    Whilst I agree he should be criticised, I think how bad they are is overplayed.

    They've shown in the Derby games this season they can compete with us. It's stupid losses domestically.

    Genuinely don't think the gap is as big as our fans suggest. We aren't decades ahead as I've seen many suggest that's just mad to even think.

    We lost the league by 20 odd points then won it next season. We should know how quickly things change.

    The question begs to be asked. If AJ is dropping a monumental stinker, why not just sub Ralston on?

    Rodgers is a phony, think next season We need a new manager who is ruthless and will set the team out to go all guns blazing, Rodgers doesn't have that, his third season is always his worst in football and if the huns get their * together Rodgers will not last next season.

    The last game they lost to the huns he spouted “they stole our game”. What’s his excuse for that shitshow today?

    9 goals conceded in 3 games against one of the worst Hun teams going, with two different management teams. Two lost, one won on penalties.

    It’s not just Kuhn not performing today mate - and the fact they’re not performing across the board is because of the manager.

    The effort just isn’t there. When it’s there, we come out motivated and hammer them. When it’s not, we keep putting in these performances.

    Maybe he’s not got wandering eyes (again), but the effort is simply not there. It could just be raw arrogance.

    Set us up playing Maeda up top essentially against a back 3.

    "Elite" manager my hole....

    Honestly mental some of the takes you see on here after a loss.

    We beat them when it matters. They beat us twice this season and neither of them counted for anything. The Ibrox game we already had the league wrapped up, same today. The two games we played them when it mattered we beat them 3-0 and won on penalties in the cup.

    I am gutted losing that today but they’re still serial losers and Brendan is still relentlessly untouchable with his dominance of Scottish football.

    They’ve beaten us 3 times in the last couple of years.. none of them counted for anything. Let them fist pump the crowd and celebrate dead rubber wins and 3-3 draws. We’ll celebrate in May.

    Squad nowhere near strong enough.

    A couple of injuries and we had next to * all on the bench. Who else could BR bring on?

    There are those though who were delighted with the Jan window.

    Injuries and loss of form happen and with us playing 60 odd games it's to be expected.

    Ange's setup has been exposed as mediocre at best at a standard any higher than our league.

    Sorry lad, but even the THOUGHT of anyone suggesting a loss to THEM counts for "nothing" is a disgusting attitude.

    Can't use that excuse to justify how * poor we are against them.

    Every game against them matters, especially at home. They have a * dunce in the dugout and just played 120 odd minutes of football a few days ago. We've had a week off to get ready for them coming and he get's tactically outdone, again. It's shambolic.

    He's just lucky they did have that midweek game or it could have been even worse.

    Stopping the ping-pong passing in and around our own box for a start. We can't do it under pressure, we gain nothing from it and it gives sevco confidence. Move the ball quicker and more accurately to beat the midfield press too. Sevco constantly committed 4/5 players to 2 of ours which meant, had we broke that press, there was open space and free Celtic players to move into. We took too long though and for the most part either lost possession or passed backwards. The other thing he could do is not fill the squad with players who are weaker than an old lady's p**s, although that will take much longer to remedy. If he intends to remedy it at all.

    He needs to sort that midfield. It’s non-existent in so many big games.

    When they actually work and do something teams collapse and we score, but for 60-70 minutes of a game our midfield hides and we just go wide or chip it forward for Daizen to chase.

    Every game against them matters.

    Doesn’t matter if we’re 30 points clear with 2 games left in the league.

    There’s absolutely no justifying our last 3 performances against them. Saying the last two are dead rubbers is just a * easy excuse that buries your hand in the sand and pretends there’s nothing to worry about.

    It’s not just the results. It’s the performances.

    Brendan the "elite" manager, completely out-tacticed AT HOME by a failed Clyde manager.

    Congratulations...

    Yeah I just think a few results here and there can change things. Last season us dominating them won us the league, they did better against the dross. It won't take much to improve their team to not lose at home constantly
