Wish I shared your optimism.Hopefully he's not being fully honest when he says it's been down to just individual errors. I am sure the manager is looking at systemic issues too.

A very run of the mill PC
no journalist dared to ask the obvious questions
about changing systems or tactics
Hopefully he gets a reaction from them.it looks like Gerrard is raging and hurting at the same time he feels he's been let down badly by the players
That's not Gerrard's fault !A very run of the mill PC

Striker crisis - Morelos suspended and Defoe injury because not use to playing 4 games in a row.
So adds Kamberi to the squad.
Not a single mention of Greg Stewart who for me would be deemed as a striker. A player who has never let us down, yet has not been given a fair chance to establish himself.

morelos suspended??
Quite spiky from Gerrard there “ Am I allowed to criticise my players ??” , can tell he is getting agitated .
Interesting shit sandwich for the fans as well , very cleverly put - “Our fans don’t pick and choose , they are there , Russia , Austria Dubai ..... of course like every fan base there are days where they don’t like us , don’t get behind us as we would like, but it’s up to us to get them where we want to be “ .
He is refreshingly honest and I don’t think any bear dislikes the gaffer , we just need him to perhaps be that bit more ruthless and think more about how to kill teams domestically . If that means closing a game out by bringing on Edmunsen for a striker or whatever , do it , bore us to death but get the win .
Ryan Jack looked chalk white I reckon he was watching his words carefully

I thought Jack looked ill , am I reading too much into this and I know it is probably difficult for him sitting there doing the press conference, however he didn’t fill me with confidence when speaking not much emotion ,monotone, if it was me after that shit show the other night I would be bursting to get back on the pitch, and get right in about Livi and drag the rest with me.

Yeah same that would be an obvious starting point. He did mention that we had a perfectly good goal chopped off so he's clearly aware of poor standard but my thinking is the board must be telling him to keep his powder dry on that front.I thought somebody might have asked him about the referees decisions.
It annoys me as much as anyone - but at the moment, he can't really.Se that show a reaction talk it does my box in, its utter waffle. If Gerrard wants to protect his players he needs to speak out on the why and how his players are refereed in a different manner.
If he had went defensive when winning the game and we dropped points people would have complaint about that.
It’s all very well saying that after the result but killie could have went on to win the game even going more defensively.
What was it Einstein said the definition of insanity was?Yet he sticks with the same ones in the same formation all the time.
Disappointed there wasn't one single journalist willing to ask him the glaringly obvious question of why he didn't change anything in the 2nd half.
I was hoping Gerrard was going to raise the issue and turn it back on to the journalists for comment no such luck.I thought somebody might have asked him about the referees decisions.

warburton springs to mindGutless and pointless, not really addressing the elephant in the room, entirely ignoring at least five game changing refereeing decisions which would have seen us win comfortably. How can we expect our players to keep giving of their best when it gets completely undone by pivotal and horrendously unprofessional refereeing decisions.
We were winning and controlling the game, their player infringed the rules by virtue of a blatant dive whilst clutching his face in a manner which suggested he was trying to earn a penalty and potentially get a fellow professional punished. That alone should have seen Killie down to ten me and us in cruise control.
Yes teams have sussed SG’s tactics out and tend to just play a mass defence but we are getting refereed out of games whilst teams we are dominating are being played right back into them due to the corruption of referees in our league. That one decision let alone the other three game changing decisions was entirely pivotal to the outcome of the game.
The more our manager sits there blaming the players the more frustrated and disillusioned we get, imagine how the players feel. We are gutless as a club and as long as this prevails we will win the sum total of f*ck all!
He has to watch what he says about referees or he could be fined or suspended. He's already says we need VAR and I agree, it's the only way forward our refs are incompetentSe that show a reaction talk it does my box in, its utter waffle. If Gerrard wants to protect his players he needs to speak out on the why and how his players are refereed in a different manner.
Totally controlled PC. Clearly not allowed to ask questions that we really would like answers to. I don't want sound bites. I would like to know what his thinking is.
My biggest worry and I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen is that the players think the league is lost. We then lose silly points only to find, when its too late the mob from the East end up doing the same.
The results prior to the break both in Scotland and Europe show we have a good team. The team just have to start believing in themselves again.

Wouldn't that be an individual error?Including his own.
