    Decent first half with a few bomb scares. Terrible defending for their goal but thought the penalty was class. Ball through the middle to Kyogo is not working. Bit tighter in the second half and we can take something from this.

    Keeper surely lucky that wasn’t a red, could’ve been done with assault and the ball about 20 yards away, thank * Kyogo is alright

    Well done lads, looked like it could have been one way traffic all night but deserve to be level at half time. Need to come out with a better attitude than we started off with, too slow to get into the game.

    Agree with everyone giving Mcgregor pelters. He has been so slack tonight. He has been off it for a while now. Runs about looking busy, but but often passing back and sideways.

    Still love Callum as a player, but he needs to up it. Still wish we had a tougher captain as well. Don't rate him as captain.

    We're in this, but it's painfully obvious we haven't got the tools for a possession football approach against good teams.

    Jota getting at Wee Frimpong is the best route. He got done a few times in Europe in the Hoops. Definitely far better attacking than defending.

    Turnbull is too slow man. Plays like a 35 year old winding down his career.

    Any Celtic keeper does that and he's getting his marching orders. Shocking that he's still on the park after that.

    Thought we kept our cool after their goal and have showed real patience and composure all round. they've still managed to get into our box a fair few times but thankfully not been as clinical as at parkhead.

    So refreshing to see us playing our normal game out on the continent against top opposition, hats off to Ange for getting the players to believe they can go toe to toe with this level of opponent.

    TBF I think we have seen plenty of the ball and encouraging signs away in Europe.

    Lucky to be going in level , there is a lot more to come from the Germans. We are losing the midfield with Bitton being the biggest problem, too often he is caught out of position., and jogged back when they got the corner that lead to their goal. Jota needs to do a bit more defensively to help Juranovic , McGregor is getting drawn right across leaving a massive hole in the middle, if McGregor stays there Frimpong gets to play one two's down the left

    Working just now so have the game on stream with volume down. Heard groans outside so thought Juranovic had missed the pen.

    Must have been huns groaning :giggle1:

    Only positive is we're not losing. Passing is abysmal and we keep putting ourselves in danger through bad decision making. I like Cal Mac but he has been awful tonight and Forrest is at his most irritatingly gutless. We played far better at CP against this lot and got scudded. Funny old game.

    Imo Leverkusen just fannying about with us. We haven't really worked them. We need to be much sharper and quicker for the next 45 minutes.

    If McGregor gets the 2 through balls right we're 1 on 1 with the keeper both times. Playing well and getting a some luck for a change. Need more of the same with a bit more cutting edge
