    Id say im annoyed but I'm not surprised. We go from the game against Aberdeen showing real fight and desire to a flat, lifeless 1st half like that. Just cos it's Morton I suspect they feel they can play a few gears down...doesnt work like that lads.

    Dreadful first half. Not much more to be said.

    Far too slow, Roberts or Musonda on for Sinclair. So much space out wide yet we just overload the middle of the pitch, need to stretch them.

    Roberts in for Sinclair. Or maybe get Johnston in, if he's on the bench?

    Home matches have been tragic for the most part this season.

    Rodgers spoke about tempo and pressing etc beforehand and clearly the players aren’t carrying out his instructions.

    This surely can’t be the team for next week.

    Sinclair is horrific and ntcham is too similar to brown in that he doesn’t get beyond to help the striker like Armstrong does.

    The lack of energy is a real worry.

    How can we as fans expect to go out in this weather and be served up that crap? No wonder I gave my tickets away today. What's been on show this year is simply NOT good enough. We need serious change in style of play. This is Rodgers all over again like what he did at Liverpool before he left

    poor half , not playing quick enough Morton happy to put 10 men in thier 6 yard box and we struggle to shoot through and run out of ideas.. If we score they'll have to open up.

    Only Forrest doing something take Sinclair off he's been hopeless.

    Not really good enough so far. I know Morton are set up to frustrate, but we're not really making them work hard enough. They're just setting up fairly narrow and inviting us down the centre of the park where they can defend in numbers.

    KT is being shown inside every time and is pretty much having to pass backwards or force a cross. Forrest has to stay right out on the touchline. It either means we can switch the play quickly, or Morton have to send someone wider to keep an eye on him, which opens a space for Rogic to drift into and get turned.

    We need to quicken the tempo of the passing. Get some little one-twos going and really try and drag them around as much as possible until they break. Instead, we're passing it around slowly and hoping we can bore them into a lapse in concentration.

    We can't keep playing like this.

    Disappointed but not surprised. We've been like this all season, other than a few games here and there.

    Nowhere near good enough and Rodgers has had plenty of time to sort this out. * knows why he hasn't.

    Bereft of any ideas to break down at best a stuffy defence. In fairness only saw about 25 mins. That was hard.

    I see no issues with Tierney's delivery- it gets to its intended man. We couldn't even get that, when Ntcham or Sinclair were taking set pieces.
    Mind you, Roberts has a great corner on him- I do remember that.

    Not made it tough mate, we just like to * about like we are Barcelona without any real attack, low risk football, would rather pass it back than to make a forward pass that might fail, our other attack options is put it out wide let Forrest cut inside maybe shoot or lay it off, rinse and repeat. Same old dross all season and it's no wonder teams have figured us out.
