    Defo want to see more of Ralston, there's no doubt Lustig has been roasted for pace regularly this season..

    He's still an important member of our squad tho..

    Don't think he is finished but our style of play doesn't suit him

    It suited him for 69 domestic games without defeat.

    Why buy any new players who actually suit the style as everybody we have is part of that 69. We Should also forget about Europe?

    The style of play also doesn't suit Gordon, should we also keep him?

    Out of the back 4 he's the least worst of the lot of them.

    He's our best right back, and that's that.

    I don't like him too much at CH but we may be best using him there with the other 2 bomb scares.

    Gordon is regularly *, particularly in Europe and clearly isn’t a good enough footballer to suit Rodgers style of playing out from the back.

    He bought DDV to replace him, what indication has he given that Lustig doesn’t fit his style?

    Sorry mate for me Lustig is on par with Gordon. Brendan likes his full back to bomb on, please tell me the last time Lustig done this. He can't because he gets totally caught out for pace. Wee Forrest has to do double the work of Sinclair to help him out. His signature for an attacking team is sprint to the halfway line turn back & lay it off?

    He just scored 2 against Hibs at Hampden a matter of weeks ago. If you’re going to criticise him then deal in facts.

    Over reaction here. A few need to have a look at themselves.

    Guy has a great attitude and a great servant to the team. Always gives 100%. Nobody wants the team to win as much as lustig and it wasnt so long ago he was being idolised.

    The team is going through a slump but lustig will be at the forefront when they return to winning ways.

    When people praise lustig now. They dont mention a single tangible strength. Hes in decline. Some are just more willing to accept it than others at this point

    Attitude, giving 100% and wanting to win isn't really enough though if your form has been average at best recently. On current form he should be dropped and either Gamboa or Ralston given an opportunity.

    Under instructions to sit and go in to a 3 when KT bombs on and we have the ball. That's why he isn't as attacking. Apart from today we've generally been playing that way by and large for month's..

    Aye they do but 2 goals from corners doesnt slight trackebhoys point when he was talking about him bombing forward and his contribution to open play

    Ralston is slow as * as well.

    Unleash Gamboa.

    I think attacking wise BR has asked Lustig to stay deeper and form a back 3 as KT pushes forward.. it's been clear we've been going from 4-2-3-1 to 3-4-2-1 during games.. when he gets in forward areas his delivery is pretty good..

    He still anticipates the play very well..

    BR rates Ralston very highly and with Gamboa on the books I don't see us improving this area in Jan..

    If Brendan Rodgers wanted both his full backs to bomb on they would. Lustig brings balance, leadership and experience to the entire squad.

    There’s more to a full back than having pace, particularly one that’s filled in numerous times at centre half or right of a 3.

    He isn't that slow..

    Isn't as quick as KT but much quicker than Lustig. Quite a strong runner..

    Gamboa is finished here ralston is injured ,and if not would be ahead of gamboa now ,probably not good with instructions or carrying them out as requested imo ,otherwise he would play more often .
