    Och that's fitba mate and that's the way it's been since it started.

    As long as no * is getting called a black *, or something to that degree it doesn't really bother me THAT much.

    It annoys the life out of me because it’s counter * productive. Doesn’t help the team on the pitch at all.

    Fair enough for major mistakes and that but when the crowds baying for blood because he’s held on to the ball half a second longer than people thought when we’re 3-0 up. * up ya spoilt clowns.

    That's not how I meant it mate, I mean more in terms of style of play than ability. I think we'd be more balanced and threatening if we had an overlapping, pacey fullback on that side as well.

    Managers are wise to the threat on our left, usually double up on KT or Sinclair. Also going back the way Lustig has definitely been targeted by any team with a quick LW.

    Aye it's poison alright. The expectation is mental at times. You know it must be bad when even Tierney is saying if he plays an average game, its a * game to some fans

    He has been in good from recently, but he has been been a frequent passenger and occasional liability this season. We had every right to be unhappy with his performances.

    I really wouldn't mind Gamboa and Ralston leaving and Lustig being a back up right back like Izzy wae KT and new young pacy right back brought in

    Too many fans expecting Youtube highlight reel football, every five minutes of play.

    Seems to have his energy back ,moving better along with the whole team ,when there is a break in the chain everyone has to work so much harder ,like ntcham when he plays i feel our pressing goes to fek ,has great qualities but pressing aint 1 .

    He's not had to defend much in the last 6 domestic games. Love him but I still think his best days are behind him

    He’s had a good few weeks and seems to have stepped up and embraced the captaincy in Broony’s absence, but for me his best days are definitely behind him and it’s a position we absolutely have to improve on in January. I love him, but he’ll only further tarnish his reputation by remaining first choice here.

    As said above, he’d be perfect as a back up as he’s more than capable domestically.

    The only negative tonight. Every other player stepped up to the plate and put in a solid 8 and he had a bit of a stinker defensively. Domestically the last few weeks he has looked back to his best but when we're on the back foot, he's a liability.

    Caught out at least 3 time's second half where they scored 1 of what should've been 3..

    A major major hampering of our side..

    This isn't a slagging. He's came back well but he's so far done against any decent quality and pace it's frightening..

    Time to step back after January big man..

    Totally at fault for the goal and had a couple of misplaced passes that put us into trouble, but I genuinely thought he had a good game.

    I know, I don't understand it either, I can see how daft that looks; but I really do believe it.

    For 60 minutes he was exceptional. His legs always let him down.

    Hate to moan after a good result but he needs to go. Caught out far too often.

    Boyata compensating for Lustigs lack of pace by switching position under attack. Worked in the most but struggles late in big games against a team of this youth and ability.

    Came on to say the same thing. Delighted with that result, well earned and finally a full blooded, solid performance in Europe. But Lustig was out his depth. He should be used domestically as and when but we need a better starting right back. Slow as *, and a serious weakness. We got away with it tonight but he gives me the fear against any half decent attack

    Played fairly well but most of their opportunities came down his side. Needs replacing.
