Never recovered from losing the early goal and we were chasing the game from the third minute. 

Frantic, no composure or control. Defence as a unit looked very nervous and hesitant. Midfield was non-existent. 

Shows you how bad Dundee are that we can beat them so easily with basically the same starting line up.

Kane and May are not the answer.

Hard to describe just how bad we were defensively in that. From the very first moment we looked like we had only met as a team last night. 

We all know Effie has a mistake in him....but the rest of the defence (other than maybe Dendonker) were poor.

Very little offering an option to the man on the ball, hence our defence spent most of the time passing between themselves, when they weren't making some sort of school-boy error.

Hopefully we got all our mistakes out of the system in the one game.

If you missed it....congrats...don't bother watching it on the box.

Couldnt see what happened for the last goal because I was down the other end but it looked nothing short of a calamity. First 2 goals came when we didnt get rid of the ball at the first sign of danger. Saints pretty much gifted those goals. We probably had more chances than them but nothing clear cut. The bar, a couple of good saves and blocks kept their clean sheet. Didnt think Livi looked that good but we handed them the opportunities and made it easy for them.

Think Ambrose and MOH knocked heads for the third

Yeah thought a head knock meant the ref had to stop play as well.

Too many players not up to par today. Efe, McCart and Spoony in particular. We missed Rooney when he went off -MOH had to do too much on his own.

One plus for me was Cammy Macpherson. Thought hooked hungry, good on the ball and didn't waste it.

We were one dimensional. McCart looking for long diagonals to Mikey all the time when May was making runs that he wasn't picking up . Also wasn't picking simple passes to Booth who was in the clear. Livi had it sussed with 2 men on Mikey all the time.

Hope Gordon in back & match fit next week or we are fecked.

Shows how much we rely on Rooney going forward.
