    Bit of honesty with the fans is highly appreciated. Bit of passion when things aren't going our way. Don't see it that way at all.

    Commons actions are justified, he hasn't went about it in the right way but I couldn't say whether or not I'd do any different.

    All I know is that was a * mental substitution. We needed 2 goals and (with the possible exception of a Bitton long-range effort) he was the only * that looked like scoring.

    That was a very well-taken goal too, he still had a lot to do from that position.

    he cant be the lynchpin joining midfield to attack in the big games as his wee legs and his age means he gets closed down and ran off the ball too easy, he is slow, are you guys not seeing his weaknesses ?

    that was why i supported the manager when he played johansen am

    yeah hes not commons, he hasnt got the same flair, skill, but he's strong, direct and quick and he can run all night closing down he has some engine on him

    commons although good in the scottish league and can score goals, cant play other than striker for us in europe in my opinion and playing there would give us something decent upfront for a change and we can have a better balance in midifeld with gms and armstrong either side of johansen

    Big time. That is way Rogic playing in the 10 position irritates me so much. Commons should be in there all day long.

    Nope not seeing that weakness at all. He's the only guy that can actually do it in our team, he drops into space where we can actually play. It's why he's the only one setting up and consistently scoring in Europe.

    He can't play other than striker? He's never played as a striker in his life except away to Legia when we went down to 10 men. That's an insane idea. Play him his best position, behind the striker.

    Not always been his biggest fan but I'm behind him on this.

    Baffling from Deila. Honestly baffling.

    Commons out of order. He was putting in a below average performance tonight and had no right to react like that to getting subbed. The guy is a liability. Imagine McStay, Collins, Larrson reacting like that?

    Supporters need to get behind him now. Chant his name in the games and stuff. He is going to get dropped out of the squad while Johansen, Deila's BFF is going to keep having anonymous and uninterested games without risking his place in the squad.

    That's why our players don't perform. They know their place in the squad is guaranteed. Ambrose did what he did and look where he is. Same for Izaguirre. Ronny's team selections are rotten and Commons is right.

    That was a bad few minutes. Bad decision to sub him and a bad decision for him to react like that. It's encouraging as it shows he cares but that's not the way or time or to show it

    What was his issue? It can't be to do with getting subbed, because he was absolutely * tonight

    Crazy sub, how Johansen remained on the pitch, even Armstrong as well, ahead of him is ridiculous.

    He was right to react the way he did. Would be a natural reaction coming off and seeing Johansen still on the pitch.

    Commons was the only man on that pitch who looked like scoring for us. Ronny took him off at 3-1. Utterly utterly baffling.

    I actually think Ronny has lost the plot.

    That much is obvious.

    We need to get rid of Deila, Collins and Kennedy and being in a new management team. Then cross our fingers and * pray we qualify for the Champions League next season so we have the funds to build a half decent team.

    I really do know where you are coming from but the team really lacks guile without Commons. It's not like it worked before without him in the side! In fact, it was a lot worse. It's about fitting him in with workers and grafters all around him. For me, Johansen shouldn't be ahead of him either, particularly with his current form.

    I'm always baffled as to why people give James Forrest such a hard time because he's exactly who we need in our side for the reasons you've given above. He and Armstrong on each side of Commons or Johansen for me if we're going with that same old shape.

    Griffiths being our top striker has been another major flaw in our approach but hopefully Cole will fix that if he stays fit and healthy.
