I would add Ajer and Forrest to that list.
I'd say Ajer is there most overrated player. Barely ever looks comfortable against us or in Europe. Even away games against Hibs or Livi, he looks like he wants to be anywhere else but there.

Talent wise our first eleven is better. That's what makes the post winter-break collapse so mysterious.
Obviously you need more than talent to be awarded a league.
Absolutely overrated (which one of their players isn’t by them and the Scottish media?) and the Real Madrid rumours are ridiculous, however, objectively he is a good to very good defender for the Scottish league with a lot of experience in the league, a regular international and only 22...I'd say Ajer is there most overrated player.

There’s not an obvious candidate I suppose though I think Kent has to do more.Who would get ahead of him at lw? They don’t tend to have one . Johnston or elynaoussi who’s prob away home by now . I can’t think of a LW that would get ahead of him in their squad. Don’t get me wrong if Kent has another season like this one it will be very disappointing
Exactly. That’s why we need better players in, and more striking options, as well as the ability to play more than the one, very predictable, formation.Kent needs to add more goals to his game , that was part of our problem last season, Alfie dries up so did we.
They we’re getting goals from Christie , McGregor and Forrest for example.
No disagreement from me on any of that.Exactly. That’s why we need better players in, and more striking options, as well as the ability to play more than the one, very predictable, formation.
Man for man they aren't a good side, we match or better them in almost every department.
Their urgency and hunger every game we don't match
McGregor, Helander, Barisic and Jack.
Forgot about Tav tbh. Add him to the list I posted.Who do they have remotely close to Tav's ability?

No, we lost the league because of poor performances against teams not as good as them.Then that’s your opinion.
we didn’t lose the league because of poor performances v them
They arent champions they didn't win the league.I feel the sentiments of some of the posters but we were 13 points behind them when the season was cancelled.
They are a better side (at the moment) that's why they are champions and we arent.
We have some great individual players but the problem is the mentality. If we approached the second half of the season as we did in december we would be champions and they wouldnt.
The tell tail signs were there against Stranrear and we done nothing to motivate them on from Januray.
I suspect Aribo, Hagi, Kent and Hellander will have a good season now they are settled and stay injury free.
That’s the big difference and we can all see it so the bloody management team better.That’s it exactly. Their midfielders and attacking mids are regular in scoring over 10 goals a season.
Our midfielders are miles off them
We didn’t lose the league.No, we lost the league because of poor performances against teams not as good as them.
You're OK with that?
In the final analysis, we weren't good enough to effectively challenge for the league.We didn’t lose the league.
That’s the spirit.In the final analysis, we weren't good enough to effectively challenge for the league.
You think we were or do you simply have an aversion to seeing it in black and white?That’s the spirit.
Based on what we saw post New Year we will certainly looking well off the mark but results change football and it wasn’t impossible.You think we were or do you simply have an aversion to seeing it in black and white?
I never said it was impossible.Based on what we saw post New Year we will certainly looking well off the mark but results change football and it wasn’t impossible.
I think in many positions they do, yes.You think they have more better individuals than us?
No suggestion you did say it was impossible!I never said it was impossible.
Given how poorly we played post New Years, we shot ourselves in the foot.
We did the damage to ourselves, no one else.
We imploded.
No suggestion you did say it was impossible!
you asked my opinion and I gave it along with my reason they did not WIN it.
And yes we did implode.
Right.No suggestion you did say it was impossible!
you asked my opinion and I gave it along with my reason they did not WIN it.
And yes we did implode.
We pretty much agree , I just can’t say the WON it this year.Right.
I
Right.
I don't think you and I are too far away from agreeing.
They put themselves in a position to win the league.
We put ourselves in a position where winning it would prove extremely difficult.
They put themselves in that position by winning more games than us.
Our players do not perform as well as their players over the course of a season.
Not just this season but last season.
didn't say I was OK with it, but it is what happenedNo, we lost the league because of poor performances against teams not as good as them.
You're OK with that?
McGregor
Tav Goldson Julienne Barisic
Jack Davis McGregor
Forrest Edouard Kent
Id go with this except Christie for Davis.
There’s no way I’m picking a combined XI that is heavily weighted in our favour when there’s one team who’ve won everything in sight for years and another who’s continually failed to deliver when it really matters. Turning up for one off games against Celtic doesn’t mean anything when these guys careers end and they have no winners medals whilst their team need rooms specifically for theirs.Our midfield have played them off the park in the recent games.
They couldn't get near Arfield, Kamara or Jack at Hampden, or Davis at the piggery.
Our midfielders are technically way superior.
Semantics.We pretty much agree , I just can’t say the WON it this year.
we were not looking likely based on form but the same would have applied leading up to Helicopter Sunday.
It was awarded to them prior to completion and that Is not debatable.Semantics.
They put themselves in a position to win.
We put ourselves in a position to fail.
Look, I agree they didn't "win" the league but they sure as shit didn't loose it.
We did.
Opinions mate.
I think you'd lose the balance in midfield.
I'd have Kamara in if anyone was dropping out the mid.
No, it's not debatable.It was awarded to them prior to completion and that Is not debatable.
Jullien, Ajer, McGregor, Forrest and Edouard if im being honest would all walk onto our side at present
These are the areas we need to improve on
A top quality cb would have been top of my list with a quality striker with money we could have got for Morelos at one point but we've probably missed the boat
Not disputing that , what I did dispute was your writing we LOST the league #67 which is not fact.No, it's not debatable.
We're going round in circles.
We imploded and lost the plot.
They didn't.
That's the facts.
