    People don't like to hear criticism about McGregor but it's clear as day, and has been for a while now.

    He can be an absolute liability in there because he's never a defensive midfielder in a million years. Never was and never will be. He's now 32 and evidently slowing down a bit.

    Criminal if we go into another CL campaign (hopefully) with him as our 6 in every game.

    He does, but he's just not a very good footballer. Constantly allows players to get crosses in, and can't deal with a player running at him.

    Second half has been a touch embarrassing.

    Looks like men against boys now

    I wouldn't say "Panic" it's more a realisation that several of our players are never going to get any better.

    It's true.
    But to be fair, specially at this stage of pre season, the result isn't the main issues it's the sharpness and the overall readiness of the players. And some are miles off it.

    The midfield has no pace. Been an issue for a while. Too easy for the opposition.

    At least this shows the obvious gaps that need filled with quality. Maeda should be up top and we need 2 new quality wingers plus a sitting mid that can actually play the position.
