Hope is a bastard sometimes. Especially in football We are making progress and we've brought in some good players. Another thing to remember is that outwith McGregor, Lafferty and Arfield the average age of our squad is very young

I don't think anyone thought that to be fair. I think people are just venting a bit because despite coming a long way (since last season), we still struggled to make any impact on a dreadful Aberdeen team. The EL run has probably skewed perspective somewhat

Well said. I know I'll feel like this after a good nights kip. I think it's harder to stomach as it feels 2 steps forward then one step back. Thanks for being a voice of reason

I hear you rbr. We're all hurting and probably venting a bit tbh. I think the concern is derived not from today alone but the 3/4 performances of late that have followed a similair pattern. ie a lot of huffing and puffing but very little to show for it. It doesn't seem we are learning from these blips in the road. That is the worry for me

I have to agree. During the game today, I couldn't help but think that if we were playing them we would have got battered.

As much as Morelos being missing didn't help, that had little bearing on the poor decision making and passing by most of the team.

Not been to Hampden in years tbh. Last time I was there was to see Springsteen in 2013? Won't give them the money to watch football in that dump

Our crossing today was shocking.

I really hope Grezda can step up and provide something different as we badly need a player like that. Kent is lively but his decision making and end product are poor IMO. Too many blind alleys for me. Candieas is another that is also full of energy and is a worker but his final pass lets him down. Today's result was a really, really hard one to swallow as Aberdeen were truly rank rotten.

"We got into some good positions and either made the wrong decision or showed a serious lack of quality. If these players don't step up, it's simple at a big club: the manager goes and finds better quality." - SG

Sorry buddy. I didn't think you were serious about Halliday up front ?

Grezda was surely a better option today? Too many aimless high balls to Sadiq IMO. I also hate the fact that we made reactive substitutions as opposed to proactive changes.

Not sure if it's big games. The problems today were repeats of Livingston and Hamilton. A lot of possession but we create very little with it.

I would say it's all over the park tbh. We have decent workmanlike players but really miss that something special. Even Kent (who is getting all the plaudits) flatters to deceive IMO. His shooting and final ball are poor. Well pissed off

Fair enough but to me Katic and Goldson were more solid

Too many of our players make poor decisions on the ball. And I'm still not 100% about Worral tbh. Katic and Goldson looked a partnership to me

Completely pumped? Their keeper made about one save. More diappointed than bewildered tbh

We got what we deserved. Hee haw. Their keeper had feck all to do.

Must have watched a different game. There is no point in playing if you don't create chances. We were awful today. The only up side is we have saved ourselves a hiding in the final

Plenty of possession but their keeper has had nowt to do. Very poor

Tav free kick sums up our quality today

Right. Make the changes now

This has been an awful game of football.

Very, very poor in the final 3rd

Wow wow wow it's Sadiq you know Never believe it's not so... c/o Pilot...(one for the teenagers...) C'mon Rangers!!
