Oh... Red card; both down to 10 men. Dangerous one but he's slipped a bit.

Oh! What a move! Really unfortunate not to find the far corner.

Wee Mols turn there on 35 minutes, creates the space, tame shot.

I'm still laughing at that line about the price of oil! "[...] you can get a barrel for a tenner down the barras".

4-3-3, with Kent/Middleton playing as false 9. It could create some nice overloads, but it would need the three up front to be aware of when to occupy the box.

Why not something along the lines of: 'Oh, Stevie G is magic, he wears a magic hat...'

I was going to 'correct' the title there...

Ugh. Thought I had seen that back of that dump.

Anybody see the game? How did Kamara and Polster play?

Hopefully we see this often over the next few years: "GOAL! Kamara sends the ball into the path of Glen Middleton who fires the ball into the back of the net from inside the box."

I thought this was two different threads for a moment there, until I watched the video. It's a bit weird, but I suppose he's going with the players with which he's played.

I'm not sure he can; Sarri's an idealist.

I don't subscribe to the Kante criticism. Kante is an average, at best, player -- although a machine when it comes to winning the ball back -- therefore I wouldn't be trying to find his best position, I'd look to build the squad around better players. He's at his best in a two; anything else and he struggles. There are solutions, but I wouldn't change my whole system for him. I think there's something wrong with that Chelsea squad. How many times are they going to 'down tools'? I thought it was Mourinho third-season-syndrome, but then they down tools under Conte, and now I feel like they're doing it again. They need to stick with a manager and rebuild. I'm not sure Sarri is the one, because he's too idealistic.

I think we all agree it was a poor performance. But, when you consider how well we defended, and slogged it out against a difficult opponent, in difficult conditions, then I see a positive there. In seasons past we would've capitulated. I still expect us to be beating this team, though.

On reflection, I think we defended very well. And, we actually created a few chances -- but, we were still really, really poor up front. It's all the more frustrating, in that sense.

Why is Kent not hitting that?! Finishes 0-0.

Lafferty coming on for Defoe. How's Defoe going to get me my 2 points for the GPL now!?

Arfield is so slow! He has ages to ping a pass out wide to Kent, but waits too long and actually fouls the defending player!

Defoe finally gets a sniff, but he fires wide.

McCrorie has been immense this second half.

Worrall misses a free header 6 yards out! He's maybe reaching for it.

Why are we so complacent on the ball? Surely they know this team's going to be up for it; especially after the week in the media.

I'm getting sick of these long balls; they're aimless. A ball in behind is fine, but they're not going in behind. We actually look OK when we get it down on the floor - albeit lacking a bit of quality when it counts.

I think I'd take Arfield off before McCrorie.
