    He's running through on goal and is pulled, just enough to throw him off balance and he go's down....... how is that a disgrace ?

    If he gets a ban, it’ll probably be a good thing.

    He’s been utter dug * so far, so he’ll come back hungry!

    Could do with an extended period on the bench in my opinion. The amount of games he's been involved in and the physicality of Scottish football must take it's toll on a player who is constantly running with the ball and also being booted up in the air.

    That was his 75th game for us today already.

    I think his form is a combination of burnout plus I don't feel the recent change in tactic has helped him at times. He seems to be playing far too central.

    Whether or not he is being told to do so in order to compensate for Tierney's outside runs I'm not sure, but its harbouring his game.

    I've always wondered about the central thing whether he's been instructed to do that. Never made much of a fuss about it cause of the amount of goals and assists he gets though.

    I think another factor is that he has no competition. On the right we have Forrest and Roberts pushing each other on. Sinclair has Jonny Hayes.

    I'm unsure either and I'm not going to question Rodgers, but it is making it easier for teams to nullify him. He's not been great lately but that 1st half today was the worst I've seen in a while. Didn't do anything right.

    Thought he was poor today and it is clear as day 100% dive, I'm sorry but anyone saying otherwise is kidding themselves on, do you honestly think that tiny tug is nearly enough to bring anyone down? No. Deserves the ban coming his way.

    He is a fantastic player who hasn't hit the form of last season, hopefully the break does him good and he comes back fresh. Great guy and player when on form

    Nonsense.

    How many games has Jonny Hayes either played at, or started at LM/W? Most of the time he's came on at RW.

    This is a rotating and flexible team.

    Forrest can play on the left, and Sinclair also has Tierney to compete with whenever the tactics are tweaked.

    I don't get this.
    yes there was ''slight'' contact, but it's still contact.
    and yes he goes down easily, but that's the modern game for you.
    diving is when you throw yourself to the ground without the slightest of touches.

    So every bit of contact In football now should be considered a foul? And just because it's the Modern game does that make it acceptable?

    Of course he did and it was fantastic to see. Most hovering around this thread won't be interested in that though as they are only interested in the tabloid moment.

    Gonna have to agree to disagree, for me it is simulation and a clear dive. If Moult had done that today and got Jozo sent off the uproar would be mad

    That seems to have flown WAY over your head.

    Players that can play on the left wing/left hand side:

    Sinclair
    Hayes
    Forrest
    Tierney


    And that's not even including:

    Roberts
    McGregor
    Armstrong
    Girffiths
    Johnston
