I noticed that in the commentary. The wee scrote could not help himself could he?

I have a feeling that we are going to turn up tonight and do them. Aberdeen have played 270 minutes against us and have had about 3 shots on target (scoring all 3). Their luck cannot continue (surely) and we are due a good performance away from home. C'mon the Rangers!!!

Still think the two teams with biggest say in the title race are Man Utd and Spurs. Both Liverpool and City have to go to Old Trafford and now Man Utd are winning, I can see them taking points of the top 2. On the other hand, Spurs have got to go to Anfield and the Ethiad. Tough games all round

Still unsure why the 4 pens are a big issue. 1,3 and 4 are pens. The only one that is doubtful is no 2 and as SG said, we didn't claim for that. It seems like the ref went quick with a decision based on the slight contact and Defoe going to ground. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Not sure if this system helps Morelos. Very scrappy performance so far

Really like the look of Polster. He's very dynamic

Agree. I thought we started to probe better in groups in the 2nd half then Davis was subbed and we lost any momentum.

Harsh indeed. Defoe is an goalscorer and we created next to nothing for him. What problems we had last night don't lie at the door of a guy making his debut. The formation just didn't work IMO. Still don't understand why Davis was subbed (apart from fatigue)

So wing backs effectively? Who would you use? Borisic (if fit) could that job? Tav on the right? Who would be the 3 at the back?

I wouldn't say we created "lots of opportunities to score". Can't even remember a chance in 2nd half

Is it possible? Both ultimately do the same thing

As much as I welcome Defoe and his goalscoring track record, there was always a fear at the back of my head about whether we need 2 up top and how that will effect our team overall.

Got to disagree Pete. I genuinely think Davis can bring some calmness and composure to our midfield. We lost our way when came off IMO. Before that we were probing with intent. After that it was long balls and rushed passes.

Five yards quicker to be fair to Davie

It's a bit early to talk about keeping his job etc. SG has much to learn but I've seen enough to keep the faith in the bigger picture.

I think that could be said of a lot of our players tbh

On the plus side...Davis showed enough composure on the ball to suggest that he could be very valuable to us (once up to speed)

The only answer that looks certain is our inability to transfer our home form to our away games. That's why we won't win the league.

I admire your positivity but the league is over IMO. Celtic will drop points but more depressingly so will we. Our away form is woeful and will be our downfall. Apart from the opening day at Pittodrie and our recent draw at Easter Rd, we have been truly awful in every away game.

They don't need to create loads of chances. They nullified us and always gave us something to think about. Job done

Am I only thinking it's got to be Morelos or Defoe, not both? Playing 2 similair strikers reduced our width IMO.

Are we though? Kilmarnock played us like a fiddle tonight

Agree 100%. Didn't understand Davis coming off? Arfield was doing nowt and I thought Davis and Jack were starting to put their foot on the ball. All the good work and momentum achieved by beating the tims is gone in 90 minutes. We kissed goodbye to the league tonight

Bang on. Especially since they're talking about Bayern Munich spending nearly 40 million on young Chelsea fringe player.

What school did Lancelot go to?...
