    Agree mate, he’s got a good engine but lacks an ounce of Rogic creativity and quality

    would give turnbull a shot

    Kinda how I feel aswell, still an improvement nonetheless but it's still not enough for me to think Lennon is the right man to take us forward but it is something to build on hopefully.

    Much better compared to last week, we look sharper going forward, we are getting the ball forward so much quicker from midfield. Brown has broken up play on numerous occasions and Rogic by far best player on the pitch, 2-0 up is prob what we deserve, should have been 3 with Christie wasting that chance. Thats the positives, the negatives are again in defence, we look to be dealing with them when outside our box but at set pieces and when then get into our box its panic stations. Watt has been left alone several times now, Lang has went on runs without a challenge. What is helping with our set up is that Motherwell are not playing a high press game or closing us down quickly, they are quite happy to give us the ball but play on the counter thats why it is important we dont give stupid balls away like Brown did 10 minutes before half time. Still not overly convinced the formation is working, for all the possession and control we have shown we still havent really created that much. The goals came from 2 individual bits of brilliance and thinking, Christe chance was again brilliant solo run from Rogic. I cant help but think that Lennon is relying on individual performances and bits of magic to get us through games. I want to see more of the same intensity and attitude second half.

    How he is still on set pieces is beyond me, he is woeful with a dead ball.

    There's nothing fine about Motherwell. They're *.

    Anyway, bit better so far.

    He's been decent today for me. His press caused the first goal also..

    That miss was criminal though..

    Been saying it for months now. All Christie has is an engine, he's by far the worst AM we have in every other aspect. He should be told the second he gets the ball, give it to Rogic, McGregor, Turnbull, Ntcham etc. Similar to what Brown does.

    Aye I wasn't overly worried about them..

    We've played quite well but I won't be going overboard over a false dawn like last week..

    Motherwell are poor..

    I'm fully aware I'm at the stage where I over analyse everything he does. :giggle1:
    I am right though, he's brutal.

    Christie has been poor for a long time imo. He is often the guy that loses possiession or keeps the ball too long when a quick release would have got us into a better position.

    Think he has one eye on the PL believing his own hype. He needs to rediscover the form that made him a first team pick.

    I would have a fit Tom Rogic in the team before him everytime.

    They've been on right good form and have played some decent stuff in this match. Been impressed by a few of their players. All credit goes to us so far.

    I dont agree with all of that but Id definitely get him off free kicks. If Griffiths is not playing then Rogic or Moi should be our free kick takers if its within shooting range.

    Entertaining game because Motherwell have rightly given it a go against our defence.

    We have to start the rebuild of confidence somewhere whilst gaining points. This is a start. The team look as though they are more committed, perhaps over compensating and trying too hard when we have multiple players going for the same ball, but the tempo has definitely been raised. Long may it continue.

    Just enjoy the 90 minutes because we don’t know what the next bipolar one will look like :34:

    Harsh today mate..

    He's been spreading it about quite well when coming inside. Taking men off Frimpong to do damage. Caused the first goal with his press. Should've scored..
