    The penalty was a Carven copy of the one we got against Bratislava and we were not complaining then. It's harsh to nit pick at his performance. Whole team was awful including the managers tactics.

    Expected better from him, Bernardo and Kuhn. They all completely shat the bed.

    Think the reason he never got hooked is because Brendan must have stood in that board room fighting for the fees to buy Engels for these very nights. If he subs him off at half time or any time he looks a total fool in their eyes I bet his thinking is. Otherwise I can’t understand why he wouldn’t have subbed him

    He has played at a higher level for the last 2 seasons than nearly most of our squad. Literally played in the bundesliga

    Was the complete opposite to everything we have seen so far, letting players just cruise past him was so strange.

    Showed his inexperience last night along with several others at that level, they all ended up playing scared and not their own game.

    Would like to see him in the sitting role for Europe, that is supposedly his best position.

    Our tactics allowed our midfield to be swarmed and overun..

    He's shown his class already and we'll need him if we want to progress in the tournament..

    But, aye expected more from him, knew it wasn't looking good when his first corner failed to beat the first man.

    The tactics deserve criticism, and individual performances certainly played a part in the culmination of last night's disaster, and many other facets.

    This laddie better wake up and smell das Caffeine and realise he's not in Kansas anymore...

    He was mince. Albeit not helped by his massively experienced captain putting in another shocker of a performance in the CL.

    Yeah, blame Calmac mate - not like he wasn't helped by the fact TWO of his midfield partners, well 3 actually if you count Hatate clambering about anaw - not one of them offering Cal any support whatsoever.

    He was easily top in distance covered stats, just not covering the right places.
    Still learning, but yes disappointing along with almost everyone.
    Hattate was decent (relative to rest) when he came on

    They all deserve blame. But I’m bored of seeing constant defending of McGregor every time we have a duff result.

    Some people just find any excuse to let him away with stinking performances. It’s always that he was let down by everyone else. Utter pish.

    McGregor has been found wanting far too many times at this level.

    Nah, not "utter pish" whatsoever. Was Calmac anywhere near good enough? No.

    Was he helped in any way by two of the most invisible performances I've ever seen from two of our 3 central midfielders? Absolutely not.

    Tell ye what, at least Cal never hid unlike those other two shitebags.

    We can't be turning on all the players. They were all left exposed by the way they were told to play.

    It's been a good season so far with great momentum. For whatever reason - perhaps it's been too easy - we decided self-sabotage was the order of the day last night.

    It was an unprofessional approach from the management team. The players have limits and if they are asked to play like this against these teams the result will be the same every time.

    Fair way to go for the boy. Big talent but nowhere near it last night.

    Better players and better teams will * themselves and lose at that ground. Great experience for them all. We'll improve.
