I submit that we did not look or play "shite" nor were we "awful", "poor", "horrible" and the rest of the over-the-top B.S. that too many have been saying in this thread.
Oh come on Stav. They're merely examples of fans frustrations spilling out. That sort of over simplified glib summation has happened since football began and will until the day it disappears. Clearly by definition they're OTT but I don't understand how anybody can expect anything other than that on a fan forum given the huge expectation and ensuing huge disappointment many have clearly felt.
The 'shite' analogies are merely an exaggerated blunt way of saying the performance lacked the real quality everyone has come to expect from us these days - the energy, bite, zip, penetration, guile, pace, movement, teamwork and the ensuing chance creation/goals that have stemmed from that level of play and with which we've become so attached to.
To deny that those qualities were absent in that performance is just burying your head in the sand.
Of course it doesn't mean it's the end of the world by any stretch but it was the case on the day and understanding why it happened is crucial for Rodgers and important for us.
And Rodgers will most definitely never again in such circumstances field a team with SEVEN new faces.
