    fukking awful !! far too many fannys in the team not prepared to take a hit in a 50 50 unlike broony and Tierney .

    Lustig , replace immediately he,s done
    Gordon saves apart a * nightmare .

    Played decent first half, but we're rattled for long spells second half. When teams push up on us and don't allow us to play out from the back or have easy possession, we struggle badly. Hearts have shown the rest how to play against us now. Dire from us.

    Embarrassing second half.

    Shocking decision to not start Ntcham. Taking Dembele off for Griff was mental considering we were losing the midfield battle and going long.

    Once again the going gets tough in the second half and Armstrong completely * the bed. We need a clear out starting with Gordon and Lustig.

    Made a couple of good saves but David Murray is better than him with the ball at his feet. The guys a nervous wreck and it filters through the defence and the rest of the team.

    That was * apart from 30 mins of the first half where we were very comfortable.
    Armstrong poor
    * poor
    Brown immense
    KT good
    Ntcham should have been on from the start
    They will see that as a 0-0 victory

    Griff when he came on was no better than dembele ,sinclair was our most dangerous player first half so rodgers was right to play him ,ntcham done well when he came on but still didnt score like all the others .

    Brown, Ajer and Gordon pass marks. Lustig and Sinclair were especially awful. Should've been 2-0 up at half time. Ntcham looked quality when he came on, composed and moved the ball well. He should of started

    Poor, poor performance. Absolutely shocking

    However, the huns still couldn't beat us even on our worst day. The unbeaten run had nothing to do with our poor form, we just aren't as good as we think we are. Rodgers got it wrong all round.

    I'm not going to lie, I lost all concentration of watching the game after half time. Such a * performance, I felt the manky mob were more dangerous than us. I was a wee bit dubious about the team selection but I trusted Brendan, we had too many passengers I thought. Armstrong and McGregor both had poor games. Dembélé was useless.

    Ntcham came on too late I think, should've started. Never mind, I'm just glad we didn't lose

    Dembele and Griff were both receiving zero service from midfield..

    Disappointed, as I always am when we don’t skelp those * I’m not concerned about the bigger picture.
    One trophy in the bag, big lead in the league, in the cup & still in Europe after Christmas. That’s some * crisis!

    A point’s a point, but that was grim.

    I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but why the * was Ntcham on the bench? He did more in five minutes than Armstrong and McGregor did the entire match.

    Our squad needs a major revamp in January, there’s far too many players who simply aren’t good enough or are just wandering from game to game not actually contributing anything.

    I don't doubt we'll win the league - but with our extra 20m a yer we should be miles ahead of that dross. How many points will be be ahead next season? Unless something changes I'm dreading the away day.
