    So the fact we have seen very little of them, do you think they are actually very good players and Rodgers is just refusing to play them? Or is it perhaps because they aren’t showing anything in training to merit being picked? I’ve never claimed all the summer arrivals are *. That’s made up pish to try and put words in my mouth. The majority are pish. I’ve never said all. The summer window was a disgrace though. Anyone trying to claim it wasn’t is a * idiot quite frankly. You don’t need a crystal ball to know that.

    If he's a better manager the McInnes then with like for like players he should have no problem beating his team especially at home.
    Are Polworth and Donnelly as Good as O'Reilly and McGregor?
    Are Watkins and Vassell better than Kyogog and Idah?

    Are recruitment has been woeful but there's problem for the way we are struggling.

    We cant have 11 top level players mate. Those are the ones that stand apart. We lost Mooy, Jota and Starfeldt and didnt manage to replace them with like quality but the standards have dropped across the board.

    The fact still stands we have far better quality in our team than any other team in the league. Rodgers should be doing better.

    Hart should of been replaced by now but he has made huge saves in the last few games.

    Ralston is a better player than he gets credit for and for me he has looked better than what Johnstone has shown this season.
    Scales has been a steady regular and Welsh has done okay in what little games he has played. Bernabei is the only one of the four that finished who is really ropey.

    We should be thanking Hart for not being about 8 points behind right now and that’s the truth!!

    Yeah exactly. 7.5m spent and not playing them, what does that tell you? It wasn’t his signings. I’m not on Rodgers side but look at it. Yang and tillio for example they were most defo not his signings either. I’m just saying he was obviously brought back here on false promises. Also he improved a lot of players last time he was here and we all thought he’d do the same this time so no I don’t agree with you saying if they didn’t play on epl he thinks they’re *

    We should be doing better. To be starting games with three players you and I would consider cracking is a joke though, and points to a complete failure in recruitment. The back 4 we had yesterday wouldn’t look out of place at a mid table SPL team. I’m not sure what’s going on with Nawrocki to be fair.

    He is paid to make saves to be fair. He is still guilty of being weak when coming for crosses and choosing to try and play out when it’s clearly not on. He punched one out for a corner yesterday when there was nobody near him. Then played a pass to Welsh that he had to run back towards his own goal to try and get, just putting us under pressure. He is a liability, and has cost us big goals this season. That’s not Hart’s fault though. We all knew last summer he needed replaced. We chose to ignore that. Just as we did with a left back and a holding midfielder.

    That's the only excuse people can come up with to defend him now. Which is utter nonsense.

    We've been outplayed by Kilmarnock, Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen recently for large parts of games.

    Wonder how many of their starting 11 these people would take that would make Brendan Rodgers suddenly start playing some kind of decent football.

    We may be weaker than last season but our squad is still far stronger than the teams we're currently struggling against on a weekly basis.

    He was brought back in part due to his history as a coach who develops players. He's not developing any of them sitting them in the stand.
    He's clearly taken the huff like he did last time and is already getting his excuses in about recruitment not being his responsibility.

    I'm sorry but I refuse to believe either of those 2 cbs, given a run in the team arnt better options than Welsh or Scales.

    He has but I think he looks really poor for their goal yesterday. Far too slow

    Even with CCV and Hatate fit, we would be watching the same turgid * and probably the same results. It's not just the players on the park that are the issue. Tactics, or lack of, have been a massive problem from the start of his time here. As well as not knowing his best 11. Which he still seems to be having trouble deciding.

    I agree with nearly all of that. But two or three of those saves were very good saves so credit where due.

    Caught out by the height mismatch at the back post. The goal was coming, it was obvious we were at 6s and 7s but BR still didnt change the system. The game was screaming out for Iwata to shore us up.
