It's the manager's style.
If we took these CL games in isolation you could say yeah big step up, but we made Celtic look as comfortable as Liverpool did last night too. We also had warning signs away to Union, and even at home to PSV
I said it last night, Gio was such a silky player, attack minded, and we have the u18 Ajax coach beside him where total football was bloody invented yet they've teamed up to serve up the most negative, scared, tentative football I've seen from us in years.
Gerrard sussed we have to win the midfield battle in Europe. Gio doesn't seem to get that. Starting Davis away at anfield in 2022 is on both him and the board (btw no slight on Davis who is one of my favourite ever Gers players, but he's finished at this level)
I can't work out what our style is at all under Gio
