That first half was the biggest embarrassment I've witnessed in more than 30 years of going to games. Forget the score, I'm talking about how they passed the ball, their shape, movement, etc - they controlled it as if they were playing a junior team. You can see how they've been coached, well it's as clear as the nose on your face that Warburton has done more in 6 months than Deila in 18. In that time they seem to be doing all the things that we were promised - playing from the back, controlling a game, passing at a high tempo. While all we did was punt it up the park and look for 2nd balls, and we never even got that right because the team doesn't push up enough. I was actually watching our manager shout and shout and shout for the players to press and they never done it once, that's been the story from the outset, the things he would like us to do we don't do! Every time it went back to Craig Gordon he was shutting his eyes and kicking it as far up the pitch as humanly possible. The keeper should be playing it to feet 90% of the time. I knew it was the season from hell, I knew there had been no progress, even all the little things aren't being done right either. It's actually like watching a wannabe Tony Pulis' team, but of course without the aggression and organisation. The manager doesn't learn, the players don't learn, yet he still picks them, - Boyata had 3 fouls in around 5 mins, the sort of defending you wouldn't see in a public park. Our players are all pretty average, in the grand scheme of things, but Ronny Deila somehow manages to make them look even worse than they are. I'm sure we all agree not 1 of that mob would get in our 18 man squad yet they had more than 60% possession and we're taking the piss out us at times! The only surprise for me today was just how much he's improved them, I already knew we were a disgrace!

Lets be honest we were absolutely rubbish not just today but all, season ad I blame the board for their policy of selling our best players enough is enough time to put pressure on the board and Desmond if all they want is their bonuses get rid of them like we got rid of the kelly's and white's.

Delphic. Your post doesn't merit a 50/ 50 split IMVHO. You watched the same game as me and I saw what you saw and the bigger / wider point is the performance and how we play and approach games and in-game situations. They played to a system and had a rhythm. Their approach was legible. Ours was, well ermmmmm clueless and headless and directionless.
