Dessers at the double.

Showing some grit, but quality is not there.

I dont think we have any other dead ball specialists....Cantwell maybe?

Great goal Cyriel!!!

Yes I know, but up until recently, he found options- Sterling in midfield for example or right wing, but again he's LB today, not a position he's excelled in. That said, he made the right call to drop Goldson today, but should have done it before now. Silva good call. And Barisic, should never play for us again. So he's coming around.

And yet, they continue to be selected.

I can't say I'm excited or looking forward to the game tomorrow. Clement has taken this team full circle back to where we were with Beale at the start of the season. There's no credit left in the bank as far as I'm concerned.

Well that makes 3 of us

Rangers 2 Hearts 2 FGS: Tav (Go on have one for the road)

I'd rather McLaughlin play left back than Barisic, but I agree Sterling's needed in midfield.

Butland, I suppose.

I agree, but I'm not a football recruitment expert. That's Koppen's job to figure it out. Yeah, we won't get rid of everyone, but let's start with one, two or three of your list above. Who'd have thought we could have off-loaded Lammers on loan and now potentially be able to sell and recoup our costs. I also think, and I know you disagree, I would keep Cantwell and Ridvan from your list. But Goldson, Lawrence, Dowell, Dessers and Wright should be told they can look for new clubs and that they won't get much game time if they stay. If some Saudi club are interested in Tav, I think the club would bite their hands off. Jack, Roofe, Barisic will be off the wage bill and I expect the loans will end for Sima, Silva and Cortes. So I think we'll see an ever bigger change this summer than we did the last. Whether they are replaced with better depends on whether the board are hungry enough for the CL money or not, knowing each season of failure makes the next a bigger mountain to climb. What I do know is that the team needs a solid defence, that should be the priority. I've said before, last season and the season before, that I felt that we wouldn't win another title with Tav and Goldson and I stand by that.

It's the same mess recycled. We, as fans, will not figure out the solution. That's up to the board to fund and the manager and the head of recruitment to implement. We can't keep playing players that are past it just because they have two years left of their contract - Clement will know that surely? The board 'probably' made the right appointment with Clement, now they need to back him properly and see what he can do. They can' afford to be missing out on CL money, whilst the yahoos feast at the top table on their own....or this time they may get 10 in a row...or more.

At least it's still in our hands. Win every game 4-0 should win us the title.

I don't know if it's that they're knackered, I think it's more to do with being shit.
