    Game is so very open. Abildgaard needs to be super disciplined in the middle and not get caught pushing up (which he has been). We look like we will create chances but things not going our way.

    Hart playing well and Taylor are our two best players so far. Not a great few days for McGregor, his slip cost us a goal and possibly an injury.

    Game still there for us. Need more from Jota out wide.

    Get GG on for Kyogo. We need strikers who can put away the few chances we get.

    De Ja Vu. Every time they get the ball our entire midfield is not goalside when their midfield gets the ball. Jota and Maeda and the fullbacks are all drawn to the opposite side every time they have the ball on one side, allowing their winger/fullback a completely free bit of the park to receive the ball.

    I call this Anti-defence. It's like we are pulling down our own knickers and lying back legs akimbo. I can barely get over how bad our entire team is at basic defending.

    And to add to that - we are powderpuff. Too many wee guys outfought, outran and outmuscled. See it all the time in Europe.

    And remember guys this is anges first ever time in champions league so he is learning also. We will make mistakes as will ange but we get behind them and support them thru thick n thin. We have had 2 bad matches maybe 3 this season but it takes time for ange to learn about europe how he wants us to play in Europe and so on. He will learn game by game so will need some time

    Only caught last 10 mins, but we sounded OK on radio, stats have us with better chances.

    We are too weak in front of goal, we started season off well but it's been setting in for a while and seems to be continuing.

    Big abilgaard has looked OK till he passes.

    Mcgregor was horrendous for goal.

    Would snap that nkunu, * thinking he's Messi, mightve known he'd turn up after looking absolute pish against the huns last year. Fkn *.

    Aye defensively anyways, but going forward he should be taking the ball, committing players, going past them, whipping in good crosses, testing the keeper. But has done none of it, over 3 games.


    Get Jackie on for Kyogo, kyogo is never scoring here.

    Really hope nothing too serious with CalMac.. he won't be playing this weekend because of the red v Motherwell, but would want him back for next week, if he is good to go... fingers crossed, not too serious. Please

    I'm all for going for it and our style of play is to be applauded but * me man..

    Realise where we're at away from home against good side's and shore up that midfield a bit..

    It's wide open so often and their waltzing through us at every attack..

    McGregor sold it for the goal. * the 50/50 now disastrous if he's out for any length of time
    Jota's been stinking the place out. Took him over half hour to go at his man for the only time of the half. The rest he's been bullied off it with ease
    Jenz has given it away too much and lucky on another day VAR sends him off for that studs challenge

    We don't take our chances when in the ascendancy. Need a big half but don't look like we can keep these out whatsoever second half..

    aye its high risk

    dont know wether to blame abillgard for that pass forward or the receiving player, surely the receiver knows and sees were extremely vulnerable if they win that ball ?

    All the people saying we cant compete at this level... we went toe to toe with Real Madrid for 65 mins and then admittedly conceded and crumbled, but we were all over Shaktar the full 90 and should have won.

    We are playing poorly by our standards tonight but have been on a bad run of form. I wouldnt say we cant compete at this level.

    Another Honking performance & not taking our chances when they come it’s beginning to become a pattern. Would bring on Haska as I think he would offer us more cutting in from the wing this mob ain’t the greatest and we are making them look the part

    Our wingers have hardly been in the game. Maeda has been doing a decent job at tracking back which is probably the reason he started. Hardly seen Jota at all Kyogo has been too wasteful especially that shot where he had a lot of time. Think if Hatate had a bit of composure he could have scored a simple goal when their keeper got injured. Not been a great watch, we look so poor at the back that every time Leipzig come forward they look like scoring.

    Not many other options on the bench to really change it as this point. Maybe just start with Jota and Maeda swapping wings

    The amount of chances we've created and not taken is infuriating.

    Leipzig allowed too much space and just passing round our midfield if not hitting it long need a better performance in the 2nd half seems very disjointed at the moment
