Here we go again...?

We look so much better when our passing is quick and precise. The first 10/15 mins of the 2nd half proved that IMO

I'm with you on this. Especially with 2 OF games to play. We simply cannot afford to give them any hope as I can see them going on a good run now the pressure is essentially off them. Maybe the might hang onto to Wotsit teeth...?

Said much the same thing earlier. It's almost like we've forgotten that for us to score we need to up the tempo and work their goalie

If the whole team was functioning I would be more concerned about Itten but not many players have performed well today, therefore I don't get why he gets singled out?

Is it me or have we forgot that to be able to score we actually have to create chances...?

Early goal is key

Are Arfield and Defoe in the squad?

High tempo from the first whistle and no pedestrian football please. 3 points is a must and a good performance will help banish that horrible display v Hamilton. C'mon Rangers. We're nearly there!!

Jesus. Grow a pair or turn the volume off. The best response to these 2 is to wrap up title 55.

I wouldn't juggle too much. Especially if we win it early and remain unbeaten. I think professional pride should mean we should be aiming for an unbeaten season if it is possible.

Still too risky. Just go out and win the next 5/6 with the strongest team possible.

I disagree. The time to rest players and tinker is when this is done. Say we were to drop points due to a few more draws. That could potentially reduce our lead to 11 pts. We still have to play them twice and who's to say they dont get their tails up and win those 2 games. Just play our best XI in all games until this is done. There is too much riding on this to risk it on trying to prove a point about the depth of our squad.

I agree tbh but bloody nothing surprised me in football. Claudio Ranieri was sacked a few months after winning the PL for Leicester.

Is anyone got one eye on the Liverpool situation? I can't see them getting rid of Klopp this season (too many key injuries) but he was untouchable at Dortmund and then it went sour quickly. Liverpool have not lost 3 consecutive league games at Anfield in 55 years. For our sakes, I hope they turn the corner soon.

I think after today you will not see Zungu after his loan agreement expires. Tidy enough but does he offer more than what we have? With the lad also coming in from Bournemouth, I think his days are numbered tbh

What a terribly awful performance today. Felt sorry for Itten tbh. Don't think he did much wrong and I would have liked to see him and Roofe together. Hopefully a wee reminder that we've won nothing yet and that there is still plenty of work to do. Draws are as good as defeats so we have no room to start getting sloppy. Especially with 2 games against them to play. We need to really start upping the tempo from the first whistle over the next 3/4 games. Oh and play your strongest XI and get the match won.

Valid points but I think Zungu has started 1 game (cup V St.Mirren)? A game in which everyone was dreadful. Hopefully we'll see what he can do today out with the occasional cameo?

Nice to see Itten get the nod. Slightly surprised by the midfield but the bench is strong if changes are needed

Magic ?

If we win our next 3 games does that effectively mean we are 3 wins from securing 55?

Yes. I think it was earlier in the season. Pitch looks better and people have tans. Still a shocker though

Just had the chance to see a tackle ON Roofe by a St Johnstone defender. Is that from Wednesday or the game in August? That was worthy of two red cards IMO. That was a shocker yet and if it is from Wednesday I've yet to see much about it https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7AYfLh_ty/?igshid=j4jk4y5w622i

I just saw that Liverpool lost again. I hope they don't need a new manager soon. C'mon TF Jurgen! ???

Bloody hate going in 0-0 at HT. Feeling nervy about 2nd half
