    Agreed. Ralston if anything, was even more to blame by passing the ball back (twice) to Gordon in a tight situation and putting him under pressure, and then playing McLean onside, all down to inexperience and maybe a bit of stage fright.

    We should be focusing more on the 31 shots at goal, and only one of them converted, though I believe Alan Mannus in goal played out of his skin ( 35 yrs old too).

    Our shooting was poor yesterday as well. No doubt about it.

    I don't know what ones were registered but I remember at least 10 where the shot was from about 25 yards because we had run out of ideas. I don't think Mannus pulled off that many point blank saves to be honest. Certainly in the first half he wasn't that busy.

    Still personally believe he's a weak link particularly in Europe but Rodgers has to take a fair portion of the dairy, it's his instructions to have his keeper playing passes. Which in itself is fine if your keeper is comfortable doing it, Gordon has got better but it still looks extremely awkward at times.

    That's because we don't have a playmaker in the team that can put his foot on the ball and direct the flow of play.
    Rogic yesterday man marked out the game by Paton, and Forrest and Ralston down the right were both dross, in effect no right wing.St Johnstone done their homework on us and hunted us down in pairs.

    I'll probably get horse whipped for it, but we are crying out loud for someone like Scott Allan in the middle of the park.
    Nitcham and Brown are too similar in play and style.

    I think at times we over egg it at the back, a few passes too many when we should be looking to move the ball forward, when the opposition press high up the park it can make it difficult to play intricate passing out of defense.

    Fucksakes Doc..

    Ntcham and Brown are nothing like each other in play and style..

    Ntcham could maybe do with doing his work a little further up the park tho, but that will come. He looked * yesterday..

    Nitcham has looked * since he's got here. Could do with shedding some weight as he is giving Kris Commons a run for his money.

    Yes. That is exactly what Im saying. Unless you want to needlessly spend a few million that is. I can think of a few other positions to worry about first... Jeezo!!

    So being muscular is carrying weight?

    You are conveniently forgetting I am a doctor. He is young. He should be able to play two games a week , fifty two weeks a year. This is * bullshit.He needs to shed weight.

    Do you schedule doing a 18 hour flight there and back into him being exhausted?

    Do you think BR would play him if he was overweight?
