    Sinclair and Dembele were by far our best players this time last year, now both look like different players.

    Boyata and Lustig are unbelievably pish under any pressure. Ajer is currently our only good centre half (possibly Compper as well)

    McGregor is far too weak for these tight games.

    Ntcham was a diamond in the rough today. Lad looks quality and we need more like him

    Totally agree.

    If we are to progress as a club the likes of Gordon, Lustig, McGregor etc should be replaced.

    Not a major overhaul. A few new faces to kickstart the team with some competition would do. This IS a great bunch if players. Anyone denying that is crazy. But a kick up the hole is needed.Some players are happy to be passengers and nothing is being done to correct that. A reshuffle in January and we can be back to our best

    Major overhaul? Lets not panic, we were pish today but we still didn't lose.

    2-3 additions and a few kicks up the * of players we know can do better.

    We don't help ourselves by not playing our strongest 11 on days like today.

    Wouldn't say major, but Rodgers has been given * all to spend. Two big signings in January, please.

    Brendan just claimed it could be a revolving door in January...

    Good news at least

    Major overhaul? Naw. Two or three changes at most and a good rest will do and we’ll be set up for the second half of the season.

    Rogic is a huge miss. Armstrong and McGregor aren't suited to the number 10 position. There are no Moravciks or Nakamuras who can create magic to win games.

    Hopefully the defence will be sorted with the German coming in for Boyata.

    I'm more than happy with Gordon. Outstanding.

    Keep Broony and KT, the rest are replaceable and can leave if they want imo!

    Would like a few new signings, it is worrying how teams seem to have found out how to play against us. Half of the issue this season is our play not being as good as last year but the other half of the issue is teams have sussed how to frustrate us. Definitely need freshening up

    The fact that only 3 players who featured today (2 that started and only 1 finished the game) who were Rodgers signings says a lot. The board were lucky that Brendan was able to work miracles with the squad he inherited last season but to progress we need to back him with his own players.

    Investment is essential unless we want to plateau or stagnate.
