    Only players with pace in our team now are both on the left, one will need subbed after 70mins and the other should be up top.

    Rodgers needs to be ripping them apart and the board after this game. Kairat want it more, they are doing the running and playing with pace in the final 3rd.

    Unless there's a big change in attitude, desire and ability then we'll be adding Kairat Almaty to the likes of Maribor and Cluj on the list of mediocre teams who've put us out of the CL qualifiers. No positives at all and numerous negatives. The board unquestionably bare a lot of blame for the dismal TW we've had but those players need a serious kick up the a**e because that is unacceptable.

    From a financial point of view it's pure incompetence having this team going into a cl qualifier against a team like kairat when there is 40 odd million up for grabs..

    A quarter of the way through the tie and you’ve got to say based on what we’ve seen so far and what we’ve got coming we’ll be going out.

    They’re well drilled and we look slow and unfit. No surprise a hammy is away.

    It’s a big 45 minutes now. Idah has to come off and Maeda needs to go through the middle. I’d bring McCowan on and put Forrest on the left, see if we can work some possession and chances for Maeda, then switch it up again with Yamada and Yang.

    But this really is * dire. Outstanding arrogance from the board, who must surely be * themselves watching that knowing there is a good chance they’ve blown a fortune for this club.

    Ultimately a midfielder who hasn't lit it up so far and a winger who is hot and cold at best aren't quality options. And they're the best we've got FFS!

    Rodgers getting schooled by a part time yak farmer isn't a good look.

    We need to be much better in everything we do next half.

    They were awful against Bratislava but seem to look like they're prime Italy against us.

    Incredibly intelligent play from Idah there.

    He knows that if we qualify for the CL then we'll use the money to buy a better striker. By * us into the Europa he's making sure his jobs safe.

    Genius move

    Poor, poor first half.


    All that possession and * all to show for it.

    Absolutely toothless up front. We have gone from playing makeshift centre half’s in Europe to having * all out wide and nothing in the middle for the final third.

    Absolutely stinking that performance so far.

    This is what the board created.

    20 games into the season certainly shows.

    Very underwhelming performance so far. Hee haw upfront and kairat know it. They’re just sitting in, soakin up any pressure (which is moderate at best), buying fouls, frustrating us and managing their game well.
    They’ll be confident getting out here with a draw. And I can see it myself tbh.
    Rotten upfront. Who’d have guessed tbh? It’s not as if it’s been glaringly obvious for months!

    Jesus that was dire . Rodgers looks shell shocked . Has to change it somehow, that’s what he’s paid for . Probably best we don’t get in the cl as we will be destroyed. Can’t see us beating this team anyway .

    On beIN SPORTS they’ve stuck a graphic up


    And Liam scales has been the top passer with over 55%

    Honestly don't think I can watch another half of Forrest and Idah.

    Engel yamada and Yang on for McGregor idah and Forrest. McGregor yellows aside has looked like he's pulling a trailer around the place

    Cannot believe what am watching here. Looks to me like Kairat have studied some of the hun games from last season and decided to press fucknout us knowing we'll absolutely crumble.

    Not one single pass mark there, maybe ccv and aj before he went off. The rest have been * scandalous.

    Rodgers better have an idea up his sleeve because he's getting his * handed to him on a plate here. Horrific.
