    Ntcham coming on saved us, only midfield player with any composure on the ball. Dembele was quiet but at least was able to hold the ball somewhat when he got it. Every touch Griffiths had lost the ball. Shocking that Armstrong/McGregor wasnt hooked for Ntcham sooner. Barring one stupid decision to leave it go to Gordon in the box Ajer was good, Tierney was fine but not great, same with Boyata. Lustig had a nightmare as did Sinclair. Forrest no end product. Overall a rubbish peformance and big questions need to be asked.

    I think it was a loyalty thing he gave dembele and Armstrong starts as a farewell as they will be away ... why show players loyalty when they are away baffling

    I can only imagine that Ntcham wasn't fully fit, otherwise that was very stupid starting him on the bench. He was the link needed between defence and attack

    That feels like a loss, and that's because most of our players were complacent. There was zero effort from too many players. They can't hide behind the success of last season anymore, too much Deila deadwood have reverted to type. We spent TWENTY * minutes parking the bus in our own half, that is not acceptable. Brendan is starting to get on my nerves with his selections, where's the meritocracy? Griff and Ntchamn should have started. A draw is scant consolation for me, we drew because Rangers are awful and Gordon saved our *.

    * abysmal performance. Too many hiding today. Rodgers picked the wrong team from the start. Dembele should not have started and Ntcham should have started. Only Broony and Ajer performed. Never seen so many balls going backwards. Slow ponderous aimless passing. Need an influx of new signings pronto.

    Ajer and Brown were good. And to be fair to Gordon, he made a couple of vital saves but his distribution was awful.

    Rest of the starting team was horrendous. Lustig was a disgrace.

    Well I'm a wee bit disappointed with that showing today . But let's take the positives from it ; we're still top of the league and we can recharge the batteries in the winter shutdown . We will have fresh options come our next league fixture no doubt . I thought that Shooders was very quiet today , and I thought that Ntcham was worthy of a starting place too . But I have confidence and faith in B.R. to manage us to another league championship . Hail hail !

    game of two halves. we take our 1st half sitters and it was 2 nil and game over. second half we looked tired but we should have won plain and simple . sinclairs sitters especially. however the sheep will beat a depleted jam tarts and be 5 ahead of the deadco.HH.

    That was pish from us we defo need a shake up and fresh legs/ideas u have people boasting about knowing how to combat our tactics, Anderlecht Hearts and now them have shut us down hard and fast and our players look like their lost, we also looked tired for me around the 60th minute something iv not really seen until recently i think a lot of these guys need time off and we need to use players like Kouassi Ntcham Johnston Gamboa a bit more, its a bad result for us but them manky lot over the pond celebrating like they hammered us 5-0 shows how manky and * they have become :D we are not playing well and havent been for weeks but were 11 points above them lot speaks volume for their level IMO, please oh please board get some fresh faces into the club in january.

    They did look as if they wanted it more in the 2nd half, which is a worry..

    We should have won the game in the first, with Forrest and Sinclair missing really good chances..

    Just have a wee bit of perspective tho.. we’ve been amazing we reset and we go on.. and add quality in the window.

    Your right mate
    ,
    Your right mate quite lucky to get a draw, per 2nd half, am stopping aw this 4 and 5-1 pish
    Sinclair s a total shitebag Today, dembele looked uninterested,
    On a plus note thought big Ajer played well, and Ntcham should have started
    Hate to say it but if a was a manky Hun I'd be a bit gutted not to have won
