I've been moaning about GvB and our domestic form since he took over, yet we still manage to do well in Europe. 

 

I don't think we can make any assumptions about how Europe will go based on one game. 

we can rest players for European games now.

We have something of an opportunity here to reinvent ourselves. We will come second but 1st looks beyond us. We clearly cant buy our way out of trouble like years gone past. 

 

We can use Lowrie,  McCrorie.  McCann, Tilman in his proper position. even Devine, Yilmaz or Matondo etc and concentrate on cups while getting players up to speed in the league. 

 

Mostly what we need to do is decide how we want to play and implement it. Doesn't have to be like celtc but certainly has to be more dynamic. 

 

Gio should be told to go and implement that. If he can't someone who can should be found. 

Never gonna happen. We (fans) are too impatient and we'd throw the kids under the bus. 

 

As usual with us, we look at ways to improve ourselves in retrospect. The time to have done this was back in 2013 onwards when we were playing in lower leagues and we would be reaping the rewards now. 

 

Instead Super Ally and the board singed greats like Ian Black, Jon Daly, Richard Foster (Christ the list is endlessd)

This game was where we always going to find out about this squad (and theirs)

 

We took the sore one in Feburary, solutions had to be found.

They appear further away or the gap appears greater.

We give kids far more leeway than older players.

We can assume that the managers and coacxhes of Ajax, Liverpool, and Napoli will be studying, and studying, that mismatch, and planning accordingly.

It isn't winning the League and that is what matters above all.

 

It might win a Cup, who knows.

 

I can't see us finishing anywhere but bottom of our CL group, It is another level. 

Although I'd give us a better chance of finishing third in CLGp., than winning the league.

Agreed, but the big question is how can we go to places like Dortmund, Porto, Braga, Eindhoven and get fantastic results and performances, but can't do it at Dingwal, Paisley, Aberdeen and Parkead? 

 

55 apart, been same story since we got promoted to SPFL. Only difference under SG and Gio is our phenomenal progress in Europe.

Agreed. If we can't bring in better quality, then we need to see if it exists within, that means we give Lowry (when back from injury), McCann et al a proper run of games. The league is gone already and there's no fear of coming third, so if we want a proper player trading model then let's execute it properly and take a leaf out of Ajax's book. Only then might we take some positives from this season.

They may also study us dismantling Dortumd on their own patch, or us dispatching other European teams at Ibrox.

Barasic? He was our one shining light; we didn't take advantage of his deliveries.

He's already stated that he's unhappy here.  We also bought a replacement.
