Ah here that’s awful.
I’m not at all sure about BR this time out.
A lot of working it out to the wingers and then back inside for a shot from outside the box. We have been better in recent weeks with McGregor pushed forward. Turnbull has been conservative most of the time and then when he’s tried a more adventurous pass he has given it away each time.
Mikey not having a positive influence either. He needs to be much more direct here.
Jesus.
Don’t think that was a free kick and Clancy has given them a number of very questionable decisions.
We’re in big trouble here
Things seem to be running away from Brendan Rodgers. Rangers also in improved form under their new manager whose name I don’t know. Will Brendan last the season?
Ah Palma needs to score there
Strong Covid season/Neil Lennon vibes off this. Has BR lost the dressing room I wonder?
That was awful
There are about 7 or 8 players that could be justifiably taken off at half time.
Taylor has been pure shite. Simple screen on the corner and he gets caught by it. Needs to at least try and battle to the ball and maybe get fouled in the process. Poor on the ball too. Scales could do better on the goal too I think
Mikey has been dreadful. Got a few crap passes from AJ but even still his touch and physicality have been way off it. I’d be astonished if he came back for the second half.
Turnbull not involved at all in general play.
Palma has been very very average.
And what an appalling refereeing performance too. He’s just given them everything when there’s been a challenge. And missed plenty in our direction.
Three subs
Three changes at the break…
Oh, Ralston and Maeda
For
Turnbull, AJ and Mikey J
Oh, Maeda, Ralston
Ah Kyogo that’s a sitter
Kyogo sitter sadly
Bernabei on, if he was trying to make a point…
This is poison
Jesus that was atrocious.
Hart played like a coward. So did Taylor. Scales battled well but still looked like a struggle for him. CCV was fine. AJ was poor on the ball. Ralston played some decent long passes but doesn’t have any sort of control when he’s on the ball.
McGregor played well for a spell but in general was very quiet. He needs to play further forward all the time I think. He doesn’t seem to work well as a 6 any more. Maybe can afford him there when Hatate plays. Turnbull isn’t good enough. O’Riley didn’t really have much luck.
Mikey shouldn’t play again really. That was abysmal from him. Palma was almost as bad. He’s the sort of player who you can afford to have as an alternative option if you have good wingers already. As a main creative threat he’s far too flaky and erratic. Maeda wasn’t really any better but I guess he’s rusty. Forrest actually beat their full back but then fell into line with everyone else and started wasting the ball.
Kyogo and Oh looked bereft of confidence. Kyogo in particular should have scored. And Palma should have scored too.
Bernabei was laughably bad. What a clown of a player.
Rodgers picked a crap team. We’ve one from not picking Iwata for four months to falling apart when he misses a match. No discernible attacking pattern. There is some dross in the squad and it need immediate fixing.
Might have to spend some money for that.
Tbh, I’ve been worried that there’s too much dross for a while. Maeda has been a huge loss. Oh needs two decent wide players. I feel a bit sorry for oh. I think he’d score at a team with a recognisable pattern of play which reliably feeds a centre forward, but we are slowly, inexorably it seems, drifting into a mess without obvious shape, pattern or form. We carry no consistent threat. The players look tired or detached or both. It doesn’t look like a blip either, it looks like an old car with too many bodges.
