job to fix it.

    When you have a FK in your own half with 60 seconds of injury time to play, then there is NO excuse for the passage of play we saw.

    Major hangover from boyata incident and losing dembele,throw in 2 of our biggest goal grabbers in armstrong and roberts leaving and sinclair absolutely gone awol then we have a different team ,i wanna see our young players break into the team like most but ,that was the last place to introduce them ,our midfield was missing, you could not tell who was champions,and tbh we have dropped to spl level thanks to the * transfer window and the bad feeling it brought .
