    I dont think we can be carrying any players in these games if they are not 100% match sharp and fit.There were two if not three who who seemed less than 100%.Continuing to play Brown while he's injured is no longer working and would be better trying to find a way to sort out his problems before he plays agian;

    I'm not picky.
    The bottom line of it all is that even though we never played our best tonight, we are guaranteed European football after Christmas no matter what. Will be amazing if we can beat Moscow in two weeks time to make it through to the last 16 of the Champions League (and as long as Barcelona don't lose against Benfica), but even if we don't make that, we'll be in the Europa League.

    Whatever happens we can take away the performances and wins against Barcelona and Moscow and hold our heads up high and be proud of the team.

    That's just Glasgow chat.

    I don't think you're out of order, but the use of the word sounds a lot worse than it's intended to.

    Not a good night for us.

    Not only were we not good every single bounce or ricochet landed kindly for a Benfica player.

    Too many players were off the pace and we were simply beaten by the better team on the night.

    No excuses, but role on next game.

    We will do it.

    Benfica were a class above us tonight. Half their team could use both feet perfectly with skill to match. We could of pushed them a bit more but they deserved their win.

    These are not two different points.

    Every ball landed better for them because they worked harder, due to them having a team of fit players.

    Thought Ambrose was a bit wayward with a lot of his headers!

    I noticed that too, none of our players could clear the ball properly all night.

    Yep. It was far from just Ambrose. Our ball control was atrocious tbh.

    The better team on the night won.

    Many reasons for us losing, believe it or not but Rod Stewart isn't one of them.

    We basically got what we deserved I don't think watt should have been benched for a clearly unfit hooper, and brown should have had his op 6 month ago! I have the hip impingement ting he's dement struggling with and I'm waiting for y op, .keyhole if poss takes 3 mth to recover open surgery takes 6 month at least for a 50/50 tackle to be poss. The more he plays cartlige is off ski bringing arthritis in its place. We should take Spartac but it should have went better tonight. Too much respect was giving

    That was the worst I've seen us play in Europe this season.

    Scoreline flattered us.
