The big question is why the massive drop off in form?

Fifty thousand fans can't believe what we have witnessed after the break.What did they do in Dubai it's been a shambles since the Stranraer game.

They either over trained physically over the winter break or didn’t spend enough tactical training playing against 11 men behind the ball.

Probably both.

We've seen plenty poor performances this season before the winter break.

It's not just down to the winter break. Having one set up, style and game plan doesn't help.

I said after the draw at Tynecastle in October — a game in which we didn't create a single chance from open play — that it was only a matter of time before Gerrard's tactical inflexibility bit us in the arse.

But yes, it's not just the winter break; we toil badly after any international break. There's something off about it IMO.

Gerrard said we were specifically training to break teams down in the break and we are worse

That's the problem, passing it into the net.

I think the winter break, taking the players away from their routine has gave then time to get in their own heads.

They are playing scared, no one wants to man up & take a chance in case they are the one who blows the league. It’s crippled us
