I feel like we've just never got the ball under control.

They've done nothing all game. It's always the same, with us.

F*ck.

What about the ball control from Gerrard on the sidelines! Cool as you like.

Damn: we've had 20 attempts. Kent's had a much better 2nd half.

Can we contact that Chinese club about Morelos... ? I'm being harsh; he's just having a bit of a dry spell. He'll be back. Good chance, and he makes the right decision to lift it high, but it's just a little too high.

Kamberi has been the difference. The change in formation has been vital too, so credit to SG and Beale.

On loan with an option, or obligation to buy, I think.

St Jonhstone player swipes the ball out directly from our corner, but I like how Collum takes half an hour to decide whether he can get away with giving a goal kick...

4-4-2, or 4-2-2-2, is the only way we'd get those players (Kent, Hagi and two strikers) in the team; at least as part of a stable formation.

It looks like a 4-4-2, with Hagi playing Right-midfield, but of course, he's playing inside; Kent wide left which should suit him more.

Beauty of a cross from Kent! Tavernier at the back post, coming on to it, can't control it and it squirms high and wide.

Gets better every time I see it: the technique to volley that!

Kamberi with a peach!!!!

Kamberi on for Halliday - Aribo back in at LB!!

I'm past caring. If we turn up and play like this, we deserve all we get.

Another bugbear of mine is our crossing. Brutal stuff. We're placing it too close to the 'keeper, or delicately drifting it into a packed box. No chance. Why can't we whip it in, or cut it back to the edge of the box?!

HT, 1-0. We've been lively, buzzing away, but without any quality in the final third. St Johnstone have done nothing, other than a couple of long balls, and scoring from one of them. A wee bit of quality and it's a cricket score, IMO.

I'd go 3-4-1-2: Kamberi - Morelos Hagi Arfield - Aribo - Jack - Tavernier Halliday - Katic - Goldson McGregor Bring Kamberi on for Kent, to get two strikers running off Hagi in his best, central position. Tavernier high and wide on the right, Arfield on the left. (Kent would be better wide left, but I just prefer Arfield's desire at the moment.)

Why can't we hit the target from distance? We've created a few long-range chances, but every time the shot has been skied or scuffed wide. At least hit the target... FFS.

I agree with you, but the irony is, the neat and tidy is the only way we've looked like scoring; when we've gone long, we've given up possession.

There's just a real dearth of quality. It's so frustrating because they've got it in them. Aribo looks up for it. Along with Arfield, Hagi and Jack, they're the only ones who look like they can do something.

What's annoying is, like most other diddy teams, we cant deal with their only offensive tactic which is the long ball. It should not this hard to deal with.

It's actually been quite a lively start from us, to be fair. We're just lacking that bit of quality on the final ball.

Not just today, he's been like this for a while.
