David Edgar cut a weary figure as he shared his thoughts following the 3-0 Champions League defeat for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Euro warriors.
Following the joys of last season’s freakish run in the Europa League stepping up into the big competition has provided a rude awakening for the gullible.
James Tavernier isn’t a goal scoring machine, there are better midfielders on earth than John Lundstram with Ryan Jack discovering that step-overs don’t really count when you are playing decent teams.
Edgar delivered his usual dose of upbeat club spin such as the amazing performance of Ridvan Yilmaz while being forced to concede that Alfredo Morelos is out of shape and out of his depth- and soon out of contract.
Ten transfer windows filled with clubs keeping tabs, preparing bids and set to make offers have amounted to nothing similar to last night’s performance from the chunky Colombian.
It is a real shame watching Alfie at this level when you remember the guy in 2019 that was rampaging through the Europa League. He just looks miles off that at the moment.
If the gap at the top of the SPFL Premiership stretches beyond four points Edgar will soon be sharing his thoughts on another new boss in a blazer and brogues.
