He shouldn't be thinking about the headlines. It should have been a 2nd yellow and we should be playing 10 men.

Totally agree but this ref shat it.

We did start to play better in the last twenty-five minutes or so. If McGinn had scored that header we'd have been into extra time.

I don't know why there was so much emphasis on putting crosses into the box when their team are feckin giants and dealt with them easily.

Hickey looked way out of his depth in the first half but got better in the second half.

Hanley should be dropped. Something also is not right with McTominay and Dykes.

Would like to see Jacob Brown get a start and see what he can do.

We have been shite since before France 98 and have deteriorated in the 24 years since then

Qualifying through the back door for the Euros was just papering over the cracks and we were found out in that too

We are a 3rd rate, verging on 4th rate, International footballing nation and it is only going to get worse

Get a grip.

I'm also upset we lost but that is just nonsense.

same problems still 
 

We saw at the euros last summer that we don’t have quality in forwards positions to trouble even middle ranking sides.

until that changes we won’t move forwards 

we are slipping into that guaranteeing people games based on what they did a year ago again needs players in form

Got what we deserved. Showed Ukraine far too much respect for the first hour, making them look a lot better than they are. 

We at least showed a bit of fight for the last 25 minutes and looked a lot better after the formation changed, but the damage had been done by then.

The ref was a fud too but no excuses, the better team won, simple as that. Hope they can finish the job and go on and qualify.

My concern is made exactly the same mistakes in the euros- gap front to back massive with midfield 3 initially chasing shadows.

Without Tierney this formation looks wonky. We've better players than Wales but they'll beat Ukraine because those fuckers are arrogant enough to just play the team in front of them.

Three subs when half the team look knackered was a mistake 

Fuck Nations League on Premier Sports

When Christie came on and we switched to 4 at the back we played far better. Im disgusted with the overall performance, it was pretty easy to see things weren't working they gave us space to attack and when they had the ball back we were vulnerable. McTominay in midfield is far more effective. Their tactics were spot on and they showed up. I feel like we gave it away which hurts the most. Our best chance in 24 years at being at a World cup.
