    Unlucky not to score :fear:.

    That aside much better performance than Johnston who went missing for me.

    He completely blunted the Dundee attack by playing that ball off the post. Genius.

    Intelligence not to give up a corner too. Next level.

    If the rest of the team were on his level that ball would have been picked up for a counter-attacking goal.

    Looked a bit frustrated that they didn't pick up on it. Sure he'll have a word.

    He was playing Angeball… Hatate needed to get his * moving like he chased the ball to stop it going out, would have had a tap in.

    Think he was trying too hard to stay onside and was too cautious rather than being off the shoulder of the last defender, and that was where he needed to be to finish because thats the only route that ball could find him.

    He may not be the most skilled player but he has the heart of a lion and will never give up.

    Aye, Rashford was quiet yesterday because of Ralston, too.

    It looked like he was going to continue his run but then he hesitated and the opportunity was gone. Hope the coaches get him running beyond in a situation like that, nice string to his game it would be.

    Came on in the Champions League, with virtually no game time, did a job, got criticised for not being as good as the person he replaced, who wasn't any better.

    This Is What It Feels Like To Be Anthony Ralston :56::56::56:!

    Don't think he did too badly, few important interceptions. Booking couldn't really be helped. The cross he blootered was frustrating but did OK overall.

    Aye did well when he came on. His crossing is normally superb, was gutted that one went wayward.

    Wanted to tear my hair out with that cross he *, but there was another moment where he made a very good interception late on. As said he did a job.

    Thought he was fine tbh, that cross was frustrating but was fine otherwise.

    There was no need for him to over-hit it so much..

    Just needed a low one. Under-hit if anything..

    Another slip on that pitch that happened so consistently tonight, his happened twice, the header at the back post they got and that cross.

    Surely after half time looking at players from both teams anyone coming on should have longer studs to grip the pitch. Maybe they did, who knows, but we seen it so much tonight

    His headed interception from a counter of one of our corners was good. Beyond that I thought he looked visibly nervous and his team mates by and large looked nervous using him as an option unless he was on acres of space.

    That cross was a big moment and chance to get a good delivery in but Johnston done the same a couple of times first half. Being honest I don’t think we needed to go wide yet again on that attack, but we took far too long to do anything centrally as we did all night.
