Controversial opinion coming up, not a knee jerk reaction to yesterday's result, just what I think will make us better going forward:

- Sell Christie and Rogic.
- Replace them with Paddy Roberts and Ryan Fraser.
-Use Elyounoussi through the middle.
- Get Ntcham in the team at all costs, even if Brown is dropped/ rotated.
- Experienced centre half required.
- Left back required urgently.
- If Elhamed is fit he should start ahead of Frimpong.

I can't put my finger on it but I just can't take to Ryan Christie. I get he puts a shift in but he is normally chasing the ball he has just gave away. Good player but not the superstar he sees himself as.

With regard to Brown I like him and still think he has a lot to offer but when teams aren't going to hurt us through the middle of the park and camp on their own 18 yard line what's the point of having him in there at the expense of someone more creative like Ntcham?

Harsh on Christie for me Buster. I don't think he swans about thinking he's a superstar at all and let's not forget who scored the goal yesterday. Having said that, he's had a slow start and I'd have gone with Ntcham yesterday tbh.

The whole team were awful but Ryan had a mare.

My issue with Ryan Christie is he’s not as good as he thinks he is. When he scores he then runs around trying worldy passes or shots which rarely come off. When we step up against better players his ball retention isn’t great either, if you could join his effort and work rate with ntcham passing ability we would have a terrific midfielder

I felt the same about Commons when he played that position for us. Scored goals but I viewed him as greedy and selfish which you can see irritates team mates at times. Obviously Christie isn't as lazy as Commons but I'm just not a fan of his. In the CAM role I'd have Elyounoussi, Ntcham and Rogic if fit in there before him. Stuart Armstrong was probably my most preferred player for that role in the last 5 years, could score and create, had an eye for a pass and got stuck in and worked hard for the team and wasn't always injured like Rogic.

Last season there was too much mischief making speculation about the huge valuations and importance of Christie, Ajer and Cal-Mac and maybe some of that in Christie and Ajer's case is causing big-heids?
