    Can't be a worse 2nd half.

    Another very worrying half of football.

    - Slow
    - Weak
    - Poor passing
    - No creativity
    - No patterns of play
    - Suspect at the back

    New manager etc. but some of our performances so far have been eye bleeding.

    Watching Maeda and Abada in the Champions League is going to be some laugh.

    Two competition winners.

    A half to forget on a brutal pitch..

    But, we need to move the ball a whole lot quicker.

    Killie obviously well drilled but they are aided and abetted no end by that pitch. It really is a disgrace.

    We look very disorganized not just this game either, we really need to get it together quickly

    For all the talk of how bad the huns are, we don't look up to much ourselves. Boring side to side pish at the back then humf it forward and lose possession. Badly need some quality added to our squad.

    Poor from us. Too flat, not enough urgency going forward with very little movement off the ball. A bit reminiscent of Rodgers last season with us last time round. We need to step it up

    Uninspiring to say the least (we've been *)
    I'll get crucified for this and maybe it's just nerves and no options showing for the ball but I'm not impressed with Gustaf so far.
    Ref been hopeless too, they've had a couple cynical or late ones that you know we would have been booked for.
    Kyogo should have scored after a minute and things might have been different but a bit of work to do here.

    Im glad i have to work and miss the 2nd half, half empty ground,* scabby * pitch and hammer throwers on it and we are rather poor.
    Taylor getting bossed and Maeda:31:.

    What a advert for scottish football.

    So one-paced and non-threatening.

    Get Turnbull on, need someone who can pick out a pass and split their defence and at least offer the threat of a shot from range. This 'death by a thousand passes' isn't working.

    Maeda and Abada both thoroughly unimpressive so far too -- can be said for most of the team today.

    Yang on relatively soon into the second half to offer some direct running and up the tempo.

    Not been a good first half, still think we’ll win this 2/3-0 though.

    Well that wasn't very good.

    Get Yang on for Abada. He's been anonymous

    They’re useful players. Just not suited to this game on that pitch.

    Maeda especially, who it’s clear is much better through the middle.

    That there was rank * rotten. One of the main reasons I gave up my s/t at the end of brendans second season. His football style is absolutely awfull. That constant back passing. * is that actually meant to be.
