    Always needed more than 1 window to fix this. But at 0-0 we looked the better team for parts. Heads dropped big time and cant complete basics passes

    Had a few good games and people thought he was the next big thing. He’s miles away.

    It's fine if you play with the players capable of carrying out, which we don't right now, so why is he insistant on it? It's baffling!! It's note than that, it's infuriating! We have players to win games like this in the right circumstances but Anges insistance on this tactic is suicide

    Of course it is, we were still fodder though.

    I have no expectations going into any European season since Rodgers' second year. He also disappointed. We should have done better under him then. We should have beaten Copenhagen under Lennon too. We've had favourable groups and draws in recent years to do better. We wasted our opportunities in the past with far better squads and European experience.

    We are miles off competing in Europe for years unless we revamp and demolish our current "systems". Ange is trying to get us to play the right way, but is doing it with an atrocious squad who are lacking the right mentality and adequate skill.

    I can't look at Lennon, he played his part putting us in this position with a weak squad

    Ralston had moved into central midfield when Leverkusen scored the second goal. When we lost possesion they took advantage of that. That cannot be blamed on Ralston he is exactly where Ange wants him to be, the full backs are instructed to cut inside into the midfield area. * knows whether these tactics are going to work once Ange stamps his mark on the team but at the moment its costing us goals.

    Think Ralston overplays this “inverted fullback” role. He is always in the middle of the pitch too often. Especially when we are very deep in our half defending.

    Another thing I'll say, the speed at which Kyogo presses compared to Rogoc and Turnbull is absolutely night and day. We need legs in there, 100%.

    Yeah but you aren't getting anywhere with it, they hired this manager, that is also yet another mistake they made, this guy isn't up to the job!

    Before anyone says "The board didn't back him and get the players he needed", the guy would need * 30 players to play the way he wants to and then he needs all * 30 to play exactly the same system week in and week out, I mean inverted wing backs aren't falling off trees.

    We could have gotten a manager from Scotland that would have made us hard to beat, sure it wouldn't have been attacking football to begin with but we would have won more games while the rebuild was going, this is just suicidal football!

    He’s hanging the players out to dry by persisting with the same system that they are not capable of playing

    You could play them in any system they'd still lack basic football ability. like they did last year in an entirely different system.

    He was actually decent before that mistake but again, big game moment and he's * us..

    Done it Sunday when we'd just scored and we drop 2 point's and tonight his mistake has just rubber stamped our result..

    The board surely must act now and put an end to this farce.

    He's fine against bottom half and SPFL teams but anything remotely challenging just highlights how limited he actually is.

    Hope to * we're not working on a contract extension with him.

    Game going as we more or less expected. Used to love having a beer watching the midweek games. Last season I was not enjoying the drink when we were getting shafted. So I have a drink the night before now.
