Positives :
1. McGregor is fantastic
2. Defensively we can handle them
3. Gerrard now knows what he's up against
Let me stress these negatives that are about to follow are my opinion not facts, please treat them that way.
Negatives:
1. Tav again at fault, caught far to high up the pitch and should be back in RB defending when it comes to Nitcham at the back post.
2. Morelos can't score against them, granted he didn't have many chances but how long are we going to persist with a guy who can't do it against them?
3. Tactic's imo weren't far off being right but find it weird we set up for the counter and played 2 strikers? Fair enough Lafferty was wide but is he a wide man? Surely we would of been better having him upfront on his own holding it up and pacey wingers getting up and beyond him
4. We didn't press enough and gave them so much time to walk onto us
This being said I feel Ibrox will be a totally different game and I'm confident we will beat them there. We learn we move on, let's go 💙.

I don't share your optimism at the moment. We had very little creativity so what makes you think we'll beat them at Ibrox,?

To critise morelos is a bit unfair we cleary had a game plan yesterday and no striker would have scored against them as we sat back most of the game and no chances created for him.
For me our midfield lacks creativity hopefully couliabaly and grazda will make a difference when fit.

@Lanzarote I think we will press them from the word go at Ibrox and they will make mistakes and we will get in, also think we will flood the box with crosses for Lafferty and he will score, I agree with what your saying we don’t look very creative, hopefully we get Dorrans back in for creation?

@craig Ano what your saying mate and maybe I’m a bit harsh I just feel he can’t do it against them, I feel we need someone with pace up there to terrorise them.

Rh9 your spot on about the striker with pace unfortunately we do not currently have one hopefully this mite change in future.
If we where to play 2 wingers with pace candelias and middleton with lafferty supporting morelos and attack them i think you would see morelos is good enough and would score against them.
He just didn't have the support yesterday and our team droped to far back.

Totally agree, SG has lived a total season in 10 weeks, what a learning curve!
Watch this space after International break.

i don't understand criticising one striker and not the other or did i miss a lafferty goal. i'm not the manager but i thought he would have played one each half so we had a fresh pair of legs on the field at all times. but hey ho that's why i'm on the armchair and no in the dugout.
