    At one point he just ran the ball out of play then fell on his *, also he got himself mixed up and dithered on the ball when there was nobody anywhere near him, it was like Carry on Defending lol, i do feel a bit sorry for the guy tbh.

    Aye that second one was shocking from him but naecunt was moving, which is a problem we have with defenders taking the ball out.

    Rodgers gave the midfield a pure rocket, every time he got the ball after that, Broony made sure to move into space to collect.

    That’s something we should always be doing, especially when we know our defence is shaky as it is.

    Yeah that's a good point, there should always be options, players making themselves available for the ball.

    I though at times we moved the ball too slowly today, i think we're at our best when we play with that intensity that Brendan always talks about.

    Another thing we really need to try and improve upon is the slow/slack passing around our own penalty area, i know the manager likes to build from the back but it gives me the fear, you're just waiting on one slack pass, we've seen this a number of times, would prefer it if the GK goes long if the opposition adopt the high press.

    A think we’re playing with a bit of fear, we rarely get that more creative pas where we get the ball in behind they’re midfield or defence.

    Sometimes we rely too much on the defence to play and it’s passing the buck a bit.

    I was going to mention this earlier but wasn’t sure how to word it without sounding like I was Jack Hendry himself.

    There are too many times when our CBs are on the ball, look up, and there isn’t a pass on. So they end up passing back to the other CB. I get teams are sitting and have us well marked, but sometimes I think we don’t give our defenders enough options.

    In saying that the side to side * does eventually draw the opponent out and we can start an attack.

    He not only not good enough he's nowhere near physical enough. I think what would someone like John hartson do to a guy like Hendry I don't know where we go with him bcoz I always think guys can improve but I just don't see with him and I'm not convinced Ajer is a centre half either.

    Do people think Hendry is trying his best when he pulls the shirt on?

    He dwells on the ball far far too much, just play it to the midfield re-receive and circulate.. and he can’t defend..

    He looked weak against a very poor Thistle side, I hate to say but he may never be good enough.

    @Marty McFly what was the consensus on him from your neck of the woods.

    Of course he is, yeah, imo.

    Think there is a big part of him really afraid to * up though, but also a big part of him that thinks he can stroll it sometimes.

    Not the best combination.

    Aye, and see after t it was so simple what Broony was doing, he moved forward three yards or so onto a player, then moved further up the pitch when they went to press. Always abailable for the forward pass.

    No. Anyone could have made more effort than he did for their goal.

    For me he holds onto the ball to long, make the simple pass to the midfield then think about defending if they lose the ball.

    The one today were he went round in circles lost the ball & won it back. When he first got the ball there was a pass on to Ntcham on the left, who wasn't marked but he opted not to pass the ball to him. I think the boy is trying to hard to please Rodgers & making mistakes in the process.

    I never seen much of him at Dundee except against us, was he a ball playing CB?

    Unfortunately mate, you don’t get the most objective information from Dundee fans. They are revelling in the fact he isn’t doing well. They thought he was really good tbh, and pretty much that Dundee was his level, raised eyebrows when we got him.

    Then it's not his fault if he got brought here & played. If he's giving his best that's all he can do, others are at fault for putting him in that position.

    I missed today's game. Boyata couldn't have made more effort.

    Still, he is going to get the criticism, just as BR has had for his failure to sort the defence in 5 windows.
