There are many things to sort out with our team and set up. A new goalie is not going to make an ounce of difference to how we are actually playing. -

Agree about midfield. There was literally no one in the actual middle of the park to receive the ball last night. We should be giving McLaughlin options through the centre as teams have rumbled our play it wide from the keeper tactic. Much like Henderson/Fabhino do for Liverpool. Van Dyke and Mario usually spread wide leaving a huge channel for the centre of the pitch for Allison to use as plan B. Our insistence on getting everything down the flanks is our downfall IMO. -

So many things about last night were perplexing. Seeing us with rigid line of 5 across the back whilst we were behind was bizarre. Why didn't Matondo play inside? He was basically playing 10/15 yards in front of Tav on the right side. -

Can we assign that horrible pastiche strip to the same bin as the lilac number? -

I would say that even the Europa League is above our level. Last season we punched well above our weight IMO. -

Let's all calm down. GVB was rightly praised for they way he adapted his tactics on the way to a major European final last season. Tonight he got it wrong but at the same time probably didn't legislate for every outfield player turning in a dire performance. -

He should have saved their first goal tbh but he did ok with what came his way after that. -

Despite the mess that emanated from Belgium tonight, I can see us turning them over if we have a full and vocal Ibrox behind us. They were an ok team but we've played countless teams inbthe last 4 years that were superior to them. -

I'm still trying to work out how we are planning to utilise Colak, Matondo, Lawrence, Tilleman et all to actually create chances? Seeing us with 2 players hugging the right flank with 15 yards between them was baffling to say the least. -

You know its always going to be a bad night when James Tavernier is one of the poorest players on the pitch. He looked so far off it I would have asked for a bloody DNA test after the game. That wasn't our captain out there tonight. -

Kamara will undoubtedly get slaughtered (as they all should) but at least IMO he tried to turn on the ball an create things through the centre. Did it work? Not really but at least he tried. As much I get Lundstrum at the back to accommodate our full backs going forward, Do we really need him as part of a trio of defenders continually playing the ball from side to side? There were so many times in that game when we never actually had a player in the middle of the park. -

Baffled by so many things tonight. How bad our players were. Our lack of creativity. Our tactics. All this against a fairly average side IMO. -

Euro heroes to Euro zeros in a rather sobering 90 mins. Speechless. -

They cannot be blamed. Our tactics ensured they got very little service. -

Sands and Lundstrum into middle? Davies in a back 4? Confused.com -

Are we playing with 5 across the back? -

That's about 10 yards from where he was fouled -

We have 2 players hugging the right touchline. Why? -

We need to give McLaughlin more options than a punt or play it wide to a CB. One of the midfielders has to be open in the middle as there is lots of room. We are totally bypassing the centre of the pitch. -

Every time we play a pass forward, nothing is sticking. -

Big 45 mins. Just make sure we have something to play for at Ibrox.
