    That’s not all he does.

    Waffle. He isn’t quiet on the pitch. You should do some learning about leadership styles. He’s an exemplary captain.

    No, he is quiet. Hart and Taylor used to talk a lot, I see Schmeichel do it as well. When the chips are down, you don't see McGregor going to players and motivating them or giving them a kick up the *. I understand not all leaders behave like that but in some circumstances it's required. I'd like to see him do more to turn morale in games like those against Kairat. He could be significantly more effective if he was able to command in that way.

    Simply not true. You need to pay more attention mate. He’s constantly talking on the pitch. He pressures the refs too.
    The Kairat failure isn’t on him, he put Daizen clean through for that chance he should have scored for example. I’m sure we would’ve all like more but he orchestrates the team in every game he plays, just like Broony often did before him.

    McGregor out.

    Callum McGregor is our most ineffectual captain this century

    Beyond our front 3 being *, McGregor in that 6 role is the next biggest issue to fix.

    Killing us in there, on and off the ball.

    Doesn’t set the tone, doesn’t turn games when we’re playing * , allows refs to bully us by not being in their ear enough about a million reasons good player on his day can’t be trusted to be a leader in the team

    So have you just totally ignored his influence in the previous 4 seasons as captain?

    If we don’t sign another midfielder I’d like to try either a 4231 with a middle of

    Engels hatate/mcgregor
    Nygren

    or if we persist on the current formation
    Engels
    Nygren Hatate/mcgregor

    Callum playing the 6 doesn’t work and the past few years he has did ok against similar ranked teams but gets found out against better opposition , his legs have gone further and I think Engels best position is in there and would give us a bit more than Callum currently is

    Going from quadruple treble winners to one treble out of 4? Being 9 points behind and 6 points behind in the league before a hun meltdown??

    EDIT failing to get us qualified for the champions league in first time in qualifiers.

    Going out of 3 European competitions in one season

    Oh and been the captain in our worst derby run in 15 years…..

    So who’s responsibility is it to set the standards for this club on the football and training pitch?

    As one of our most senior players he's just not commanding enough, not vocal enough. He's been prone to a gaff now and again especially playing out, but they are becoming more brain farts rather than a lack of skill. Near cost us the game today with an absolute howler.

    McGregor I never believed to be a good candidate for captain a great servant for the club, but not a captain and I think he got it due to no other strong candidates. Age and Rodgers tactics have ruined a decent player, not a great one. And the only time he appears vocal is when he's * off about a pass that didn't happen, considering his have dried up.

    Rodgers as successful as he has been here he has played some * against some of the worst Hun teams ever.
    Last seasons champions league campaign could be compared to meadas purple patch, a one off.

    The board. Well they've always been *, but they give Rodgers money last year and look what he bought. We all thought that maybe this was a new dawning, then the following year they tighten the purse strings again because of ok Engels, poor Trusty and * Idah. And if they aren't his players then I would have respected him more to tell them see ya then.

    Rodgers and McGregor will always have my respect but I think they are done.
