    Inability to turn on the ball and drive into space costs us big time and means our playing out from the back struggles against a press.

    We need to be thinking about a replacement for next year, someone who is press resistant and can be on the half turn when receiving a pass and not play it straight back from where it came from.

    McGregor was poor first half good second half. Personally he just doesn’t have the quality anymore at this level and his declining burst of speed is hampering him.

    I’m not his biggest fan in Europe but thought he was ok last night. But let’s be honest any one can do the sideways and backwards passing in our midfield if they need to.

    I don’t think we can go into Europe next year with him being a starter though. He’s too nonexistent or giving the ball away for this level. Gets pushed aside fairly easy too.

    watched the first half again just now. It was infuriating how many times he can take the ball on the half turn and drive us up the pitch but doesn't.
    He was brilliant the last 20 mins of the second half from doing just that.
