Na we don't. If he hasn't gifted them they goal, it's extremely unlikely they get back into the game. Completely gifted them the momentum. Did really well to get that second attempt off the line but what other saves did he actually make? That pretty straightforward one from the header in the second half is all I can remember. Don't blame him for their 3rd but he also didn't react at all to that

Even worse than I thought on the highlight as I didn't notice the step to his left. Genuinely don't understand what went through his brain at that point. The gap was already massive so why an earth would you start moving the other way. He's absolutely miles away from it in the end with such a feeble dive

Utterly bizarre to basically play him at left back for the second half. He was deeper than Thomas for most of it. Did a decent enough job though

Said it in the match thread, but that wasn't a mistake/error, it was gross incompetence. Wasn't a great free kick anyway but the fact he thought he and his wall was set up anything close to properly, is embarrassing. I genuinely would have done a better job. Should never play professional football again after that

He doesn't even work that hard

100% on the keeper. It was embarrassing. No that much pace, nowhere near the corner. Not hyperbole to say that I would have saved that. That wasn't just a bad mistake, it was utter incompetence. The guy is in his late 30's and played for England. Should never play again after that.

Brilliantly taken goal but his all round performance was absolutely terrible. He made 1 decent tackle tracking back in the 2nd half but rest of the game he was either falling over or totally anonymous.

Na, he's doing well. Good to keep the team the same when under the cosh and makes total sense to play your most creative player at left back

Why the f is Alves playing deeper than Thomas

That goalkeeping . Not even close to the corner or hit hard

Just thinking it feels like years since a striker did that

Goals more important than anything, and it was a great take. But his general play has been abject so far

Terrible defending

Great touch and finish. Just about his first good one (touch) in his time here . All came from pressing the ball and playing it quickly. Brussell immediately looking at the laptop to make sure it doesn't happen again

Alves' delivery from that kind of position is brilliant

Dreadful start. So slow that Souttar has to be pumping it long instead of trying to play an impossible pass on 2 occasions

Non-footballing reasons doesn't even have to mean they have done something wrong. Could be they have stuff going on which is why they're not involved

What a legend. Love the guy

I don't really understand why people think this? I mean, it is fairly logical but it's against the backdrop of how things have been done here. We've often waited too long to sack managers/line up replacements and that's going to be even worse when Martin is a pet fetish of this ownership. They'll cling onto him for as long as they possibly can

What about the Wolves game we lost 4-3 after being up 3-0 at half time?

Beat me by seconds and with a slightly different angle/tone

Don't know what I'd pick but I think that is totally fair as a choice. Losing a QF to a team multiple divisions below is bad enough, let alone when it was a striker that they picked up through the equivalent of putting an ad on X/Instagram etc. Realise form had also dropped before then but it then became central to it tanking, ultimately leading to relegation and administration

But the irony of Rangers fans saying that is that not only did we know, we knew before them. We were delighted that he went there instead of ending up here

Is he? He's saying that you get a vibe from a place when you've been around for a long time, which is totally fair enough. Sounds like he's saying there was no unifying culture, camaraderie etc which i think we all feel from the outside looking in

Just to be clear, I'm not saying he should have scored or that it's massively concerning for the reasons you've both stated. What I'm pointing out is that this is a huge step up in terms of pressure and he's been let down by the tactics and the management of him. It's just easy to see him thinking that he hasn't scored in 6 (8 including his previous club), the manager has hooked me early a few times/dropped me/I'm not getting any chances etc and him feeling even more pressure
