    Just said in match thread but we should never have been going in to today weaker than last season. And our first 11 is just that, weaker today than it was last season..

    Inexcusable that we have added quality in. Farcical even with the season starting..

    CB (if starfelt goes)
    CM

    Still needed. Badly.

    We can't go into Europe of any sort with this squad never mind the UCL.

    We didn't play well in some of those games, away to real or either game against Leipzig.

    With each game it gets more glaringly obvious.

    Not addressing these positions would be negligent.

    I don't see a CM coming in unless 1 leaves. You have Calmac, Turnbull, Hatate, O'Riley, Iwata, Kwon and Holm.

    I think we lack a different option. Too many similar players there.

    Not one of the problems that needed addressing at the end of last season has been. Added to them we now have no Jota and no replacement of like quality. Still 4 weeks of the window left etc but I have a nasty feeling that 5 weeks from now we'll be no closer to sorting these problem areas.

    Anything less, and it's sheer negligence.

    We need some quality in that will be starters, still feel we have gone backwards since last season.

    100%. Too many fans have fallen into the trap of just assuming we're gonna win the title for evermore, regardless of what we do. That isn't me buying into the pre-season sevco hype either. It's just a realistic assessment of the fact we are currently weaker than when the season finished.

    Johnston will be back so I don't see a RB coming in.

    That performance just highlighted it even more.

    New manager and all that but the sloppiness at times today was unacceptable. A better team should have taken points off us. Conceding 2 to that shower is nowhere near good enough.

    GK, LB, LW, CM are priorities in that order. Another CB is crucial as well if Starfelt goes.

    Lots of work STILL to be done and not that long to go now. We genuinely need to wake up and get the finger out here.

    That leaves more questions than answers to be honest.

    We could be doing with several players, but a left winger and a goalkeeper are absolutely essential.

    Maeda and Hart will be two of the worst players in the entire Champions League group stages if we go in to it with them in the team.

    We have 3/4 weeks to get a number of positions that we have been crying out for.

    GK
    LB
    Number 10
    Left and right winger.

    Please don’t say we have plenty of time, we don’t it’s been extremely slow this summer regarding first team ready quality.

    Amidst the panty wetter rhetoric, it's been abundantly obvious to anyone with half a brain.
