    From the performances on the pitch to the complete lack of activity in the boardroom this season has been a massive disappointment so far.

    Second string I was talking about but then again some of our regulars have gone off the boil

    Need a clear out and quality added that’s there to be seen

    Questions needs to be asked about the fitness level of this team. Seems like our stamina went downhill after Ronny's departure.

    This display just showed how inept we are, basic passing was poor to say the least along with just about everything else. Were was the passion and fight from this team. We are becoming more and more of an embarrassment in Europe, very hard to watch.

    Aye good one, you must be the thickest * on here if you couldnt see having Brown, Forrest, Rogic, Benkovic etc out injured wasnt going to make it a lot more difficult. I take no pleasure in saying I was proved right but I do take pleasure that you've ended up looking like a right dumb *. :bye1:

    In all honesty did we expect anything else? Never mind the CL we are out of our depth in the EL. Our squad is nowhere good enough to compete at this level. A clear out in the summer is paramount if we want to stop being the whipping boys in Europe.

    Sorry but that's rubbish, at the tail end of Ronny's tenure was the worst we've been in a long time fitness-wise. We look minced because mentally we're weak in Europe and can't hold onto the ball. These teams pass around us and it tires us out, like it would any team.

    yeah i can see that 10 men behind the ball would get us possible results in europe but i just couldnt bare us admitting purist footballing defeat and playing scottish style anti fitbaw

    but trying to play a purist style against richer clubs technically probably better, physically stronger and competitively fitter when we arent used to that level of competition week in week out is also crazy stuff

    we should be aiming to play a bit of football and also mix it up not boxing ourselves in with set styles of play

    yeah hes has to be in contention but dont think he will start, think we will see miraculous recoveries from our injured players

    one critisism of him is that i dont see an end product from his attacking play as far as goals or assists but then he doesnt start many games and comes on usually 2nd half when we are winning i also think he is being asked to be a worker bee more than a creative asset so what would affect creativity

    People calling for Rodgers to be sacked or leave after getting beaten away to a top Bundesliga side in Europe, with an injury hit team.

    Just * off and support Real Madrid or Barcelona.

    Our fitness under Deila was a complete myth. We were regularly blowing out our arses as games wore on. eg. SC semi v Tributes in his 2nd season. He brought in a strict high protein, high fat, low carb diet that led to it. Mulgrew makes reference to it in his interview with Si Ferry.

    There was a noticeable improvement when Rodgers first came in. We ran over the top of teams and were relentless even when comfortably ahead.

    That level has clearly dipped. Our fitness isnt good enough both in our resilience to injury and our stamina to see out games. We no longer seem to collectively chase in packs when not in possession which was something we used to do and capitalise on defensive mistakes eg. Roberts winning possession v Astana in 2016 to cut back to Griffiths
