Brendan Fraudgers!

I know it didn’t seem great at the time, but getting rid of Dembele after his antics helped in a weird way. It gets an unhappy guy out the door and gives us money in January to sort out key positions.

 

Depending on the Boyata and Benkovic situation , ideally we keep them for this season at least, Boyata signing a new contract and Benkovic getting an extended loan would be the best outcome as they look a strong partnership.

Give Brendan 10m in January to bring in 1 or 2 quality players most notably a right back and centre forward. We don't need hundreds of signings just quality we have a settled squad, and you are also seeing players within the group getting a chance such as Christie who we were going to spend money on mcGinn for no reason. some other fringe players will go.

 

If the board actually back him.

 

Laughing and clapping away like it was all a big joke at the end..

I'll tell you what's a joke. Dropping another 2 points to some diddy promoted side, unable to break them down and failing to even change tactic to 2 up late on....instead subbing of our best and most dangerous outlet and leaving on the diddy choker because we need to watch his feelings and hope he's back..

 

He’s clapping cause we just went top of the league for the first time this season

 

Lol..

 

Taking Forrest off, unless it was an injury precaution, was a mistake today.

 

* up Kyndig you negative hun *...

Eh? What's going on here!?

 

Good 1..

 

Agree. Sinclair should've made way for Morgan.

 

O * that didnt last long about him being the messiah again haha. Wind your kneck in ffs. All it was was a draw. It happens. Its part of football. Have mentioned it many a times on here, the sweet isnt as sweet without the sour. Days like this lets us appreciate when we are on form. * happens.

 

The what you having for dinner thread is in the pub section son..

 

I wouldn't be pointing the finger at anybody today. That surface is truly awful. The rubber bits were even hitting us in the crowd as the pitch is loaded with them. U have to take an extra touch on that surface. Doesn't suit a team who try to play fast flowing football. That game today needed Scott Brown in there. Maybe he should have mixed the team up today, with a bit more physicality

 

BR: “I thought it was a good game. Credit to both teams. We did the basics of the game very well. Livingston really test you with how they play through their throw-ins, deep free-kicks and corners. I thought we stood up to that really well


BR: “The game opened up a little and we created a number of chances. The goalkeeper was the man of the match and he made three fantastic saves

BR: “I’ve no complaints about my players. They’ve given everything these last several weeks and you need to give credit to Livingston who have shown why they are a tough team to break down and why they’ve been up towards the top.”

BR on Menga: “I thought he should have been sent off. In real-time looking at it I thought he gestured his head towards Ryan and having seen the replay after the game, it was more aggressive than I initially thought. He was very lucky to stay on the pitch.

BR on Craig Gordon: “I don’t think he’ll be fit for Scotland. He did well to get through the Leipzig game with his knee and he has an injury to his hip as well. We’ll just have to assess him over the next few weeks.

BR on Kris Ajer: “He’s broken his eye socket so it’s a really sore one and he’s in a lot of pain. He’s probably going to need surgery which is a shame for him.

 

Brown, Ntcham and Griff to come in makes the squad a lot deeper.

 

Hard to criticise the guy after the recent results. Put it down to a European hangover and * pitch.

 

We've came through a particularly difficult period in terms of injuries and matches.

We've beaten Hibs, Hearts x 2 satisfyingly comfortably, booked another Cup Final place (BRs 5th out of 5), given ourselves a fighting chance in our EL Group, Top of the League with a game in hand over our closest challengers, seen the emergence of Christie, McGregor is excelling in his favoured position, Rogic & Forrest are bang on form, we can play and win big games without Scott Brown, Ntcham has signed a new deal and is almost back from injury, Griff will come back soon too.

We have the best manager and the best squad and will strengthen in Jan.

 

It was. He was one of the few players that looked dangerous at times

 

Honestly can't tell if people are trying to be funny in their criticism of Rodgers in here or it's serious? If it's serious, what the * have you been watching this past few weeks? This past week in particular has been an incredible success. If you had said before we'd played Hearts at home, we'd pump Hearts 5-0, beat Leipzig in one of the best performances of Rodgers tenure and give ourselves a fighting chance in Europe and take a point at Livingston I would have bitten your hand off. Especially considering where we were a month or so ago. If you are trying to be funny then ignore all of that, it's just not coming across that way when I read it.
