Katic would never have put the guy under pressure he was outpaced and got nowhere near him,okay maybe McGregor should have stayed back but would still have been under even greater pressure to save.

Don't see Katic as a long term solution.

Not sure how that's happened but that wasn't me that posted that comment!

Yes--that's my post. 

It's funny how players go from being world-class when they're out, to being sh*te when they play. 

I think Katic has a good future.

I preferred the one where Morelos scored.

 

How much closer would Davis need to be before he considered shooting?

Touche.

If he had shot and missed, or had it saved, would we be moaning at him for not squaring it?

I can't believe that Davis didn't shoot from 6 yards.

Best move of the match.

It is currently: HT Swansea City 2 - 0 Man City.

(Barrie McKay on the bench--could we get him back?)

I'd have to see it again, but I don't think Katic was the main man at fault--although, he's not blameless.

We should use the ones we have too

They've all been injured. 

Middleton should get more minutes, but he's hardly set the heather alight. 

Ach--we'll beat Celtic next week... then lose to Hearts.   

We're short on attacking options. We need additions in the summer--Marquee signings SG said.

No I didn't really get the Davis vibes either to be honest. As you say What the heck was McGregor doing at their goal. Also Goldson should have walked with that tackle at the end.

Why? It's a yellow. He just takes him out; he's not the last man. 

How many times have teams done that to us?

I thought Davis was terrific! 

Okay--he drifted out of the game for spells, but I thought he was at the heart of our best chances. 

McGregor gifted them the goal, but there was a series of brain-farts before it. Saying that, if he stays on his line Katic puts the guy under pressure and gives him a more difficult chance. McGregor coming out gifts him the goal. 

FT, 1-1. 

We huffed and puffed -- I can't fault the effort -- but the quality is lacking; our confidence is so low too. 

I thought Davis was fantastic. Grezda looks to be a good option, if we can get him back fit. 

It was just one moment of complacent stupidity. It happens far too often.

I've been pleased with Grezda's effort. He's not even fit. 

Good counter. 

I don't know how we didn't score there?

That was an absolutely wonderful move. Interplay between Tavernier, Davis, Morelos, plays through Davis who squares it for a tap-in, but there's no one there!?

Grezda doing any better today?

Nah.

He looks like he's trying to make runs in behind, though. 

To be honest, Kent started well but has done nothing; absolutely nothing. Grezda has not done any worse.

Brilliant. I’ve been hoping Kent would be played on the right forna while, Grezda has an ability to cut in and shoot from distance that Kent doesn’t have, he better be eager to prove himself

Sorry @DMAA -- Kent has gone back to wide Left, Grezda wide right. 

Hehehe...

Rolls his man on the edge of the box, and slots it into the near post!

Come on!

MOOOORRREEEELLOOOSSSS!!

Defoe on for Coulibaly. 

Killie are camped out in their 18-yard box. 

We're trying. 

Oh--Coulibaly making a third-man run, after a nice one-two from Davis and Morelos, driving into space but his shot has the sting taken off it. 

60 minutes played and Davis' shot early in the first is about our best attempt. 

Morelos hacked down on the edge of the box. Free-kick, yellow card for Power. 

Coulibaly has been good. 

We've got them hemmed in.  

Grezda has given the ball away twice under no pressure.

He then controls a cross well inside the box and almost get a shot at goal.
