    Miles off it and not captain material anymore, get a proper No.6 in now.

    Again, emotions running high, but he should be playing less. Still a place for him, but * me he was terrible.

    McGregor wasn't great but he was FAR from our worst player tonight. There are other players capable of driving the team on.

    Every time we lose we slaughter him. In danger of becoming like the huns are with Tavernier

    Genuinely only contributes pointing and backwards passing to the detriment of our pace of play.. but sure don't slaughter him.

    He's the captain, Brown wouldn't have got this much leeway.

    Agreed brown was slaughtered in his last few seasons at celtic but still put a shift in.

    I don't think he was good but wasn't it him who played Maeda through 1v1?

    Also played in Maeda in ET.

    But aye, only backwards

    Whatever, mate.

    You lot have blinders for this shitebag.. a constant in a midfield which has absolutely failed in Europe beyond one season.

    Agree to an extent, but he was also * abysmal in both games and is our most experienced and widely accepted as our best player so deserves every bit of criticism that comes his way like the rest of them do.

    Him as a 6 is retarded. Hope we soon get a manager that sees this and signs a proper DCM. McGregor can still contribute but in his natural position more forward.

    Should no longer be an automatic 1st pick. Been a couple of yards of it a year now.

    Now is time for the change.

    He's going to go down the exact same route as Brown did, he's already lost a lot of pace and that dynamism is gone.

    He can't be guaranteed to start anymore.

    I get the point your trying to raise but for me we been down this road with Broony. No doubt, like Broony, callum has been a fantastic player for us but it doesn't make him immune from aging or criticisms.

    I don't blame callum though. What most clubs do to support their long serving superstars is get a promising talent to share the role with them for a gradual transition. Most clubs also support player like callum by making sure they have ample quality about them. Neither of these things have really happened.

    I am big fan of callum but another thing I disagree on is whether he was one of the worst performers tonight. He evidently was. He played maybe two forward passes all game (one being a very good incisive pass), the rest were not only backwards but all risky backward passes that nearly cost is within the 90 mins itself.

    I think there are plenty of comparisons to Broony here. Towards the end, that's exactly all Broony dis, backward and sideways passes for 90 minutes. Callum is going exactly the same

    Been crying out for a proper No.6 since Victor Wanyama, been the longest neglected position in the side for over 10 years solely because both captains play(ed) that position and no manager has had the stones to replace them for a better player

    He's visibly slowed.

    Been great for us but if you analyse that performance tonight the amount of times he was bullied in the middle or lost a second ball etc. Countless.

    The midfield hasn't been given enough attention due to all the chat about the forward line. Its a major issue.
